It's quick and easy, and it lets your local representative know that we want to back Barney Franks bill.

[Mr. Clandestine]

I've seen a few different posts supporting this bill over the last few days. I signed the petition and had it sent off to my local representatives the day I read it. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

So, uh... did! :thumbsup:

[Toke'n]

done!

[fatsalad]

Not sure why I have to enter a zip+4. I live on a main street thats a highway (small one), won't accept my address though. I'll see what I can come up with as I DO want to let my congressman know where I stand on this!

Also, make sure you back the other bill put forth by Ron Paul which will stop the Federal government from prosecuting folks who have received prescriptions for medical marijuana at the state level.

[samostalan]

Done.

[Diffusion]

Already done, but I sent some written letters today. :)

[fatsalad]

Found a zip+4 code I could use and the system took it. So.....done!

You know though, wish it weren't an election year....I'm inclined to think it will be harder to push through. Still, this is definitely a step in the right direction...


"...Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use."

[Winks]

Just got done sending a link to everyone I know and sent my letter through Norml. I added how much I would rather spend tax dollars on fighting Meth in elementary schools then on MJ wars.

Don't just get it done, tell everyone you know to support the bill too!

Winks :thumbsup:

[justanotherbozo]

done and thanks for the post

[fatsalad]

Does anyone know when this goes to vote. I've been tuning into CSPAN a lot this week in hopes to catch the debate on the floor of the house. So far I haven't heard anything though....

[boaz]

^ thats a good question, i'd like to tune in, too. here is a link to the summary on Thomas. looks like they are all in committee with plans to roll out this summer, but when ??? i have yet to find out when the session ends. surely someone will tivo it and post a link if i miss the debate. :jointsmile:

looks like these two bill and possibly one amendment from Congressman Hinchey of NY to stop funding for the dea, probably attached to an appropriations bill, to vote on this summer. i think its interesting if you look at the last time congress voted on similar bill a bunch of the Noes went down in flames in the next election, likely because of their war vote, but still one less prohib. :thumbsup:

A BILL

To eliminate most Federal penalties for possession of marijuana for personal use, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults'.

SEC. 2. ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN MARIJUANA-RELATED PENALTIES.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no penalty may be imposed under an Act of Congress for the possession of marijuana for personal use, or for the not-for-profit transfer between adults of marijuana for personal use. For the purposes of this section, possession of 100 grams or less of marijuana shall be presumed to be for personal use, as shall the not-for-profit transfer of one ounce or less of marijuana, except that the civil penalty provided in section 405 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 844a) may be imposed for the public use of marijuana if the amount of the penalty does not exceed $100.

I sent the letter, told all my friends, family, posted a myspace bulletin, and posted on every single facebook wall I could find.

Spread the word, tell them to spread the word, and tell them to tell them to spread the word.

I just emailed the letter and send hard copies to both of my reps offices (DC and NY). :jointsmile:
