Dear Friend,

WE NEED YOUR HELP: The hemp-derived THC ban has made it into a crucial spending bill Congress will soon be voting on—and Big Hemp’s supporters, like Sen. Rand Paul, are plotting to remove the ban. ([link removed])

This could come up for a vote in the next few hours: a make-or-break decision for the future of public health could be imminent TODAY.

That’s why we need you to let your lawmakers know ASAP: Leave the hemp ban in the bill! ([link removed])

Winning this vote is a crucial step toward making sure that a ban on hemp-derived intoxicants like Delta-8 THC happens. ([link removed]) Families, advocates, and everyone else concerned with real public health needs to make their voices heard—loudly.

That’s why you need to click this link NOW to tell your Congress member to support the ban! ([link removed])

If you only write one letter to Congress in your lifetime, make it this one. Public health stands on the cusp of a historic triumph or a massive defeat.

Federal lawmakers are poised to take up a crucial opportunity to rectify a legislative error in the 2018 Farm Bill that has enabled an addiction industry to hurt kids and families across the country. So NOW is the most pivotal time to act ([link removed]) , when the stakes are highest.

Again, demanding your Congress member support this ban could not be more important. Click here to let them know what they need to do. ([link removed])

Take action NOW and ask your Congress member to keep the hemp-derived THC ban intact. ([link removed]) We are counting on you to ensure that public health is prioritized over corporate profits across the nation.

Thank you for your support.

In partnership,

The SAM Action Team
