Received this e-mail today from the Drug Policy Alliance:
Your support convinced the U.S. House to pass an amendment that would stop funding the Drug Enforcement Administration’s aggressive interference in medical marijuana states. And now we’re counting on you to get it through the U.S. Senate, where a vote could happen as early as this week.
Time is running out: pressure your Senators to cut off funding for the DEA’s assault on medical marijuana states.

We’ve been working around the clock to secure allies in Congress and I’m thrilled to announce that we’re working with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) to ensure the Senate follows the House’s lead to end the federal assault on medical marijuana. But our momentum has also fueled our opposition’s efforts to block our progress.
Pro-drug war groups are spreading outright lies to stop the Senate from moving forward. And the DEA and rogue federal prosecutors will do anything to continue their aggressive campaign of intimidation and interference against the states that have chosen to regulate medical marijuana.
We have an uphill battle ahead of us, with major obstacles and powerful opponents. Take action now and demand that your Senators stop funding federal interference in states with medical marijuana laws.

Supporters like you made this moment possible. Now it’s time for us to secure support to pass legislation in the U.S. Senate that will finally ban the DEA from using our taxpayer money to interfere with state-level medical marijuana laws. We are on the verge of putting an end to the DEA’s meddling. But that will only happen if the Senate acts.
You can force the Senate to protect medical marijuana from federal interference. Write your Senators today and take advantage of this unprecedented moment to score our first major marijuana law reform in Congress.
