A Call to Action!
OK fellow BHers, we have had our 24 hours to express our disappointment, anger and frustration with Governor Lynch's unacceptable veto of the medical marijuana bill.
Now is the time to take action!
The legislature won't return for at least two months before they return for "veto day" when votes will be taken to over ride the governor's vetoes.
So let's get to work!
Step One: Contact each House and Senate member, Democrat AND Republican, and get them to promise to vote to override and commit to attending session that day (whenever it is).
Step Two: Assess the members of the House and Senate and determine who are the likely members we can convince to override the veto.
Step Three: Determine a plan to reach out to each one of those members and obtain a promise for the vote.
Step Four: Reach out to individuals, organizations and the media (yes, the Union Leader too) to join us in the essential effort to override.
Step Five: Keep contacting all members of the legislature regularly to hold our votes and convince the others to join us.
Step Six: On veto day rally a thousand folks at the State House to show them the public is with them.
Step Seven: Nail down 16 votes in the senate and 267 votes in the House on the veto day and it becomes law.
Step Eight: Celebrate!
Let's get to work!! We can, we must, do this.
