Call to Action for medical marijuana patients following the Supreme Court

Hello Everyone:

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon issue its landmark ruling on the "Ashcroft
v. Raich" case. Please join ASA, drug policy groups, and medical marijuana
supporters across the country by participating in actions at your local
Congressional offices.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

"If the Supreme Court rules against medical marijuana patients, we'll
need you to immediately swing into action to lobby Congress to end the
federal government's attacks on medical marijuana patients and
caregivers.

To be specific, we need you to organize or attend a protest outside of
your U.S. representative's local district office precisely two days
after the decision is announced -- to urge your U.S. representative to
vote for the Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment to the Justice
Department's spending bill, in order to prevent the DEA from spending
any money to arrest medical marijuana patients or providers who are
acting legally under state law.

Please visit http://www.RaichAction.org , where you can:
* find out where your U.S. representative's local district offices are
located;
* print flyers to hand out at the demonstration; and
* print talking points about the medical marijuana amendment.

Please e-mail notify [at] raichaction.org if you want to organize or attend
a demonstration in your area. (Please be sure to tell us the exact
location where you will hold your demonstration, including city and
state.) We will send an alert the day of the decision notifying you
that it's time to act, with the demonstration taking place two days
later." - MPP

Remember this case means everything if we win and changes nothing if we
lose. State laws will remain the same but we will have to work even harder
this year to pass the Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment to stop federal attacks
on medical marijuana patients!

Hoping for the best!
