Telegraph: Senate just says no to marijuana bill

Kevin Landrigan closed the book on HB 1623 with this article in the May 2 Nashua Telegraph. Pretty much sums it up... :)

NHPR: The Mellowing of Marijuana Laws

"The Exchange" is a very influential hour-long program on New Hampshire Public Radio, and the effort to reduce marijuana penalties was featured Friday, April 25 in a show called "The Mellowing of Marijuana Laws," guest-hosted by Richard Ager. Matt Simon of NH Common Sense and Chief Richard Crate of the Enfield Police Department were in studio for the show, joined by call-in guests Rep. Jeff Fontas, Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, and LEAP's Richard Van Wickler. Enjoy!

4/20 -- Sunday Poll Coverage!

Top statehouse reporters Tom Fahey and Kevin Landrigan covered HB 1623 in their Sunday columns and mentioned our favorable poll results. Here's Fahey's mention in the Union-Leader:

Edwards told us "the hardest thing for us has been the fact that the governor and majority leader wanted to end the conversation before it even started."

4/13 - Great "NH Outlook" Coverage!

This 8 minute segment for NH Public Television (opens in RealPlayer) is a must-watch. NH Outlook's Richard Ager interviewed Gov. Lynch, Sen. Foster, Rep. Bedrick, Rep. Tholl, Rep. Fontas, a judge, and a bunch of college students, but the story is focused on a very courageous individual by the name of Sam Peret. Share it with your friends and family! (Seriously, this clip would be a great introduction to HB 1623 for that family member you've been afraid of approaching.)
