I'll keep this short, because Connecticut patients need your help right now.

Last week, the Connecticut Compassionate Use Bill, HB 6715, passed the House of Representatives on a vote of 89 - 58. The bill is now headed to the Senate for a full vote--and we'll need your help to get it passed.

Legislators are telling us that they've received hundreds of faxes and phone calls--but we can't let up now! The Senate needs to hear from you. Please send a message to your Senator right now!

Please help get HB 6715, Compassionate Use, through the State Senate: Here are three things you can do in three minutes to push HB 6715 to passage.

1. Send a fax to your State Senator;

2. After faxing, take two minutes to call your Senator and tell him or her you support HB 6715, Compassionate Use. Calls make a big impression on legislators.

You can call the House Clerk's Office at (860) 240-0400 and then tell the person who answers the phone what district you live in in order to be connected to your Senator. Look up your district here.

3. Forward this alert to five people you know in Connecticut, and ask them to take action.

Also, join us tomorrow, May 30, 2007, at the Capitol in Hartford at a Racial Justice Day Rally to support medical marijuana. The rally will take place at the Capitol Building, 210 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106. The Rally will take place from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. on the 1st floor, in the Atrium. Please join us if you can make it!

We're almost at the finish line; please take action today so that Compassionate Use finally passes in Connecticut.

Thanks for all you do.
