What did your lawmakers say after you contacted them?

For any one that has contacted Congress about the November 12 restrictions, have any of your lawmakers responded yet?

We're starting to see replies come in, and some of them show how confusing this issue still seems to be in Washington.

One response we reviewed sounded encouraging at first. It said hemp policy should protect children while preserving lawful hemp markets. It went on to say major policy changes should go through a transparent process with debate, stakeholder input, and a clear regulatory framework — not be inserted into must-pass funding bills.

That all sounds right.

But the same response this senator proclaimed 'that's why I voted against Senator Rand Paul’s amendment to remove the hemp language from the must-pass bill last November'???

That is the gap we are trying to understand.

If lawmakers agree this should not be handled through must-pass legislation, then the practical next step should be supporting the current extension bills, H.R. 7024 and S. 3686, so Congress has time to hold the open process they say is needed.

What did your representatives or senators say?

Did they mention H.R. 7024 or S. 3686?
Did they support an extension?
Or did they send a general response without committing to anything specific?

Feel free to remove specifics about your reps - we’re just trying to understand what kinds of responses people are receiving.
