Team, did you know that 91% of Americans support legalizing marijuana?
Across nearly every demographic—white, Black, young, old, Democrat, Republican—a majority of people support legalizing marijuana for both medical and recreational purposes. In fact, only 8% of Americans think cannabis should be illegal. But unfortunately, that 8% includes President Joe Biden.
Marijuana legalization is a HUGE opportunity for Democrats in the midterms. It’s our chance to show voters we can deliver. That’s why we’re calling on President Biden to change course and push Congress to pass legislation to legalize cannabis, once and for all.
TELL PRESIDENT BIDEN: Support marijuana legalization and push for reform ahead of the 2022 midterms.
Legalizing marijuana is a slam dunk issue. Many states have already legalized it—they’ve seen thousands of jobs created, more tourism and revenue for the state, and far fewer people arrested and jailed. Cannabis also helps ease pain for those with chronic illnesses, helps veterans manage symptoms of PTSD, and is far safer than alcohol.
Beyond its health and economic benefits, marijuana is also a political winner that Democrats can’t afford to give to Republicans. Legalization is supported by 95% of Democrats, but it’s also supported by huge majorities of Republicans and Independents. It’s a wedge issue that Democrats can deliver on.
That’s why Ground Game Texas is putting marijuana on the ballot across Texas. We’ve launched campaigns across the state to register thousands of voters and mobilize them behind legalization efforts. These campaigns will help end the War on Drugs in our state, and they will help elect Democrats in the process. This is a winning issue—and we’re so grateful to have your support.
Thank you,
Ground Game Texas
