Washington, DC: NORML announces the launch of a new legislative tracking
program that will allow visitors to NORML's web site, and affiliated web
sites, to write their members of Congress, state legislators, governors
and local media representatives when a piece of marijuana legislation has
been introduced. The addition of Capwiz 6.0 will allow NORML and its
supporters to track both state and federal legislation, while providing
action alerts to notify supporters of pending bills in their state. The
site is available at Tokin' Politics.
The new program will allow NORML supporters and other friends of
marijuana law reform to apply pressure on their state elected officials
when a bill is introduced in their state. All a visitor to the site has
to do is enter their five-digit zip code or address, and the program will
identify their state and federal representatives, alert them of any
pending marijuana-related state or federal legislation, and provide
sample letters to e-mail to their legislators.
Letters from constituents can often be a deciding factor in how a
legislator will vote, making it imperative that marijuana law reform
advocates take full advantage of this opportunity.
NORML recognizes that a program of this magnitude is too costly for many
small organizations and individuals. Therefore NORML has provided an icon
to link directly to NORML's Capwiz site that can be inserted on any web
page free of charge. To insert this link on your site, simply choose an
icon at Web Sticker, and copy
the provided code onto your site.
There are currently marijuana-related bills pending in Arkansas,
Connecticut, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Texas,
Virginia, and Wyoming. Action alerts have already been posted on the web
site for these states.
