Title:
Illinois House could vote tomorrow on medical cannabis
Message:
Please contact
your representative now and urge him or her to vote YES!
There has been a steady stream of good news coming out of
Illinois regarding the potential for medical cannabis legislation to pass there
soon. A couple weeks back, the Republican Minority Leader, Tom Cross (R–Oswego),
switched
positions and announced his support for the bill. Over the weekend, the
Chicago Tribune editorialized
in favor of the bill, making it two-for-two
among the state’s largest papers. And today comes word that the Fraternal Order
of Police and Illinois Chamber of Commerce have also backed
off their opposition to the bill.
Most
importantly, we’ve received a number of indications that HB 30, Rep. Lou Lang’s
(D-Skokie) medical cannabis bill, could be called for a vote on the House floor
as soon as tomorrow.
Please call
or email
your state representative and tell him or her to vote “yes” on HB 30.
The
bill very nearly passed in January, and we’re expecting another close vote now.
Let’s make sure it’s in our favor this time. Please take just two minutes to call
your state representative and share your support for HB 30. If you only
have one minute, use our automated system to send an email. When you’re done, feel free to forward this on to your
friends, or post it on your favorite social networking sites.
Thanks for your support, and stay tuned for more.
