Medical Marijuana Closer in New Jersey

Dear Supporter,

Your faxes, emails and calls are working! I am pleased to report that our medical marijuana legislation has gained three new sponsors in the Senate, in addition to recent new sponsors in the Assembly, bringing us closer to becoming the 13th state to legalize medical marijuana. Sen. Sandra B. Cunningham, Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak, and Sen. Jim Whelan (who sits on the Health Committee, where the bill will initially be heard), have all signed on. With Sen. Nicholas P. Scutari as the prime sponsor in the Senate, these new additions make for a total of four sponsors in the Senate and seven in the Assembly!

As we build on this momentum, it is important to urge your local representatives and the members of the Assembly and Senate health committees to commit to the compassionate, common sense response to suffering by sponsoring A804 / S119. The more sponsors we have on this legislation, the better chance we have of making medical marijuana a reality in New Jersey. If you haven't taken action yet, now is a great time.

If you did take action, thank you! You can have an even bigger impact by forwarding this message on to friends and family and asking them to take your lead.

When you take action, your message will automatically be sent to the two Assembly members and one Senator who represent the district where you reside, in addition to the members of the Assembly and Senate health committees that are key in moving this important legislation forward.

Thank you for all you do!

Sincerely,

Roseanne Scotti
