The Senate has passed Senator Maynard's Joint Resolution on Hemp! It has now gone over to the House and is in the Agriculture Committee. The resolution, JRS 26, can be found on the Vote Hemp Vermont State page. Once the resolution passes in both the House and the Senate, it will be sent on to the decision makers in Washington, DC.
If you haven't done so yet, please write a thank you note to the Senators who cosponsored the resolution! Please send a hand-written note to the Senators (their email is really clogged up with the "big" issues this year). This is a great chance to use the Rural Vermont notecards (please click here to order some).
You can see who the cosponsors of the resolution are here and if you don't know who your Senator is you can find that information here. If your senator did not cosponsor the resolution, please send your thank you note to Senator Maynard.
You can send your card or note to (fill in the blank with the Senator's last name):
Senator __________
Vermont Statehouse
115 State Street
Montpelier, VT 05633.
Thanks you for taking the time to write!
