Title:
NY patients can't wait: Urge Senator Diaz to commit to voting for S. 8427
Message:
It all comes down to this.
The New York legislature will likely return for special session on
Monday, November 29, and give us one more chance to pass medical marijuana
legislation before the year is up. We think we may have 31 of the 32 votes we
need to pass, and your senator, Senator Rev. Ruben Diaz, Sr., remains undecided
about how he will vote. We need his vote to make sure that seriously ill New
Yorkers will no longer have to live in fear of arrest for using the medicine
they need.
Please e-mail Senator Diaz and call him TODAY to ask
him to publicly come out in support of S. 8427, and to vote for it in the
special session.
Do not let this last opportunity to help seriously ill patients slip
away. Please also urge other Bronx residents to act
now before it is too late. Forward
this message to at least 10 New Yorkers, post the link to your social networking sites ( http://www.mpp.org/states/new-york/alerts/ny-patients-cant-wait-urge.html ), and otherwise
spread the word. We must not let another year go by with patients
criminalized for treating their illnesses.
Thank you for your
support and compassion.
