Nuke vote postponed, Save some Earth, Stop the War on Medical Marijuana :: Actions for June 9
From the Council for a Livable World Due to the events commemorating the life of President Reagan, the Senate will not be holding any votes this week. Majority Leader Frist announced yesterday a new unanimous consent agreement to schedule for Tuesday, June 15, the Senate vote on the Kennedy-Feinstein amendment to eliminate funds to develop a new generation of nuclear weapons. Before the vote, there may be up to 50 minutes debate in support of the Kennedy-Feinstein amendment and 50 minutes in opposition. Thus that first vote should occur around Noon on June 15. Scroll down to read yesterday's post to take action on this item.
From the National Resource Defense Council
PROTECT THE TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST: Tell the EPA not to authorize log dumping in Ward Cove.
SAVE CASTLE-BIGHORN: Tell Shell Canada to shelve its plans for new sour gas wells in the Castle.
From the Drug Reform Coordination Network
An amendment sponsored by Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), cosponsored by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), would have forbid the US Dept. Of Justice
from using its resources to interfere with state medical
marijuana laws. Though the Hinchey amendment was defeated, the number of members who voted for it, 152, represented a 150% increase in Congressional support for medical marijuana since the only previous House vote on the issue five years before. Rep. Hinchey is again championing his amendment this summer, and it is anticipated that a vote on it will take place sometime next month. Tell your Representative to support the amendment.
