CA Medical patients need your help! (A.B. 2743 in action)

Copy and paste from MPP:

Today, MPP-sponsored legislation that would direct California's state and local law enforcement agencies not to assist in federal raids on medical marijuana patients and their caregivers made significant progress in the state legislature. In a 9-7 vote, the Committee on Appropriations approved A.B. 2743, sending it to the floor for a final vote of the entire state Assembly.

Please help us pass this important bill by e-mailing your state Assembly member today.

Taking action is easy. Just visit MPP's action page, enter your information, and send an e-mail to your legislator. If you are a patient or medical professional, please modify the message to include that information.

If approved, A.B. 2743 — authored by Assembly Member Lori Saldaña (D-San Diego) — will dramatically improve protections for California's medical marijuana patients and providers.

Most federal raids on California's medical marijuana facilities rely on significant help from local law enforcement agencies; in many cases, local agents have even asked federal agents to raid patients and providers. A.B. 2743 will create a policy of respecting the state's protections for medical marijuana patients and their providers.

Passage of this landmark bill will not be possible without your participation. Making contact with state policy-makers is one of the most effective ways to help change the laws.

Thank you for taking action to support our state's right to self-determination and safe access to medical marijuana for seriously ill and injured patients.
