Oregon's Medical Marijuana Law Under Attack!
Right-wing Republican Kevin Mannix has filed an initiative that would abolish Oregon's Medical Marijuana Program, instantly making criminals of over 16,000 sick Oregon patients. Mannix, an insurance defense attorney and former chairperson of Oregon's Republican Party, even plans a tax-payer-funded-gift to the pharmaceutical industry by requiring the state of Oregon to purchase less-effective perscription drugs, like Marinol, for Oregon's medical marijuana patients, who he intends to treat like criminals.
This terrible initiative has national implications because if the right-wing Republicans, insurance companies, and Big Pharma manage to dismantle the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, they will be emboldened to kill the programs of all of the other medical marijuana states. This is an important time for our movement and all of us, especially sick patients, need us to move forward, not back to a time where grandmothers stricken with glaucoma and cancer are treated as drug dealers.
Voter Power intends to stop this right-wing, authoritarian Republican, but we need your help. Please join Voter Power and help us stop this attack on Oregon's sick patients.
