VETO HB1284 and SB109
Send a Message to Governor Bill Ritter
Despite some last minute attempts to kill HB1284 in the House, the bill
ultimately passed on Tuesday by a vote of 46 to 19, according to Denver
Channel 7 News:
https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/23521888/detail.html
Governor Ritter now has 30 days to sign the bill, veto the bill, or let the
bill pass into law without signing it. Many political observers believe
that Ritter will sign the bill. As a former prosecutor, he was one of the
main proponents of using a Law Enforcement Model for Colorado’s medical
marijuana regulations. He helped Senator Romer craft a bill most favorable
to police and prosecutors with no regard for patients. Governor Ritter has
decided not to run for re-election in November, so these are his last few
months in office.
Tell Governor Ritter that citizens want him to veto HB1284 and SB109
because the bills will harm patients by driving up both the price of
medicine and participation in the program. Ten years ago, Coloradans voted
for Amendment 20 to protect patients right to safe access to cannabis
medicine. These bills restrict patient’s rights and should be vetoed by
Gov. Ritter.
