Post by anu »

Imperial California 1928 hemp cropA joint project of America's leading hemp advocacy organizations, Hemp is Our History Week is looking for patriotic Americans to anchor and organize events in their hometown as part of a national grassroots, media and public education campaign.

The effort hopes to mobilize at least 50,000 letters to President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder asking them to end the status quo and let farmers grow versatile and profitable industrial hemp.

Hemp is Our History Week wants you to sign up ASAP to be contacted by our coordinators to begin planning for local Town Hall meetings to present historical data about hemp farming in your area prior to its prohibition. You will be connected to other like-minded hemp advocates that will plan the events with you and help get the word out its time for change. And, you'll receive coupons for hemp products as a thank you for being part of this historic movement to resume hemp farming in the U.S.
Come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Same needs your help again
be the first ones on the block
to have your daughter come home

Save the Date: May 17-23, 2010 is Hemp is Our History Week!

More Info

Hemp is Our History Week is looking for hundreds of volunteers nationwide to hold events on the history of hemp farming in their area with the focus of bringing back the versatile and profitable industrial hemp crop.

Volunteers will be asked to visit libraries and historical societies to find old newspaper articles and other documents about local hemp farming before the crop was banned. The research will be discussed at a scheduled public event in which members of the media and local officials would also be invited.

Hemp is our History Week is part of Vote Hemp's ongoing strategy to get the Department of Justice to change its approach to American farmers who intend to plant industrial hemp in 2010.

Please forward this announcement widely and get involved.

We appreciate your time and energy in making Hemp is Our History Week a success!

Sincerely,

Vote Hemp and HIA Staff

Hemp is Our History Week coming up in May !!

Post by anu »

I am very excited that the National Farmers Union has passed a strong pro-hemp resolution at their annual meeting two weeks ago in Rapid City, SD. Here is the policy that was passed:

"We urge the President, Attorney General, and Congress to direct the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to differentiate between industrial hemp and marijuana and adopt policy to allow American farmers to grow industrial hemp under state law without requiring DEA licenses."

This resolution is the result of some hard work by Vote Hemp advocates in ND and the Rocky Mountain region including Wayne Hauge (ND), Gloria Castillo (NM) and Ruth Fahrbach (NM). Vote Hemp worked to get resolutions passed at the North Dakota Farmers Union as well as the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union and then to get the resolution placed into the national strategy. We also funded a booth at the NFU convention which was staffed by Gloria and Ruth. During the convention, they distributed flyers and hemp product samples from Natures Path, Nutiva, Bronner's and Living Harvest educating the 600+ delegates in attendance. Apparently there was no dissent and the policy was passed easily.

This ties in perfectly with our current Hemp History Week campaign to get the Department of Justice to change their policy on hemp farming.

NFU President Roger Johnson, formerly the Agriculture Commissioner in North Dakota, will now be able to advocate for a new hemp policy on behalf of American farmers! The NFU mentioned the policy in a press release following the convention.

For the last four growing seasons, farmers in North Dakota have received licenses from the North Dakota Department of Agriculture to grow industrial hemp. Despite the state's authorization to grow hemp, these farmers risk raids by federal agents, jail time and possible forfeiture of their farms and assets if they try to grow the crop, due to the failure of DEA to distinguish non-drug industrial hemp from drug varieties of Cannabis.

The National Grange also recently added pro-hemp language to its national policy. The only major farm group without a hemp policy is the Farm Bureau and they are our next target.

As the news in this issue shows, the rest of the world gets it and is profiting off of hemp grown and processed in their countries. With your help we will continue to work towards a solution to the issue here in the U.S.

Regards,

Eric Steenstra
President
