The Blitz is On for Marijuana Legalization!
Help pass the historic marijuana legalization bill AB390 through committee on January 12! Now is the time for Californians to contact their Assemblymembers.
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.

Today is the first time in U.S. history that a bill to tax and regulate marijuana ever made it to a state legislative committee, and it passed with a majority of the vote!
After hearing testimony from advocates — including Beverly Hills NORML90210.org— the Assembly Public Safety Committee voted 4-3 in support of A.B. 390, the landmark legislation authored by Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco).
California has a reputation for leading the nation in bold policy changes, and we've only seen the beginning of marijuana policy reform there.
We'll continue to work toward ending the war on responsible marijuana users in California and elsewhere, but we need your help. We're making history! Are you a member of Beverly Hills NORML ?
Respectfully,
Cheryl Shuman
