Speaker Nancy Pelosi answered questions yesterday submitted via the popular social news Web site, Digg.com. Digg user adroit asked Pelosi, “[a]s a taxable resource, what stops marijuana from being legalized, for medicinal or recreational purposes, throughout the country?”
“I myself have supported medicinal use of marijuana over and over again … there just isn’t enough support for it,” said Speaker Pelosi. She then called on the public to help raise awareness about the issue, saying, “We need people’s help to be in touch with their members of Congress to say why [medical marijuana] should be the case.”
Why not take the speaker's words to heart and send a letter to your member of Congress right now? You can take action in less than a minute at MPP’s online action center.
