Title:
Idaho lawmakers tone deaf to their constituents
Message:
Senate Concurrent Resolution 112 (PDF) is set for a final vote on the House floor. Already approved by the Senate, if passed it would officially proclaim that the current Idaho Legislature opposes marijuana legalization “for any purpose.” What a curious way to spend their time and your tax dollars considering a February 2011 poll found that nearly three quarters of Idahoans favor allowing “terminally and seriously ill patients to use and purchase marijuana for medical purposes.” Urge your representative to stop wasting your money on uncaring resolutions.
The good news is – even if passed – this resolution can’t stop the will of the people from prevailing. In fact, the group Compassionate Idaho has just released a new petition to place a medical marijuana initiative on the November 2014 ballot! If they gather enough signatures by April of next year, the voters will be able to teach their lawmakers a thing or two about compassion.
Send an email to your representative asking him or her to lead with compassion, not cruelty. Then, visit Compassionate Idaho to find out how you can help get a medical marijuana question on the 2014 ballot.
