Dear Tim Redfern:

Yesterday, MPP's Aaron Houston testified before Congress, urging lawmakers to rein in the DEA. You can read his testimony (posted on the House Appropriations Committee's Web site) here, or watch him discuss it below.

Each year, Congress passes a spending bill that funds the Justice Department, including the DEA. At yesterday's hearing about next year's budget, MPP asked Congress to tell the DEA to:

MPP was the only reform organization to provide expert testimony at the hearing yesterday. In fact, MPP is the only marijuana policy reform organization with a full-time lobbyist on Capitol Hill. Would you please support this important work by making a contribution today? We appreciate anything you can give.

Thank you,

Rob Kampia
Executive Director
Marijuana Policy Project
Washington, D.C.

P.S. As I've mentioned in previous alerts, a major philanthropist has committed to match the first $2.35 million that MPP can raise from the rest of the planet in 2009. This means that your donation today will be doubled.

P.P.S. You can opt out of receiving fundraising mentions in the e-mail alerts I send you in 2009 by visiting http://www.mpp.org/2009optoutpreference at your convenience.

Hasn't this nonsense gone on long enough?!

With the current progressive mood in America regarding Marijuana,  we have the best chance ever to get it legalised,  but not if we sit silent,  and allow other people to seize the day instead of ourselves.

Now is the time,  and today is the day,  to get on the phone,  call your state and federal legislators,  and tell them that We The People demand the legalisation of Marijuana NOW!

(PS:  I would be most appreciative if someone could tell me how to post a video.  The one above doesn't work,  as I suppose you know!.....many thanks!)

Wishing you all Peace & Love,   

Tim  .......and Miss Bibbs
