Dear Reader,
A 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.
Save the Date: May 17-23, 2010 is

The research will be discussed at a scheduled public event in which members of the media and local officials would also be invited.
