2011 Letter To Industrial Hemp Advocates
Tuesday, 29 September 2009 23:41
Dear Industrial Hemp Advocate:
The North American Industrial Hemp Council, Inc. (NAIHC) continues to advocate industrial hemp cultivation in the United States to Administration policymakers in Washington, DC.
Your support is needed as a member (Click Here to go to learn how to join). We need your active involvement at all levels and your financial support as well. Please join or renew your membership with NAIHC, today.
Here are a few of the reasons we can all be encouraged about our prospects to grow this important crop:
- With the Obama Administration repositioning itself in the run-up to the 2012 elections, there are many new faces in high places in Washington open to considering the commercialization of industrial hemp.
- We promoted the development and distributed “Hemp and The Rule of Law” DVD, a documentary by Kevin Balling premiered at the Asheville Film Festival and at the ARTIVIST Film Festival in Hollywood. The one-hour documentary traces hemp's legendary past in U.S. agriculture and chronicles the heated debate to return the crop to American farmers. (Click Here to order the DVD)
- Industry interest in industrial hemp is significant and its importance in the marketplace is harder and harder to ignore.
- Favorable articles by the press and media coverage continue to tell the importance and truth about industrial hemp.
- The Board of Directors continues to work closely with North Dakota, the state that has the most advanced industrial hemp law in the nation.
- We are working with the industry to develop a discussion on industrial hemp in the industrial process.
- NAIHC supported legalization in several other states.
- Our 16th Annual Business Membership meeting of the NAIHC is scheduled for Novembr 16th. Please plan to join in our discussions on that Wednesday morning.
- In summary, things are beginning to look promising for industrial hemp so it is time to gear-up and get it done. Be part of our effort.
Join or re-join today (membership registration form). A wise investment for our future, our economy and our environment.
Sincerely,

Erwin A. “Bud” Sholts, Chairman
