This is unacceptable, and an affront to U.S. hemp farmers and the founding fathers. Thomas Jefferson will not rest in peace until American farmers are able to legally grow hemp!

We are selling products that promote the legalization of industrial hemp in the United States. I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to visit our website, and consider the benefits of growing industrial hemp in the United States. Not only are we promoting the industrial hemp movement but all of our products are 100% made in the USA. Our stickers are made by a local printer in the Phoenix Arizona area and our “T” shirts are 100% organic using all-American organic cotton. At first I thought that making an all-American organic shirt would be simple. Well it’s not. The United States only supplies 1.2% of the organic cotton world wide, thus making it difficult to purchase 100% USA grown and made organic apparel. Now (if you are still reading this), I would like you to take a quick peek at the tag in the shirt you are wearing. I can almost guarantee that it does not say “Made in the USA.” And if it does say “Made in the USA,” I can almost guarantee that the material in your shirt is in fact made from fabric that is grown in some other region of the world. Support Your Local Hemp Farmer is dedicated to thinking globally but buying locally, thus helping to do your part in supporting American farmers and American-owned companies. The state of our country’s textile industry alone helps reinforce the fact that our farmers need to have the freedom to grow industrial hemp, a versatile crop that will increase their production and that can be used for everything from clothing to plastics. We welcome your feedback, both positive and negative. Please forward this message to all like minded people that you know.

I hope you will all consider joining twitter and tweeting with the #TCOT hash tag about hemp. HR1866 passage could change the whole face of the American economy but for some reasons most conservatives are paying no attention. Today I found myself on a site where a bunch of Canadians were gloating about how glad they were that America still has laws against growing hemp and how we send them all the business. Hemp is making millionaires in Canada while in America families are losing their farms. Promoting the benefits of hemp is easy to do- there is so much information about it on the web. I propose that instead of complaining about Obama or this and that, we all just run our own local PR campaign to get support for HR 1866 off the ground. (I also submit that the support for industrial hemp should not be blended with that of the psychoactive strain of cannabis. That association is what criminalized crop hemp in the first place.)

I've asked everyone I know to write their Reps but what else? And Attn CA: Sen Feinstein, whom I hope is voted out, replied that it was a Schedule I drug and IF a bill is ever proposed she would keep my views in mind. I know it's a House bill, but I specifically asked her to support this bill and I get a very obvious form letter. She explained to me that it was a Schedule I drug like I was a kid who didn't know better. I was already mad at her for opposing Prop 5.

Jack Herer is having a contest and giving $100,000 to anyone who can prove he's wrong about Hemp. Love to think about all those ignorant people running around trying to prove him wrong with no hope of success. This plant is so easily grown and maintained and produces so many products and one acre could save around 4 acres of trees and on and on. Even the seeds are really healthy...
