A petition began circulating online on Thursday asking Rep. Matt Baker (R-Tioga/Bradford/Potter) to resign from office for not allowing a medical marijuana bill to come to a vote in the Pennsylvania House of representatives.

The online petition has 1,360 signatures as of Sunday. Over 600 people have commented on the page. The petition expresses distrust in Baker's judgement: Rep. Matt Baker has clearly shown he is not capable of representing the state of Pennsylvania. Mr. Baker has shown that he will vote for his own interest which goes against the very title he has been trusted with. This petition is asking for Mr. Baker to step down as he has violated the trust between him and the people of the state of Pennsylvania.﻿

Some expressed frustration that a single person had the power to prevent a vote on a bill that gained broad bipartisan support in the Senate and presumably would enjoy similar support in the House. "How can one man have so much impact...something doesn't seem right about that," commented Reddit user keystroker007.

Others questioned Baker's motivations in preventing the House from considering the bill.

"It's absolutely ludicrous to think that medical cannabis is not beneficial for human health issues," writes Randolph Yale, on the petition. "This guy is not for the people, he is for himself and his pockets. He needs to go!"

Biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is Baker's top campaign financier, providing over $5,000, according to VoteSmart.org. "Pharmaceuticals and health" donated more to Baker than any other identified industry, the analysis shows, providing Baker with a total of $12,000.
