The Blitz is On for Marijuana Legalization!

The California legislature will be hearing Tom Ammiano’s landmark legalization bill AB 390 on January 12. California NORML are asking all California activists to start the new year by contacting their Assembly members in support of AB 390.

Californians can send e-mails to their Assembly members via NORML’s CapWiz at http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=12758896&type=ST&show_alert=. However, it is much more powerful if people call (or FAX) the legislature in person.

We are targeting members of two committees that will hear the bill next Tuesday. The first is the Public Safety Committee, chaired by Tom Ammiano. If it gets out of that committee, it will go on to the Health Committee the same day. A flyer with a description of the bill and all key committee members can be found at http://www.canorml.org/AB390actnow.pdf.

We are especially targeting the Public Safety Committee, key members of which are listed below, along with Speaker Perez and Health Committee Chairman Dave Jones.

Chapters with members in these areas are encouraged to call into their assembly members at the numbers posted below.

YES WE CANNABIS! LET’S BLITZ SACRAMENTO!
