This week I received some email asking for a sample letter to send to representatives about H.R. 1866, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act. Here is the letter I sent my representative, Phil Gingrey. Feel free to use it as is or edit it and send it to your representatives in Washington.
Congressman Gingrey,
Our federal government is too large. It has grown beyond the scope that our founders intended and is a regular threat to personal liberty.
One way that the federal government is overreaching its intended scope is in the War on Drugs. Determining which substances should be legal or illegal is an issue for each state to determine – not the federal government.
I ask that you review and cosponsor H.R. 1866, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009. This legislation will not end the War on Drugs, but it is an important step in removing power from the federal government where it has overstepped its bounds.
Thank you for your service to our district and our country.
Ron
