ACTION ALERT: Help New Mexico Pass a Medical Marijuana Law

    Earlier this week we did a tremendously successful press conference on the introduction of our medical marijuana legislation, Senate Bill 795. The speakers, including state senators and patient advocates, were so compelling that the story was covered by every major newspaper and television network in the state! Now that the spotlight is on this bill, it's time to turn up the heat to make sure it passes. That's where you can have a huge impact: please get in touch with your senator and representative to let them know you support SB 795. Legislators realize that most people do not take the time to write or call, so for every person who takes that extra step, they know there are hundreds more who support the bill as well.

    Here's how you can speak up for the majority of New Mexicans who support medical marijuana:

    1) Call or email Senator Cisco McSorley and the other co-sponsors of the bill and thank them for sponsoring SB 795.



    2) Find out who your senator and representative are and take a few minutes from your day to write a letter or send an email urging them to support the bill.

    Insider Alert: Right now we especially need people who live in the following counties to make a special outreach to their legislators: Dona Ana, Chavez, Curry, De Baca, Roosevelt, Eddy, Lea, Sandoval, San Juan, Valencia, and also the South Valley in Albuquerque. If you live in one of these areas, please write a letter and call. Talk to your friends and ask them to get involved. Your personal efforts will make the difference.

    3) If you have more time to spare, we need volunteer citizen lobbyists, and volunteers at the office. If you are a patient, family member, or advocate, please join our team. Call me at (505)-983-3277 and we'll get you involved.

    For tips on talking to your legislators, fact sheets, and campaign updates, check out our website at www.improvenewmexico.org You'll find all the tools you need to be an effective advocate.

    Thank you for your commitment to improving the lives of New Mexicans!

    Sincerely,
