Activists vow a daily Capitol presence.
MADISON: A statewide “Day of Prayer for Compassion” was announced Thursday by Gary Storck, president of Wisconsin NORML and director of communications of Is My Medicine Legal YET? (IMMLY).
The Day of Prayer for Compassion is scheduled for Tuesday March 23. The popular Facebook page, Wisconsin Residents for Assembly Bill 554 noted the following on an event page for the Day of Prayer:
Act now to help pass the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act!
AB554/SB368, the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act remains in committee as sponsors attempt to assemble the votes to pass the bill. At the current time, while many Democratic Assembly representatives and Senators are ready to vote for the JRMMA, the problem is, so far, no Republican members have formally said they would vote for the bill.
As Democratic majorities in both houses are slim, the JRMMA needs supporters of both parties to pass the Legislature this session. We need to get the word out that the JRMMA is about compassion and that Wisconsinites deserve the same freedom to legally access medical cannabis as Americans in the 14 states that now allow this option.
As of today, we have 51 days until April 22, 2010, at which point the JRMMA’s chance of passage will likely expire.
We need to act with urgency now:
