I lifted this from another website...it looks to be very important to us:
We have an URGENT ALERT for all of the patients here in Washington!
The legislature is getting ready to vote on Senate Bill 6265. This bill will be
a disaster for patients in Washington State. This bill calls for a state run patient
registry. Currently only sex offenders are required to register with the state.
Everyone in law enforcement will have access to your information. To make
matters worse, patients will be forced to pay for all of the costs associated with
the registry. This will amount to millions of dollars over the next two years!
The bill will also allow every city, town and county to make up their own
medical cannabis regulations.
This includes limiting the number of plants and the
amount of medication you can possess. We predict that most cities will ban
collectives and non-profit cooperatives altogether. This will mean that Seattle will
be the only city where you can get medication and assure that no patient in
Eastern Washington will have safe access to medication.
If passed, this bill will gut medical cannabis law here in Washington.
We are asking ALL patients to call the Washington State Legislative Hotline at:
1-800-562-6000
Just tell the operator that youre a medical cannabis patient and that you
absolutely oppose Senate Bill 6265!
You should also call your two State Representatives and your state
Senator. If you dont know who they are, you can go to this site and put in your
address and it will look them up for you and give you their phone numbers in
Olympia:
http://apps.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/Default.aspx
Youve probably never done this before and you may be a little nervous
about what to say, but its really very simple. The person answering the phone is
just there to pass along your message to your legislator. They will ask you for
you address to determine that your message gets to the right representatives.
Then all you need to tell them is that youre a medical cannabis patient and tell
them that you oppose Senate Bill 6265. They will report all these calls and,
believe it or not, this really does effect how they vote on a bill. Your call really
can make a difference by simply making the calls!
Please pass this along to all of your friends and relatives as well! We need all
the support we can get.
This is URGENT!
Please call today.
Youll be very sorry if you do nothing and this bill is passed simply
because patients dont take action to stop it.
