.@SpeakerPelosi As a leader in Congress you can help make sure the #EQUALAct gets to @POTUS now and I urge you to do so. Passing the EQUAL Act would protect public safety, reunite thousands of families sooner, & save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. #EndTheDisparity

.@SenSchumer The House approved the #EQUALAct after an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 361 to 66 on September 28. The Senate has yet to act, and time is running out. It's time to #EndTheDisparity between crack and powder cocaine once and for all and pass the EQUAL Act.

.@NORML's Erik Altieri was on @CNN yesterday talking about the new Senate bill to end prohibition. "If Congress wants to show the people they can have a real impact on their lives and do something the majority of this country supports they should pass this bill immediately."
