Your help is needed immediately!
I apologize for the short notice, but we have learned that the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee plans to “markup” the SITSA Act tomorrow.
Many of the amendments proposed by the American Kratom Association (AKA) are being considered by members of the Committee, but we have just learned that the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, wants the SITSA Act pushed through the House before the upcoming August recess to show action in the fight against the opioid epidemic - so there will be little time for consideration of any amendments in this accelerated scheduling.
If you live in the congressional districts of any of the members of the House Judiciary Committee listed below, I would ask you to please pick up the phone and call them and ask them to support the American Kratom Association amendments to SITSA. We need those members of Congress to hear from you.
Our voice is being heard!
Our lobbying team has heard many favorable reports about the recommended amendments we offered, but in the name of political expediency, the House leadership wants the SITSA Act to be sent to the US Senate before the August recess.
Our allies in the Senate are ready to help, but we need to send a clear message to the House that the SITSA Act is too broad and gives too much power to the Attorney General, without any scientific check on scheduling of substances that are proven to be safe and not dangerously addictive.
So please, if you live in the congressional district of one of these members, make the call immediately.
