If the law takes effect, then seriously ill people in the nation's capital who use medical marijuana to relieve their suffering will continue to face six months in jail. Even worse will be the precedent of Congress overturning a free election. The Libertarian Party is collaborating with other organizations to stop this legislation, so we are linking to the web site of our friends at the Marijuana Policy Project. But please do not delay. The vote could come at any time.
Congressmen receive very few letters on drug-related legislation.
If you and every subscriber to the Libertarian Party Announcements list visits the petition site just once, then each Congressional office will hear from more constituents on this legislation than on almost any other bill currently pending. Changing just two or three votes through our lobbying effort could easily make the difference in a close vote.
