Title:
R.I.: VERY IMPORTANT -- we need your help
Message:
Can you spare just
one minute of your time to help replace the current criminal penalty for
possession of up to an ounce of marijuana with a simple civil violation? Your
voice is so very important at this time, so make
sure it’s heard!
Rhode Island’s marijuana decriminalization bill is still
pending in Rhode Island legislative committees, and time is running out. It’s
essential that leadership give this bill a vote by week’s end. Please email leadership in
both the House and Senate today and ask them to make sure marijuana decriminalization gets scheduled for
a committee vote soon.
We have a small email list in Rhode Island and need you to
also urge your friends and family in Rhode Island to contact
leadership and to post this link to your social media sites.
Decriminalizing marijuana will save the state millions of
dollars and allow law enforcement to focus on crimes of violence and against
property. The
proposal has been endorsed by the Providence Journal. Please, email the legislative leaders today, and ask others to act. We cannot stress enough how important your
help is.
