Iowans - please sign Senator Bolkcom's petition for medical cannabis

[rurallib]

Sick and suffering Iowans are asking for our help.

The Iowa Senate has approved a responsible way to get them the medicine they need by approving a comprehensive medical cannabis program. But the Republicans who control the Iowa House are refusing to take action.

Will you stand up for Iowans in need of care?

This is appalling. It is shameful. This legislation is the ONLY chance these suffering Iowans have. Denying them a vote, a vote which would likely be successful, is cruel and mean-spirited.

Iowans are rallying for medical cannabis, and the policy has more than 80% approval statewide. Twenty three other states have created their own medical cannabis systems.

Iowa should do the same. Add your name >>> support medical cannabis in Iowa.

Families affected by cancer, MS, Epilepsy, AIDS, PTSD, and other painful, long-term conditions simply want a safe, legal, affordable way to access helpful medicines.

This isn’t just any issue. It is a life and death for many of these patients.
If the leadership of the Iowa House wants to deny medicine to Iowans who need it, they should at least have the decency to allow a vote on Senate File 484.

Support medical cannabis today, and send a message to Iowa House Republicans. Tell them they have a moral obligation to allow a vote before the legislative session ends.

Thank you,
Joe Bolkcom
Senator, Iowa City
P.S.Republicans in the Iowa House are determined to block a vote that would help Iowans get the medical care they need. Send them a message by adding your name to support medical cannabis.
