H.R.1866
The USA Hemp Museum got this message from the great hemp activist, Dr. Jeri Rose.
"Richard, WE need to get EVERYONE who cares about planet earth to write to their Representative to support HR 1866. It simply allows those states that want to allow their farmers to grow industrial hemp to go ahead and let them.
Please write your Rep and email everyone you know and ask them to email everyone they know. This must become a nationwide avalanche to the House of Representatives."
House.gov has the link where you can share your support for ending hemp prohibition now and restoring sanity to government. Tell them it is not nice to make mother nature illegal.
From The Library Of Congress's Thomas.gov
H.R.1866
"OFFICIAL TITLE AS INTRODUCED: To amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marihuana, and for other purposes."
Our most profound thanks and gratitude to the hemp heroes in congress who refuse to give up the fight to end hemp prohibition.

Please contact your congressional representative and tell them to unconditionally support H.R. 1866, which is in support of industrial hemp.
One quick note. It's time to redefine "industrial" hemp. The term is from the last century when the government was demonizing the hemp plant, a divide and conquer technique. Have the industrial, recreational, medical and religious activists working against each other for attention, rather than working together to achieve a goal. Those days are numbered.
Consider that medicine, recreation and even some religions are also industries, and should be able to qualify for industrial hemp protection when the legislation passes.

California Governor Would Like To Support Hemp
Richard M. Davis, founder and curator of the USA Hemp Museum recently wrote a letter to the Governor of California regarding ending hemp prohibition. (Richard's book are available for a short time as free ebook downloads on www.hempmuseum.org )
The Governor's response is below.
"I recognize and am proud that California is a national and world leader in the production of high-quality agricultural commodities. Our state has a rich agricultural environment, and we must strive to protect and promote farming, ranching and agri-business in California, while preserving natural resources and protecting consumers.
Given these facts, I would like to support the expansion of a new agricultural commodity in this state. Unfortunately, I am very concerned about giving legitimate growers a false sense of security and a belief that production of “industrial hemp” is somehow a legal activity under federal law. "
Instead of fighting for the will of the people as stated in Prop. 215, the Terminator is afraid of the federal government. Oh well. At least we now have in writing that the governor is in favor of supporting "the expansion of a new agricultural commodity in this state."
Here's the letter that you can click on to read the original. I typed the text below in case you want to use a find move on the webpage or copy and paste the text.
Ain't no stoppin us now.
Office of the Governor
March 24, 2009
Mr. Richard Davis
Los Angeles, California 90046
Dear Mr. Davis,
Thank you for sharing your ideas with me about industrial hemp and how it could benefit our state.
I recognize and am proud that California is a national and world leader in the production of high-quality agricultural commodities. Our state has a rich agricultural environment, and we must strive to protect and promote farming, ranching and agri-business in California, while preserving natural resources and protecting consumers.
Given these facts, I would like to support the expansion of a new agricultural commodity in this state. Unfortunately, I am very concerned about giving legitimate growers a false sense of security and a belief that production of “industrial hemp” is somehow a legal activity under federal law. Any person in the United States that wishes to grow cannabis plants for any purpose – including industrial purposes – must first obtain permission and register with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Failure to do so would be a violation of federal law and could subject an individual to criminal penalties. If you’d like a new law to be created that addresses this issue, you may wish to contact your representatives in the Legislature to share your ideas, comments and concerns. To find your representatives or for more information on legislative bills, please visit the Official California Legislative Information website at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/.
Again, thank you for writing. An informed and engaged public is important for effective government in our Golden State.
Sincerely
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Governor

HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE WONDER HERB by Richard M. Davis, Founder & Curator, USA Hemp Museum. The museum is private a virtual wing http://www.hempmuseum.org/
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles, CA April, 2009
Just in time for the 2009 Global Marijuana March, HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE WONDER HERB is available for a limited time as a free ebook at the museum’s site. The result of decades of research by the USA Hemp Museum's founder and curator Richard M. Davis, this work makes a comprehensive and compelling case that proves hemp’s effectiveness as medicine and a great source of delicious nutrition. The book is the answer to the call for more research on medical hemp. Medical marijuana has been proven effective as medicine as it's been in use for more than 5,000 years. This book offers some of the many chapters and verses on the subject.
From images of hemp under a microscope (page 58) to the big picture view in his struggle to grow and use hemp freely in “Why I am Suing The State” (page 180), this book is a one stop answer to the question ‘is hemp an effective medicine and nutritious food source?’ Davis proves in this book that the answer is a resounding YES HEMP HEALS.

HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION is by Richard M. Davis, Founder & Curator, USA Hemp Museum, a private museum with a virtual wing.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles, CA April, 2009 – Just in time for the 2009 Global Marijuana March - Saturday, May, 2, 2009 HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION is available for a limited time as a free ebook at the museum’s site.
The result of decades of research by the USA Hemp Museum's founder and curator, Richard M. Davis, this work presents a compelling case proving hemp’s ability to help solve the problem of global warming. The hard copy edition is available on amazon.com.
Why hemp? When used as bio fuel, hemp replaces toxic energy with clean, easily renewable energy. Whatever toxic energy can do, hemp can do better. Hemp biomass does not pollute while it’s powering everything that uses electrical current, including the power plant that produces the electrical current. Clean hemp bio fuel can be processed to run any engine, heat or cool any building, run any factory, and eliminate the pollution that comes from modern energy sources. Remove the cause, excess CO2, and the effect, global warming can at least be reduced, if not healed. Hemp is also a champion at scrubbing the air of excess CO2 gas as it grows.
“A state of international emergency has been declared by many of the top scientists in the world.” Davis said “To help save ourselves from the ravages of global warming, we must grow massive quantities of hemp all over the world to clean the air and provide bio fuel. Working together, crops can be bred for maximum earth healing affect. Markets can be coordinated. The impact of restoring the family farmers can help those who are not currently benefiting from our alleged booming economy.”
In addition to offering the who, what, when, where and how on solving the problem of global warming (page 7) other exhibits in the book include:
· A Natural Energy Policy (page 76)
