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. Thank you for supporting MPP and
California's medical marijuana patients.

Sincerely,

F. Aaron Smith
California Organizer
