Subject: A high priority
Friend,
As Majority Leader, it's my job to set the Senate's priorities. And today, I want you to know that legalizing marijuana is high on my list.
It's time to legalize recreational marijuana, end the failed War on Drugs, and seek justice for the communities it harmed. I know we can get this done, but I need your help to keep up the public support.
Sign your name next to mine and call on the Senate to legalize marijuana now!
This is urgent -- the War on Drugs continues to derail countless lives, and Black Americans are nearly four times as likely as white people to be arrested for marijuana possession. This is injustice, plain and simple.
Not only is legalizing marijuana and expunging past convictions the right thing to do -- it's what the American people are demanding. More than two-thirds of Americans -- from both sides of the aisle -- want to legalize recreational marijuana.
The House just passed a bill to legalize marijuana. Now, it's the Senate's turn -- but Senate Republicans are already signaling their opposition. A massive show of support right now could make the difference. Will you sign on and call on the Senate to legalize marijuana on the federal level?
Together,
Chuck Schumer
