COVID Funding to Big Abortion & Marijuana?
The Family Policy Alliance team alerted you when Nancy Pelosi tried to
sneak a taxpayer funding stream for abortion into the COVID-19
relief plan-and your voice and quick action helped stop her in
her tracks. We alerted you when Planned Parenthood unbelievably asked
for donations of medical supplies like masks and defied orders to
stop elective procedures. But another big money industry is hoping to
cash in on the coronavirus crisis.

Big Marijuana-and their allies in the U.S. House-are
hoping to get disaster relief funding for themselves.
Big Marijuana believes it deserves your taxpayer dollars-despite
the fact that marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law. It begs
the question: With so many small businesses hurting during the crisis,
why should taxpayer relief money go to an illegal industry already
flowing in cash?
At last count, about thirty other legislators (from both sides of the
aisle) joined Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Ed Perlmutter
(D-CO) in pushing House leadership to make the marijuana industry
eligible for all COVID-19 relief programs-even though these
programs are already low on funding. Worse yet, the bill would require
the funding to extend not just to medical marijuana dispensaries, but
to recreational marijuana as well.
And what would our taxpayer money pay for if Big Marijuana were given
access to COVID-19 relief? Check out our video on what Colorado looks
like since legalizing recreational pot.

Keep in mind that in many states, Big Marijuana has been considered an
"essential business" and allowed to continue operations-still
raking in cash. Yet, America's small businesses have been forced to
close their doors, suffering major revenue loss and leaving millions
of Americans without jobs.
Big Marijuana and their allies in Congress want to see money intended
for America's small businesses go up in smoke-literally.
Family Policy Alliance strongly opposes this effort to allow Big
Marijuana access to COVID-19 relief programs. If you agree,
please help us spread the word by sharing this article on Facebook or
