[Hemp being "against the law" is more stupid than the Federal Reserve Ed] The Industrial Hemp Farming Act has been introduced two times previously, in the 109th and 110th Congress. It has never received a committee hearing before. In this, the 111th Congress, H.R. 1866, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009, has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.

Committee members are from California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. If you are in their district it is especially important that you write to them and ask for their support by co-sponsoring H.R. 1866 and working to get a hearing for the bill.

We already have the support of companies that produce hemp products that would be able to present testimony before a committee in Congress. Your letters will help us get a hearing for the bill.
