Rep Power: 14030     | A national call to act. We have two Senators just like the rest of the states. John Tester, http://www.testerforsenate.com/testertime/contact-jon and Max Baucus, http://baucus.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm NATIONAL ACTION ALERT Demand Research: Senate Drop-In Days - February 12th and 13th Set up meetings with your U.S. Senators' local district offices on February the 12th and/or 13th to talk about the research sign-on letter Senators Kennedy and Kerry are circulating to enable FDA-approved medical marijuana research. Visit www.Senate.gov for contact information for your local district office. Ask to schedule a meeting to discuss medical marijuana research. Your Senator's staff may not be able to meet with you on the 12th or 13th and that is fine, just be sure to schedule a meeting for the soonest available date. Look for tips on citizen lobbying in the February organizer packets. When meeting with your Senators' offices please bring with you the following materials, which can be found at: www.AmericansforSafeAccess.org/ResearchCampaign. 1. Research/Gridlock campaign fact sheet 2. The Kennedy/Kerry letter of support 3. University of MA's letter of support What to Ask: Please support medical cannabis research by co-signing the Kennedy/Kerry letter to Acting DEA Administrator, Michele Leonhart, urging her agency to follow the recommendation of Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen Bittner and grant a license to Prof. Lyle Craker of UMass Amherst to grow marijuana exclusively for federally-approved research. To join the letter, contact ASA's Director of Government Affairs, Caren Woodson at (202) 857-4272. Follow Up: At your meeting or drop-in, be sure to schedule a follow up meeting to discuss other pressing national medical cannabis issues. After you take action, be sure to contact Sonnet@AmericansforSafeAccess.org to let us know how it went! If you have questions about scheduling meetings with your senators' offices, contact Sonnet@AmericansforSafeAccess.org or call (510) 251-1856 ext. 321. |

Rep Power: 14030 | Re: A national call to act. It went really well in my opinion. We met with his aide on health matters in the Missoula office. The person we met with seemed very open to all of our requests. The one thing that was indicated to us was that by generating phone calls, emails, and visits or letters on this issue, it will become a higher priority. What we are asking for is if he will sign on to the Congessional sign-on letter to the Dea head to allow marijuana be allowed to be used in medical research. Here are his offices in Montana: Billings Granite Tower 222 N 32nd St, Suite 102 Billings, MT 59101 Phone: (406) 252-0550 Fax: (406) 252-7768 Bozeman 211 Haggerty Lane Bozeman, MT 59715 Phone: (406) 586-4450 Fax: (406) 586-7647 Butte Silver Bow Center 125 W Granite, Suite 200 Butte, MT 59701 Phone: (406) 723-3277 Fax: (406) 782-4717 Glendive 122 W Towne Glendive, MT 59330 Phone: (406) 365-2391 Fax: (406) 365-8836 Great Falls 119 1st Avenue North, Suite 102 Great Falls, MT 59401 Phone: (406) 452-9585 Fax: (406) 452-9586 Helena Capital One Center 208 N Montana Ave, Suite 202 Helena, MT 59601 Phone: (406) 449-5401 Fax: (406) 449-5462 Kalispell 19 Second Street East, Suite E Kalispell, MT 59901 Phone: (406) 257-3360 Fax: (406) 257-3974 Missoula 130 W Front Street Missoula, MT 59802 Phone: (406) 728-3003 Fax: (406) 728-2193 |
