Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 10am in Room 412 East, State Capitol:
Combined Senate/Assembly Health Committee Hearing on AB554/SB358, the
Jacki Rickert MMJ Act (JRMMA)
There will be a combined public hearing of the Senate Committee on
Health, Health Insurance, Privacy, Property Tax Relief, and Revenue and
the Assembly Committee on Public Health on Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at
10am in Room 412 East at the State Capitol.
Interested parties who attend the hearing may register in support of the
JRMMA, submit written testimony, and/or testify in person. Arrive early
to complete a hearing registration card. A tally will be made of those
registering for and against. Written testimony will be made available
to all members of both committees. Please dress respectfully of the
situation, business casual or even a suit and tie or your best outfit.
Testifying in person: If you plan to testify personally, while there
will likely be no time limits, testimony that is shorter and to the
point holds legislators attention better. It may be helpful to prepare a
brief statement that you can read in a few minutes. You can expand on
your remarks in written form to include additional information.
Here's what our friend Jim Miller has to say: "I like to tell potential
tesimonialists that if they plan on saying something that someone else
could say, then probably someone else should say it. Stick to what is
personal to you! When you say how marijuana helps you are saying
something nobody else can. THAT is what committee members need to say.
Leave the policy wonk stuff to policy wonks. I hear that there will be some in attendance."
How to Submit written Testimony. You may submit written testimony to
Kelly.Johnson@legis.wisconsin.gov in State Sen. Jon Erpenbach's office.
The mailing address is Room 8 South State Capitol P.O. Box 7882 Madison,
WI 53707-7882. Sen. Erpenbach's office will make all submitted written
testimony available to all members of both committees. This does not mean each member will make the time to review all submissions. Concise and easy to read submissions with a narrow focus on your personal connection to the issue will likely get read more than long submissions that stray off topic into things like the total legalization of cannabis. Please stay on topic. The bill is not about marijuana legalization, but creating a narrow exemption for the sick and dying. Legalizing marijuana overall is not covered by the bill, and is not pertinent to this discussion.

they should pass laws so people with their MMJ liscences from one state can legally purchase MJ from dispensaries in other states....that'd be cool

I like the pre-written letters from the websites, but a personal letter is okay also.
I know a person whose mother 60ish went through cancer and got medical bud from grandson in CA. The mother did not know about this until after the JRMMA came out and she said "mom, you didn't have to talk to my son in CA, I could have given it to you right here in WI".... now, even though Gma cancer is gone, she is using for depression treatment now, and her dau is using it for fibrmyalga) and the son from CA using for PTSD, depression and pain managment (he disabled vet). They all use together now and the son will move back home if WI goes medical.
These are the stories that need to be shared.
If you know of Doctors treating patients they know marijuana can help, get those people talking also....

I'm planning on driving to WI to be at the hearing on Dec 15, depending on if my partner can get off of work. It's a 14 hour drive from here but I will make it to show my support. I REALLY want this bill to pass, I REALLY want to move closer to my folks. Anything I need to do Cannaco-Op?
Now that is what I am talking about......check out www.jrmma.org .
Have your parents contact their legislators, both senate and assembly representatives, and register their support.
The more you can do the better at this point.... just ask if you have any questions.
Who is going to follow ThisBuds4you's lead?
