HHS Alert: Collect Signatures to Support Rescheduling Marijuana!

by Americans for Safe Access

We need petitions mailed to us by *Monday, October 17th* or faxed to us
no later than *Friday, October 21st*.
October 26th is quickly approaching, and ASA activists have been busy
collecting signatures for our petition to reschedule marijuana!

On the 26th, activists will deliver thousands of signed petitions to the
Department of Health and Human Services in Washington DC. Even if you
cannot join us in DC or at one of the regional actions, we need your
help collecting petitions. We need to increase the pressure on HHS and
convince them to listen to the evidence and acknowledge the medicinal
value of marijuana!

We need petitions mailed to us by *Monday, October 17th* or faxed to us
no later than *Friday, October 21st*.
