Dear Friend,
As you know, the pot industry and its bevy of lobbyists and bought and paid for lawmakers are willing to do anything to pass bills to further its addiction-for-profit model, and have tried to attach such bills to any and every must pass bill.
Now, they are staking out a new path, by attaching 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 — to a must-pass military spending bill known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Up until now, most bills that the SAFE Banking Act has been attached to in the House have not been passed into law, but the NDAA is a bill that has been signed into law each year for the last sixty years.
This is why it is vital you take action now to alert your representatives and senators to this shady action by the pot lobby and demand any such amendment be removed from this years defense authorization bill.
The SAFE Banking Act would leave banks out of compliance with federal law, while opening the doors to Wall Street investment into the marijuana industry and put the pedal to the metal in the creation of the next Big Tobacco. All without any public health and safety guardrails.
Thank you for all that you do,
