"It shouldn't be a crime to treat my pain"

Earlier today, MPP announced the launch of a TV ad campaign in New Hampshire.  The ad features Sandy Drew, a retired nurse and multiple sclerosis sufferer, and calls on Gov. John Lynch (D) to sign the medical marijuana bill, HB 648.

The Senate passed the bill yesterday by a 14-10 vote. It now heads back to the House (which easily passed it last month) to accept the minor changes the Senate made to the bill. It then goes to Gov. Lynch, who can either sign it, veto it, or let it become law without his signature.

The ad is airing on WMUR and major cable stations including CNN, Fox, and MSNBC throughout the state. You can watch Sandy's ad now:

Gov. Lynch has expressed concerns about the bill, but has not said what he will do once the bill reaches his desk. Please join with the courageous patients like Sandy and urge Gov. Lynch to sign the medical marijuana bill. Then ask everyone you know in New Hampshire to do so, too.

Please help us keep the pressure on Gov. Lynch by making a donation today. Thank you for supporting MPP and our New Hampshire allies.
