We've won a major battle: On the front page of the Washington Times today, a White House spokesman said: “The president believes that federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws, and as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind." Your letters paid off. Would you take one minute to use MPP's easy online system to e-mail the president and thank him for his commitment to protecting medical marijuana patients? Please call the white house to say "thank you." (202) 456-1111
