Instead of using taxpayer resources to go after a drug that's safer than alcohol, Jeff Sessions should focus on political corruption and white collar crime. Seems like there's plenty of that to go around in DC.

The marijuana industry supports hundreds of small businesses across our state.
Since legalization, marijuana has generated $617,767,334 in tax revenue. Instead of going to drug cartels, that money helps fund our schools and addiction treatment programs for more dangerous drugs.

For example, the BEST program receives millions of dollars in marijuana tax revenue to help build or improve schools in rural Colorado.
Here are some projects we've funded for our kids that would be out millions of dollars if Jeff Sessions had his way.

And some more.
New roofs for schools in El Paso and La Plata counties. Fire suppression emergency generators for a school in Durango. Renovations for a school in Ouray. Marijuana tax revenue helped fund them.

Your party controls the Presidency and Congress. You can pass a clean CHIP extension at any time.
We respectfully suggest that this would be a quicker path to a "long-term solution" than the current GOP negotiating strategy of bumbling around with your head stuck in a pickle jar
CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!
