I subscribe to a medical pot newsletter. From it this week I learned that there is a bill in the Cali Senate this week that will help protect medical pot users from losing their jobs.

Any Cali resident should call or email their local Senator to tell them you favor this bill.

Remember, each call they get represents like 1,000 other voters who feel the same way yet don't feel like calling themselves. Or something like that...

Here's from the newsletter:


URGENT: Act Now to Protect the Jobs
of California Medical Marijuana Patients!
Call Your State Senator Right Now!



Dear ASA Supporter,

This week, the California Senate will vote on an ASA-sponsored bill that will establish employment rights for hundreds of thousands of medical cannabis patients throughout California. AB 2279, which has already passed the State Assembly, has the support of three labor unions representing nearly one million workers in California.
Now it’s crunch time! The bill could come for a vote at any time this week, and we need to know it has enough votes to pass! Just take 3 minutes to call your state senator and tell him or her to support AB 2279 to give medical cannabis patients the right to work!
The bill, sponsored by Assembly Member Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), will negate a recent California Supreme Court ruling, which stated that employers can fire workers just for being legal medical cannabis patients, legitimizing job discrimination for seriously ill Californians. ASA’s law will protect patients who strive to be productive members of society.
Thanks to all of you have sent emails in the past, but we need personal phone calls from constituents right now! Your call will make all the difference.
To find contact information for your State Senator, visit www.AmericansForSafeAccess.org/FindCASenator (http://www.americansforsafeaccess.org/FindCASenator). Enter your address and you will be directed to the phone number for your State Senator.
Please call your State Senator right now to ask for his/her support!
Here is a sample script to use:
“Hi, my name is ____________ , and I live in _____________.
"I’m calling to ask that Senator ______ support AB 2279, the Workers Rights to Medical Marijuana Act. This bill will prevent employers from discriminating against legal medical cannabis patients, and will reverse a court decision that puts more than 200,000 California citizens in jeopardy of losing their jobs without due cause.”
Thank you for supporting ASA and our efforts to secure the rights of California medical marijuana patients.

Sincerely, Don Duncan
California Director
Americans for Safe Access
