I hate to spoil the ending of this excellent editorial, but it belongs here on the front page:

"Governor, the time has come to do the right thing. Supporters of this bill have done everything you have asked. There is only one thing left to do.
Sign the bill."

Thanks to Dennis Acton for stepping up and agreeing to tell his story in the ad shown above.  Can anybody really believe a cancer patient like Dennis should have had to fear arrest by New Hampshire police? 

All eyes are on the Governor now, as Tom Fahey explains in today's Union-Leader: "Lynch at center of marijuana fight"

June 25... a great day to read the news!  Here are some good links:

Telegraph: "After lawmakers' OK, marijuana bill goes to Lynch"

Monitor: "Marijuana bill sent to Lynch"

Telegraph: "Medical marijuana backers out in force at Statehouse"

NHPR: "NH's House and Senate Vote to Legalize Medical Marijuana"

We will be holding a "Rally for Compassion" in front of the statehouse from 8:15-9:45 a.m. Wednesday, June 24.  If you can attend and help us make a good impression on legislators and media one last time, we would love to have your support!

Once the new bill language is approved by the House and Senate, it will move forward to the Governor's desk.  The House intends to vote June 24.  Here's the story.

There's probably no better description for where HB 648 currently stands.  This press release should provide a little more insight.

This well-written article by Lauren Dorgan for today's Monitor analyzes Attorney General Kelly Ayotte's letter opposing medical marijuana and discusses this 7-page response to Ayotte's letter.  (There is also a 2-page version of the response, if that is more convenient.)

Yesterday the House was expected to concur with the Senate's amendment to HB 648, which would have sent the bill forward to the Governor's desk.  However, that isn't what happened... Kevin Landrigan explains.
