Urge Congress To Protect Patients' Rights!
I recently was researching the policy stances of Democrat vs. Republican presidential candidates (Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana). I was struck that every Democrat candidate either says they support stopping the raids or say they would look more into the issue, whereas, not so surprisingly, Republican candidates either say "Weed is the Antichrist" or don't consider it an important issue, except for Ron Paul of course. With the unity of the Democrats, I'm sniffing that stopping the raids is possibly a platform issue of the DNC. I predicted in the 2004 election it was politically impossible for a Democrat to get elected because of national security issues and now, especially with the midterm rebellion, I predict it's politically impossible for a Republican to get elected in 2008.
I remember hearing about this bill the last time it made its way through Congress and how for the past few years, every year it gets more votes, if I remember correctly. It's impossible to say with certainty but it certainly seems plausible that if a Democrat is elected that the bill may have a viable chance of success.

I've already spoken to my legislators about this amendment
