On September 14th we are having a nation wide PHONE JAM. We are going to call Senate all day starting at 8 am in Halifax and ending at midnight in Victoria to make sure that our senators are informed on this bill before the house resumes the next day.
We have a list of all the senators’ phone numbers and emails, or you can call 1-800-OCANADA(662-6232) or 1-800-267-7362 (senate switchboard) to connect toll free to any of the senate offices.
Educate yourself on this issue.
The longer you talk, the more of a commotion we will make, and the more informed your government’s decision will be.

If you would like to get your community involved, please print out the pamphlets (pdf: c15info_phone-pamphlet )and hand them out. We want to get the whole country involved!!!
For Immediate Release:
Victoria, B.C: The International
Hempology 101 Society will be initiating a national campaign to stop
Bill C15. PHONE JAM will happen Monday September 14, 2009 from 8 am in
Halifax until midnight in Victoria. We will be calling senators all day
to make sure that our government is informed on this bill before the
house resumes the next day.
Mandatory minimum sentencing (MMS) for drug crimes, as proposed for
Canada in Bill C-15, have decimated the legal system in United States.
We should not be following this example. Overloaded prisons, constant
appeals, and powerless judges, all lead to large expenses and
generalized punishment for non-violent drug offenses. 6 months in jail
for growing 5 plants or sharing 1 joint is disproportionate, and will
destroy the lives of many of the youth this law is supposed to be
protecting.
According to Sarah Inness, spokesperson for the Canadian Bar
Association, “The discretion vested with sentencing judges ensures
meaningful distinctions made in the sentencing process, taking into
account varying degrees of culpability. Judges are [also] able to
impose sentences that emphasize rehabilitation...”. Locking low level
dealers and old hippies planting a garden in jail, with hardened
criminals unafraid of lengthy sentences, will only serve to increase
gang control.
How To Stop Bill C15
Take the time to stand up
for your personal liberty. Let the government know that we do not want
