‘In the ’80’s the EPA chief announced that if we kept burning fossil fuels ( oil, coal) and cutting down trees for wood and paper, we would be facing [dire] circumstances in 30 to 50 years’ - Rock City News, vol.24, no.15

Al Gore’s documentary has proved the above prediction to be true. What can you do? Call the Governor at 916-445-2841. When the operator comes on, say, “I support allowing farmers to cultivate HEMP. Please sign AB1147. Thank you.” Email the Governator at www.govmail.ca.gov.

Here is reason #32 why: HEMP wood is ten times stronger, uses way less toxic chemicals to process (acid rain), and takes only 6 months to grow compared to forest harvested wood.

The bottom line - The HEMP plant breathes faster than any other ’so if we leave the trees alone and (just) grow HEMP for paper and wood, this would make an amazing difference on our air quality and ozone protection.’ - EPA Chief

California is poised to become the first state in the Union to allow farmers to grow HEMP without Federal permission. State bill AB 1147 is now on the Governator’s desk, waiting for a signature. Call 916.445.2841 anytime between 9AM - 5PM, follow the prompts and when a live operator answers you say, “I support allowing farmers to cultivate HEMP. Please sign AB 1147. Thank you.”

For the geeky hip, use your laptop to email the Gov at, yep you guessed it, www.govmail.ca.gov Subject line: Allow Hemp Cultivation, Sign AB 1147

Message: I support allowing farmers to cultivate hemp. Please sign AB 1147. Thank you.

- after the basic message you are encouraged to add any personal message of your own. It is an election year, Sports Fans, so folks are listening to what the public has to say.
