Please click here for our easy call script.
It's especially important to call the members of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary as they will be holding a hearing on the nonination of Michele Leonhart on Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at 2:30 PM.
On July 23, 2010 Vote Hemp sent a letter to Senator Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary opposing her nomination and urging members of the committee to vote against her confirmation. We ask that you please call now and ask them to do the same.
Over the past fifteen years DEA has waged a wasteful and pointless war against farmers and businesses who seek to grow and process non-drug industrial hemp, a plant which was grown by American farmers for centuries dating back to the founding of our nation. Since 2003 Michele Leonhart, the nominee for DEA Administrator, has chosen to continue and escalate the DEA's war on hemp farmers and manufacturers while she was the Acting Deputy Administrator, Deputy Administrator and Acting Administrator.
