Dear Friend,
As you know, the pot industry, its lobbyists, and pro-weed lawmakers are willing to do anything to pass bills to further the addiction-for-profit model. Last week, despite bipartisan opposition, the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance one of the industry's top priorities: the "SAFER" Banking Act. Now the bill could come up for a vote on the Senate floor at any time.
This bill sounds familiar, right? The "SAFER" Banking Act is the new name for the "SAFE" Banking Act, a bill to allow the pot industry access to the U.S. financial system and billions of dollars in institutional investment from the likes of Big Tobacco, Big Alcohol, and Big Pharma. SAFER Banking is almost exactly the same as SAFE Banking. Yet this new version is the product of months-long negotiations over a Republican sweetener in the bill that would have bolstered protections for the firearms industry.
Tell Your Senators to Oppose SAFER Banking Today!
We are putting more pressure than ever on the Senators who support SAFER Banking. Last week, SAM Action sent out a digital ad to thousands of Montanans, Capitol Hill staffers, and members of Congress about Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) efforts to promote SAFER Banking. We heard about the impact of our ad within hours.
