Governor Schwarzenegger: Stand Up For Patients' Rights!
Call on the Governor to Defend California's Medical Marijuana Laws!
Over the past several years, President Bush's Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has victimized patients and providers throughout California, undermining state law and stooping to new levels to shut down access for sick and dying patients in California. We must put an end to the attack on patients and providers!
Americans for Safe Access (ASA) has launched a pressure campaign, calling on Governor Schwarzenegger to "Stand Up for Patients' Rights: Defend California's Medical Marijuana Laws."
We are calling on Governor Schwarzenegger to defend the rights of medical cannabis patients and caregivers and the will of the voters in California by standing up to the Bush Administration. We are urging him to take a stand against federal medical cannabis enforcement and to support efforts to harmonize federal law with the compassionate laws of California and the eleven other states that allow medical cannabis use.
ASA's new campaign consists of statewide call in days, legislative visits from constituents and lobbyists, and sign-on letters from key public officials and organizations. This pressure will build up to a mass mobilization on Thursday, October 11th, to Governor Schwarzenegger's office in Los Angeles.
The only way this campaign will be successful is if people like you take action to protect California's patients, providers, and medical marijuana laws! Please read on for ways to get involved.
