Please Make A Call On Monday!

Request From Peter McWilliams
Source: McWilliams.com
Hello, Please call your member of the House of Representatives on Monday (details on how to do this below) and ask him or her to vote AGAINST the Barr amendment which would hold up the vote on the Washington D.C. medical marijuana initiative for another year.
During a congressional hearing on June 16, 1999, Bob Barr (R-GA) suggested to McCaffrey that he urge the Justice Department to look into the possibility of "prosecuting [George] Soros under our racketeering (RICO) statutes" for the crime of funding efforts and initiatives "to circumvent our drug laws." Even McCaffrey appeared to be taken aback at Barr's suggestion, and indicated that such action would undoubtedly have "a chilling effect on free speech." Barr, however, replied that such an action "might have a chilling effect on the legalization movement, and I would consider that a good thing." For Barr's amendment to fail would be a major loss for Barr, and a major victory for medical marijuana, compassion, and the democratic process. Thank You.Enjoy, Peter McWilliamspeter mcwilliams.comhttp://www.mcwilliams.com/P.S. A phone call counts more than an e-mail.
