Dear NORML Supporter:

Republicans Ron Paul (TX) and Dana Rohrbacher (CA) and Democrats Barney
Frank (MA) and Sam Farr (CA), have reintroduced the States' Rights to
Medical Marijuana Act. This bill, which will be assigned a bill number
within a day or so, has been introduced in each of the last several
sessions of Congress, and has gained increased support and co-sponsorship
each time around.

This bill would reschedule marijuana under federal law so those states
that wish to legalize the medical use of marijuana under state law could
do so without federal interference. If this bill were approved by
Congress, federal prosecution of patients who qualify for medical use
under state law would end, and states could actually provide medical
marijuana to patients who qualify under state law.

While the States' Rights to Medical Marijuana Act has drawn more and more
co-sponsors each year, it has failed to receive a hearing in committee.
Our hope is that this year the bill will finally receive a fair hearing,
and be voted out of committee. However, this will not happen unless
members of Congress hear from their constituents in support of this
legislation. We are asking every NORML supporter to contact their
Congressman and urge their full support for the States' Rights to Medical
Marijuana Act.

Please take two minutes to send a pre-written letter to your Member of
Congress, asking them to co-sponsor and support the States' Rights to
Medical Marijuana Act by visiting:

Thank you for your time and support.

Sincerely,


Kris Krane
Associate Director
