Call House Agriculture Committee This Week on Medical Marijuana Bill

From the Drug Policy Alliance Network:
Our medical marijuana bill needs your help! Your calls this week are crucial to advancing the legislation as it faces its ultimate challenge: House approval. Last year the bill was tabled by the House Agriculture and Water Resources Committee after an intense hearing -- and now it is before that committee again. The delays caused by this committee referral last year ultimately killed the 2006 bill. We can't let that happen again!

You can help by calling the House Agriculture and Water Resources Committee and encouraging the members to support SB 238 (the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act) in committee.

Committee members act on behalf of all of us when they vote on bills in committee, so everyone can call each member listed below - regardless of whose district you live in. However, if you live in one of the districts below, please be sure to let the office know that when you call.

House Agriculture and Water Resources Committee:

Representative Andy Nuñez, Chair
District 36, (505) 986-4423

Representative Ray Begaye, Vice Chair
District 4, (505) 986-4436

Representative Joseph Cervantes, Member
