Okay, I finally need your help again. The House of Representatives is voting TOMORROW Please call and email your US Congressman and ask them to support the CJS amendment to defund Department of Justice interference in state medical cannabis programs. To find your Congress person: votesmart.org/ and put in your ZIP+4 (find that on usps if you dont know it) Stop the Department of Justice (DOJ) from interfering in the implementation of state medical cannabis programs! Every year, Congress approves a series of appropriations bills that formally sets the budget for various governmental departments and agencies. The Commerce, Justice, Science, and other Agencies (CJS) appropriations bill determines the budget of the DOJ and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) for the coming fiscal year. This year, a bipartisan amendment to the 2014 CJS bill will be introduced that will cut the DOJs funding for interference in the implementation of medical cannabis programs in states that have made it legal. This would mean that for the next fiscal year, the DOJ would not be able to halt the progress being made in several medical cannabis states as they begin implementing their programs and providing medicine to qualified patients. Urge your Member of Congress to support the CJS Medical Marijuana Amendment! The amendment currently has 10 sponsors, 5 Republicans and 5 Democrats [Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Sam Farr (D-CA), Don Young (R-AK), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Steve Cohen (D-TN), Paul Broun (R-GA), Jared Polis (D-CO), Steve Stockman (R-TX), and Barbara Lee (D-CA)], but we need your help reaching out to all Members of Congress to ask for their support when it comes to a vote on the House floor this week. CALL AND EMAIL your Representative today and urge them to support the 2014 CJS Medical Marijuana Amendment - See more at: org.salsalabs/o/182/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=15759#sthash.qyaoCS9v.dpuf
