CHERYL MILLER MEMORIAL CONGRESSIONAL PHONE SLAM DAY, 9/23/03

Last week DRCNet wrote briefly about the upcoming Cheryl Miller
Memorial Project's DC vigil, demonstration and lobby day, less than
three weeks from now on September 22 and 23 (http://www.cheryldcmemorial.org).

There is one activity on the agenda for those who can't make it to
Washington, a Congressional "phone slam" in support of H.R. 2233, the
States Rights to Medical Marijuana Act. Your phone calls on September
23 will coincide with a day of Capitol Hill lobbying by attendees at
the Memorial Project, and will ensure those visits are taken very seriously.

We hope that DRCNet members will make an extra strong showing of
participation in the phone slam, and we have a way to make it easy to
do so: Visit http://stopthedrugwar.org/medicalmarijuana/ right now to
send an e-mail to your US Rep., your two Senators, and the President
(if you haven't done so already), and our system will also keep a
record of your Congressional District. Then, on the morning of the
23rd, we will send you a reminder about the phone slam, and the text
of the message you receive will include the names and office phone
numbers of your Rep. and your Senators -- you won't even have to look
them up or go through the Congressional Switchboard.
