HR 1866 - "Industrial Hemp Farming Act"

[surf]

response from my representative:

Thank you for contacting me to share your views on the Industrial Hemp Farming Act. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this issue and welcome the opportunity to respond.

As you know, Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) introduced the Industrial Hemp Farming Act (H.R. 1866) on April 2, 2009. This bill would exclude industrial hemp from the definition of "marijuana," and grants states authority to license and regulate the commercial production of hemp as an industrial and agricultural commodity. H.R. 1866 was referred to the House Committees on Energy and Commerce and the Judiciary. Should this legislation reach the House floor for a vote, I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to get in touch with me. Your interest and input are valued and I hope to hear from you in the future regarding other matters of importance. I encourage you to visit my website and sign up for my monthly e-newsletter at http://www.house.gov/reichert/ to learn more about other issues impacting the 8th Congressional District and our nation.

Sincerely,

David G. Reichert
Member of Congress

= nay vote.

Edit: Well look what we have here... I just checked this Reichert guy out on opencongress.org (which, btw, everyone should create an account there). The "least often votes with" section of his page shows none other than our very own Dr. Ron Paul.

That's awesome Gunny! BTW, why does your sig say "Dont read on me?"

LOL, that's because the flag wasn't exactly flat when I photographed it. you can actually see the "T" to the left of the "R," it's just a little horizontally compressed...

Keep in mind that many of the responses about S. 604 and HR 1207 started out by saying that, but the representatives, after having countless letters/calls/emails/etc. sent to them about it, changed their votes. We've got to keep at it!

Bump for more letters

A thousand registered forum members. And I don't think the views are unique.

Put it on a sign and go to a 9/12 rally.

All everyone has to do is email their representative. All of these money bombs get tons of support and are asking people for their money. All this thread is requesting is three or four minutes of time.

If we translate what we did on 1207 into this bill, it will go far better. Reason being, Liberals LIKE this bill. Barney Frank is a co-sponsor. It's something that Neo-Cons hate because they're tough on "drug users," but Liberals love.

There are a lot of lurkers, perhaps some of the views were theirs?

 

[Pennsylvania]

The more views the better, even if it is only repeat/registered members. I'd love to see hemp legalization become one of the chief grassroots efforts within the freedom living sphere.

While in prison Andy sends mail to the "powers that be" every week to get funds to build a prison library. Once they FINALLY agree after several years to send some money to try and get him to shut up, he starts sending two a week.

I may be showing a lack of intelligence here, but that one may have very well gone over my head.

He responded to one... you have to up the game until he responds to another... then up it yet again until he starts actually listening.
