Urge Sen. Jim Jordan to schedule a medical marijuana hearing
Published: June 13, 2005
In February, Sen. Robert Hagan (D-Youngstown) introduced a medical marijuana bill, S.B. 74, which was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Criminal Justice. Unfortunately, S.B. 74 has stalled in committee because Sen. Jim Jordan (R-Urbana)—the committee chairman—has delayed a hearing for the bill. We need you to speak out and get Sen. Jordan to call a hearing on S.B. 74.
Please do two quick things to make this happen.
Please urge Sen. Jordan to schedule S.B. 74 for a hearing. Sen. Jordan has the authority to give the bill the attention it deserves, but you have the power to influence him to act. Please urge Sen. Jordan's fellow committee members to encourage him to schedule a hearing.
Please remember to be polite and courteous when contacting legislators. We want to inspire them, not alienate them.
When Sen. Hagan first introduced S.B. 74—which would protect medical marijuana patients from criminal penalties—the bill was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Criminal Justice. A committee hearing was scheduled for March 23; sadly, Sen. Jordan decided to postpone the hearing until an unspecified date. Please urge him to act now.
If you have read this far and have not contacted Sen. Jordan yet, please click here to do so now. Then, click here to contact his fellow committee members.
With your help, Ohio could become the 11th state to recognize that seriously ill patients should not be subjected to prosecution simply for reducing their suffering with medical marijuana.
