Have you written your representative about legalization?

Herb Fellow · 05-15-2008, 09:20 AM

I enjoy reading all the comments about legalization and rallies and became curious as to how many actually write their legislators concerning legalization.

Smokin Moose · 05-15-2008, 09:36 AM

I ring, write, and pester lol.

Boss · 05-15-2008, 10:24 AM

Yep. I think I annoy them actually. I am very surprised I have had no knocks at the door.

DaMagoMan · 05-15-2008, 10:31 AM

I use the Auto-send @ norml and mpp.

Once I get a bit more ...
hmmm, how shall I put this, spread out Better, Diversified even

I'll be Much more vocal.

Farm bill is gettin' voted on today.
And what a shame there ain't No Hemp in it!

James407 · 05-15-2008, 10:33 AM

I'm not registered to vote...

Which means they don't care what I have to say.

POTential · 05-15-2008, 10:39 AM

^ I also use the auto-send from MPP and Norml but only once or twice. I should do it more often and maybe write my own from time to time.

FreakNature · 05-15-2008, 01:36 PM

I write and stand amazed at the ignorant or closed minded responses, in most cases.

PurlDruid · 05-15-2008, 06:50 PM

They know me for the "Dearie Georgie's Pooridge Letters"
hahahahaha! I'm sure I'm on a list..somewhere deep in the white house, where it's
uh
dark

PurlDruid · 05-15-2008, 06:54 PM

I believe that the secret ingredient (for the paper the use) in our money is......

hemp, yep, hemp

Herb Fellow · 05-16-2008, 06:47 AM

I have often wondered if they could use letters as evidence to conduct an investigation into the writer.

Smoke Weed · 05-16-2008, 10:02 AM

I normally use the Auto-send @ NORMAL and MPP and write a letter every now and then. I try to keep abreast of the latest marijuana legislation actions by viewing 420Magazine and subscribing to Email alerts from MPP and NORML.

DaMagoMan · 05-16-2008, 10:17 AM

Cool, here's the response I got from Mine, sent to the house via snailMail:
-------------
Act to Remove Federal Penalties for Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adult

One of the reasons I gave in and came Home

DaMagoMan · 05-16-2008, 11:09 AM

"They vote No, They gotta' Go."

bharrist · 05-17-2008, 07:44 PM

i got this response from sen. kay bailey hutchinson of texas.
Dear Mr. Harrist:

Thank you for contacting me regarding efforts to legalize marijuana. I welcome your thoughts and comments on this issue.

As drug use continues to rise in our country, especially among our youth, we need to send a message that all illegal drug use is dangerous and will not be tolerated. I believe that we can win the war on drugs, but we will not do so by legalizing marijuana or encouraging its use for any purpose.

I appreciate hearing from you and hope you will not hesitate to keep in touch on any issue of concern to you.

Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
United States Senator
