--- Begin Message ------------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marijuana Policy Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2008/9/8 Subject: Calif. alert: Ask Gov. Schwarzenegger to sign medical marijuana bill! [image: Marijuana Policy Project] *Marijuana Policy Project Alert: Calif. * *September 8, 2008* *Alert: **You are receiving this message because you have expressed an interest in marijuana policy reform. However, you are not signed up to receive MPP's free e-mail updates, so you're missing out on exciting opportunities to reform marijuana laws. If you want to receive occasional breaking news like this, please sign up<http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=Ar0kQbGpaawQVMWdjFpxtQ..>today.If you never want to receive alerts, click the link at the bottom of this message.* Dear Rick: The bill that would ban employment discrimination against medical marijuana patients — A.B. 2279 — is finally on its way to the governor's desk. That's right, all we need is Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature, and medical marijuana patients will no longer have to risk being fired for using the medicine that their physician recommended. *Please **write Gov. Schwarzenegger today*<http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=Jg3WP5h4GJI7SkC4KLWfpA..> * and urge him to sign A.B. 2279 into law!* Using MPP's action page<http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=joA4yCtQrLi785q-eA5L1Q..>, taking action is simple. Just visit the site<http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=xpvXIDauwoZdzUzJPJVVRw..>, enter your contact information, and send your e-mail to the governor. You can use one of our prewritten messages, or you can write your own. If you are a patient or a medical professional, please include that information in the message. Once you have sent your e-mail<http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=Tv7tZAJwnoxh_9iR0c6EAg..>, please follow up with a phone call to the governor's office. Just call (916) 445-2841, and tell the operator you are calling to urge Gov. Schwarzenegger to sign A.B. 2279 into law. A.B. 2279 <http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=TDpOWk07EGFWywGhkrZ_bw..> is narrowly crafted legislation — authored by Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) and sponsored by Americans for Safe Access — that would ensure that medical marijuana patients could not be fired or denied employment based solely on a positive drug test for marijuana. Even though this legislation carves out exceptions for safety-sensitive positions and doesn't lift the prohibition on coming to work impaired, business and law enforcement interests are urging the governor to veto the bill. *Please don't let the Governor "terminate" this important bill, **take action* <http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=LGHzkEcE0ET2Vl64FwXS2A..>* today!* Please forward <http://control.mpp.org/site/R?i=I7OXMMUwRVUl_aV6I3ZRXw..>this message on to friends, family, and co-workers in California, so that they too can contact the governor.
