i seent it :hump:
I tried twice to send it via NORML, and decided I'd take the bull by the horns instead. My rep is Dan Lungren (motherfucker, but that's another issue). I went to his website, and guess what! If you don't subscribe to get "updates" from him, you can't send the damned email! So, I subscribed, and have sent the following, which is pretty much c&p'd from NORML's letter, and then I added my own bit at the bottom in bold:
Seamaiden said:
I'm writing today to urge your support for H.R. 5843, an “Act to Remove Federal Penalties for Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults,” which seeks to eliminate federal penalties for the possession and non-for-profit distribution of small amounts of cannabis.

Specifically, the bill would eliminate federal penalties prohibiting the personal use and possession of up to 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) of marijuana, and for the not-for-profit transfers of up to one ounce of cannabis. This common sense change will ensure that adults who possess small quantities of cannabis for their own personal use will no longer be subject to arrest or prosecution, or the emotional, social, and financial hardships that follow.

Otherwise law-abiding citizens who use marijuana responsibly are not part of the crime problem, and we must stop treating them like criminals. In 2006, the last year for which national data is available, law enforcement arrested over 829,000 persons for marijuana violations – the highest annual total ever recorded. Of those arrested, approximately 90 percent were charged with minor marijuana possession only.

Seldom emphasized penalties associated with a minor marijuana conviction include probation and mandatory drug testing, loss of employment, loss of child custody, removal from subsidized housing, asset forfeiture, loss of student aid, loss of voting privileges, loss of adoption rights, and the loss of certain federal welfare benefits such as food stamps. Thousands of Americans suffer such sanctions every day – at a rate of one person every 38 seconds. Surely, our limited law enforcement resources would be better served targeting more serious and violent crimes.

On this latter point, most Americans agree. Marijuana decriminalization currently enjoys support from the majority of Americans. According to a CNN/Time Magazine poll, 76% of US citizens favor a fine over criminal penalties for the possession of marijuana. In fact, twelve states – representing one third of the population of the United States – have already enacted various forms of marijuana decriminalization, eliminating criminal sanctions for cannabis possession. Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts are currently considering similar options.

Once again, I urge you to support the passage of H.R. 5843. It is a common sense approach that will refocus law enforcement resources on fighting violent and more serious crimes. Please support H.R. 5843 and stop arresting responsible adult marijuana consumers.

I would like to remind you that the citizens of our beautiful State of California have already told our legislators that we want to at least allow those who suffer illness or injury and who can be helped via legal consumption of marijuana to be allowed to do so. Instead, our resources, police, and court facilities are being misused and misappropriated by federal authorities with complete disregard for the wishes of the people of California. This must stop and you are in a position to make it possible.

Sincerely,
Seamaiden

No SHIT! :lol: Maybe we should just pay him a visit, eh? I'll put on my full leathers and hop on my little girly sled, hook up with you and your friends, and we'll all take a little run down to his office there, eh? ;)

It's funny how much this thread changed in a couple of hours. When I was on last we were talking about how much stuff we could fit up our ass. Now, it's some serious talk.. I was thinking about joining NORML, but i'm worried about my name being on mailing list and in some file somwhere. You never know who reads that stuff. I just don't want my address associated with Marijuana in anyway right now. I mean who is to say that in 5 years it won't be different, but for now I'm just to nervous about it.

My boyfriend and I do it together.

We should pm, then. I'm in the Mother Lode, takes me a bit over an hour to hit Sacto, there is NO WAY I could do the D.C. with my stock seat, though.. :shock: :cry: :lol: (Not kidding about the stocker, it SUCKS.) I don't know many people up here, so I don't know if there's anyone who would make the trip with me, but I do know some folks in Orangevale who are almost always down with the demonstration action. :) I think they're probably pretty close to his office. Just would have to get the timing right is all (we kinda want him to be there, yeah?). One thing, we're leaving the country on the 4th for 2.5 weeks.
