The calls to Congress are working -- keep it up!
Friends:
The calls to Congress are working, and I've been getting great feedback from ASA activists. Will you help?
Step by step, Congress is learning about the Truth in Trials Act.Â
A good example is U.S. Representative Darrell Issa, who got a number of calls, emails, and letters from ASA activists in his Southern California district.  One such email came from ASA activist Joshua Lewis, who is Editor-in-Chief of the Medical Cannabis Journal.Â
Congressman Issa sent the following response to Joshua:
-----
From: Congressman Darrell Issa
Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 10:29 AM
To: Joshua Lewis
Subject: Re: your recent message
Dear Mr. Lewis:
Thank you for taking the time to write to me to request my co sponsorship of the Truth in Trials Act
I have forwarded your letter to my Legislative Assistant who will investigate the possibility of cosponsoring this bill.
Thank you again for taking the time to bring your interest in this bill to my attention.
Sincerely,
Darrell Issa
Member of Congress

Elected officials are starting to pay attention to what we are asking for. Medical marijuana patients need protection from federal prosecution. The Truth in Trials Act can help.
Will you call your Member of Congress?
Here's a reminder of the basic steps:1. Find out who your Rep is. Go to http://www.house.gov and type in your zip code in the upper left corner. If it asks for your full "Zip+4", just look at your last piece of junk mail.
2. Dial 202-224-3121. Ask the operator to transfer you to your Member of Congress.
3. Tell your Rep ... "I'm calling from ______ and I want you to cosponsor HR 3939, the Truth in Trials Act."
4. Reply to this email and tell me who you called.
Thanks!
