By the time you read this,
there is a good chance that the US Supreme Court will have spoken on Raich
v. Ashcroft, a major court challenge by medical marijuana patients Angel
Raich and Diane Monson to the constitutionality of federal prohibition
of medical marijuana use. The Court heard oral arguments on the case
last December. (Click here
and here
for background.)
Last summer, Congress voted
for the second time on an amendment that would have forbid the Dept. of
Justice from using its resources to block state medical marijuana laws.
DRCNet posted a tabulation of the votes online for our readers to find
out whether their own Reps voted for or against medical marijuana.
That information is still accessible and can be found online here
-- click on the HTML, PDF, Excel or delimited text links. If your
Rep. is still in Congress this session, you'll be able to see how he or
she stands on the issue. Visit the House
of Representatives web site and use the "Find Your Representative"
tool if you're not sure who represents you in Congress.
Last but not least, visit
the Angel Justice web site to
learn much more about the Raich/Monson saga.
