tales from the ditch

Yesterday, H.F. 292, the medical marijuana bill in Minnesota’s house of representatives, passed the last house committee (the finance committee) 17-6!  Now, the bill is up for voting in the house.  

Minnesotans: please call the Capitol and ask to speak with your Representative at 651-296-2146 or 800-657-3550.

If the bill passes in the house, it may be vetoed by Minnesota’s very own idiot prince Tim Pawlenty, so make sure to email the governor and urge him to support the legalization of medical marijuana.  Try to be polite when you email, but definitely let him know that he’s an amoral moron for opposing this bill.  But do it in polite language, because you catch more flies with honey.

See the Minnesota Independent story on HF 292.
