The US Supreme Court today in a 6-3 decision upheld the power of the federal
government to ban medical use of marijuana.  While this ruling does not alter
state laws protecting medical use of marijuana, it does mean that the federal
government -- unfortunately -- will still have the power to use its resources
to undermine the will of the voters or legislatures of those states.

I urge you to take a stand for states' rights by supporting the
Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment, to be considered this month in the debate over
the Science-State-Justice-Commerce Appropriations bill.  This amendment would
prohibit the federal government from arresting, raiding or prosecuting patients
who are abiding by state medical marijuana laws.

Please vote yes when the Hinchey-Rohrabacher amendment comes to the floor.
