Last week DRCNet wrote briefly
about the upcoming Cheryl Miller Memorial Project's DC vigil, demonstration
and lobby day, less than three weeks from now on September 22 and 23 (http://www.cheryldcmemorial.org).
There is one activity on the agenda for those who can't make it to Washington,
a Congressional "phone slam" in support of H.R. 2233, the States Rights
to Medical Marijuana Act. Your phone calls on September 23 will coincide
with a day of Capitol Hill lobbying by attendees at the Memorial Project,
and will ensure those visits are taken very seriously.
We hope that DRCNet members
will make an extra strong showing of participation in the phone slam, and
we have a way to make it easy to do so: Visit https://stopthedrugwar.org/medicalmarijuana/
right now to send an e-mail to your US Rep., your two Senators, and the
President (if you haven't done so already), and our system will also keep
a record of your Congressional District. Then, on the morning of
the 23rd, we will send you a reminder about the phone slam, and the text
of the message you receive will include the names and office phone numbers
of your Rep. and your Senators -- you won't even have to look them up or
go through the Congressional Switchboard.
