Vote Hemp
http://www.votehemp.com 

Vote Hemp seeks the full deregulation of and free market for industrial hemp in America. Vote Hemp's mission is to educate consumers, businesses, farmers and legislators about the many benefits of industrial hemp and to mobilize voters to elect pro-hemp politicians. Hemp is one of the few issues on the national debate that enjoys tremendous bipartisan and cross-cultural support. Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, farmers and hippies, global corporations and small mom-and-pop businesses are all part of the broad coalition in favor of industrial hemp. They all have one thing in common: an education in the facts.
