Thanks to the tens-of-thousands of individuals just like you, Congress seems to be starting to wake up. Right now, today, Republican Representative Tom McClintock and Democratic Representative Jared Polis are circulating a letter in support of their amendment to defund the Department of Justice’s ability to enforce federal prohibition in the states that have reformed their marijuana laws, both for medical and responsible adult-use.
Today, one in five Americans resides in a jurisdiction where the adult use of cannabis is legal under state statute, and the majority of citizens reside someplace where the medical use of cannabis is legally authorized.

There has never been as much support in favor of Congressional action. This is because the politicians are finally starting to get the point. The polls don’t lie: outright majorities of Democrats, Republicans and Independents are in favor of full marijuana legalization.

This sounds great! Where’s the amendment? I’d love to read it.
Sounds like another state thing. We need federal laws to change not just states laws.
H.R. 1227 & H.R. 2020.

Message sent! Thanks, NORML! Let’s get this done!
I’ve been working with the Senate campaign for Representative Beto O’rourke. I let Tami, his campaign manager know about this amendment and asked her to get Beto to cosponsor it, (if he hasn’t already). In return I could work with Texas NORML to update our voter guide and National NORML could update our Congressional Scorecard.
Leverage; let’s use it.
The scorecards are almost done – will roll out in the next month or so. Just lots and lots of data and research.
And, among other things,
there is THIS:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1227
exactly! HR 1227 is the only acceptable end to the federal WAR on cannabis and those who cultivate, dispense and use it. Where is NORML’s email telling us all to contact our representatives to support this language.
Yes, I’ve been posting H.R. 1227 everywhere I can.
Don’t forget H.R. 2020.
Done!
It is time for the truth to set cannabis free.
Clicked and sent.
Copy and Paste this amendment everywhere!

Trump and Sessions’ actions in rescinding the Cole memorandum have placed Republicans squarely in the racist-prohibitionist category on the issue marijuana reform for even the most jaded Russian-Fox “News” viewer. And Republicans are going to pay for it in midterms. Let’s use this momentum to get Democratic marijuana reforming Congressman elected, like http://www.betoforsenate.com Email their campaigns, pass them the link today!
