DEA Raids Again! Call Obama Now!

***What Part of ‘Change’ Does DEA not Understand?***
**For the Second Time, DEA Ignores Obama's Statements, Raids Four L.A.
Dispensaries**

Dear ASA Supporter,

They must think we’re just going to sit back and take it.

Yesterday, the DEA simultaneously raided four medical cannabis dispensing
collectives in Los Angeles. This is the second time, in as many weeks, that the
DEA has defied President Obama’s campaign pledges to not use federal
resources to undermine state medical cannabis laws.

Our community is in an uproar and we are not going to take this lying down! We
need you to ACT!.

The L.A. Times even published an article suggesting that maybe DEA hadn’t
gotten the memo that Bush is out?

The U.S. Senate just confirmed Attorney General Eric Holder to lead the
Department of Justice under the Obama Administration. We expect this to be the
FIRST and LAST of the DEA raids under Eric Holder’s leadership. President
Obama said he would stop the raids, and we aim to hold him to his word.

Enough is enough! Please make two short phone calls so that both the President
and the Attorney General know that people are sick and tired of DEA
interference and intimidation in medical cannabis states. Tell your federal
government that you will not tolerate wasteful spending by having DEA harass
innocent civilians with smash and grab tactics.

First call President Obama at (202) 456-1111, and then call Attorney General
Eric Holder at (202) 353-1555. Be sure to call during office hours, Monday –
Friday, 9am -5pm.

Use this script for both:

"Hi, my name is ___________. For the second time under President Obama, the DEA
conducted raids on multiple medical marijuana dispensaries in California,
despite the President’s pledge to end federal threats, intimidation, and
interference in states that have medical marijuana laws. Patients and providers
should not have to live in fear of the DEA. Please help us and stop these raids
now!."

This is our chance under President Obama. We have to get his attention, and we
need your help.

Sincerely,

George Pappas
