How YOU Can Help!

You can take a moment to remind our state legislators that this issue is about normal people like YOU.

Remind them that this is about our neighbors, friends and family members, and let them know we are outraged by the continuing, needless suffering of the sick and dying of Illinois because we have not provided them with safe access to the medicine they need.

Sign the petition - Support medical marijuana legislation in the Illinois General Assembly this year!

We will deliver a copy of the signed petition to each and every House and Senate member at the beginning of the 2008 session.

Please join us. Together we can make 2008 a year of compassion.
