Fight marijuana prohibition in Virginia

From NORML PAC:

Representative Jim Moran of Virginia's 8th congressional district is retiring. This is important news in the world of marijuana law reform because Representative Moran has been a long time ally in our fight for ending federal marijuana prohibition and reliably co-sponsored all of the various pieces of federal reform legislation that have been introduced over the years. While we wish Rep. Moran all the best after many years of dedicated service, we must now fight to ensure his successor is just as strongly in favor of marijuana law reforms as he was. In a crowded field of candidates, only one stands out as a true reform leader: state Senator Adam Ebbin.

That is why NORML PAC has endorsed Senator Ebbin in his campaign to be the next US Congressman from Virginia's 8th. While serving in the Virginia General Assembly, Adam Ebbin introduced marijuana decriminalization legislation and called for ending the egregious, racially disparate marijuana arrests in the commonwealth. Senator Ebbin has publicly called for the legalization of marijuana noting that "marijuana is less harmful than liquor" and that some of the worst racial disparities in marijuana arrests occur right in the 8th congressional district. In Arlington County, African Americans make up just over 8% of the population, but account for over 50% of all marijuana arrests. Senator Ebbin has taken a stand in favor of ending this discriminatory policy while serving in the state legislature and would be a great champion for our cause in Washington, DC.

SEND A MARIJUANA LAW REFORM CHAMPION TO CONGRESS

NORML PAC is standing with Senator Ebbin and doing all we can to send him to Washington, DC to fight for reform at the federal level. Will you stand with us? This will be a highly competitive election and every dollar helps print campaign literature, fuel get out the vote efforts, and put Senator Ebbin's message before as many voters as possible before the June 10th primary. We can't afford to lose one of our reliable supporters in Congress, it is imperative we elect Senator Adam Ebbin as Jim Moran's successor, not just for Virginia, but for the state of reform nationwide.
Contribute $20, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford to Ebbin for Congress and together we can send a true marijuana law reform leader to Washington, DC.
We need to support candidates who support us.
