[Scpg] Nutiva Encourages Industrial Hemp Amendment to the Farm Bill/Contact Your Representative Today

[Margie Bushman, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

URGENT! Please Call Your Representative in Congress Today!

Ask Them to Support & Vote for the Industrial Hemp Amendment to the Farm Bill

This message comes to us, and then to you, from our friends and 
allies at VoteHemp.

As you may know, the Senate has passed their version of the Farm Bill 
and Senator Ron Wyden's hemp amendment failed to be voted on because 
of politics that was out of our control. This week the House is 
debating their version of the Farm Bill. This means that we have the 
opportunity to get a hemp amendment in once again! Representatives 
Jared Polis, Thomas Massie, and Earl Blumenauer have introduced an 
amendment to the Farm Bill that would allow colleges and universities 
to grow and cultivate hemp for academic and agricultural research 
purposes. It would only apply to states where industrial hemp growth 
and cultivation is already legal under state law.

We need you to call and email your Representative in Congress and ask 
them to support & vote for the Industrial Hemp Amendment to the Farm 
Bill and let researchers in the U.S. be able to work on the crop.

  Please click here and make the call now!

  We have a short, easy to use script and phone numbers will be 
provided after you enter your Zip Code on our web site at: 
http://votehemp.com/farmbill Thank you very much for taking the time 
to call and sending us feedback on your call!

Calls are the most important thing to do now. If you can't make a 
call please click here to send an email.


We ask that you pass this information on to friends and family and 
ask them to call and write as well. Thank you so much for your support!
