One Telephone Call: A Plea for Help



So, I had the great pleasure last night of texting and private-messaging with my friend Paige Figi, the mother of Charlotte (Charlotte's Web fame) and agreed to help push on Senator Diane Feinstein to co-sponsor Senate Bill 1333, The Therapeutic Hemp Medical Access Act.

I am crazy, I know, to do anything else, but honestly how hard could it be, especially when I have all of you out there to help me. 

Here's what I want you to do.

  1. Call Senator Feinstein's D.C. office when you have a moment today and ask her to co-sponsor the Therapeutic Hemp Medical Access Act or S. 1333. 
  2. Here's the phone number: (202) 224-3841 Tell the person who answers that this bill will provide access to thousands of families who cannot get this life-saving treatment for their children. The bill will deschedule cannabis-rich products/hemp from Schedule 1. It's a tiny step forward and a HUGE one for our community. Senator Feinstein WANTS TO HEAR FROM HER CONSTITUENTS, SO PLEASE CALIFORNIANS, STEP UP!
  3. Don't forget to ask Senator Feinstein to CO-SPONSOR S.1333.

If you need more information or would like to help get co-sponsors in your state, here's the website for Coalition for Access Now.

      You already ARE a "better person." Thank you for your support, though, and feel free to call your own Senators and ask them to co-sponsor the bills!

    What Madame King said.
    I shared the link to Coalition To Access on FB today and went there myself to click.
    You are my hero.

      Thank you, Ms. Moon, as always. Call your Florida senators and ask them to co-sponsor the bill.

    Thank you for all you do! A cape wouldn't be enough for you, you, my hero, wear a superhero sheet! Silver lining, hoping you can get some rest under that sheet now and then.
    I have called, emailed and shared.

    I'm not Californian, or even American, but I'm cheering you all on.
