"Pa. House passes bill to ban bath salts, others "

My notes on this matter:
S.B. 1006, A bill in Pennsylvania originally designed to ban the major components of so-called 'bath salts' (various cathinone-derived substances), has expanded to include a swath of synthetic cannabinoids, of 2-C* drugs, and Salvia Divinorum (and its major constituent).
The bill is on the desk of the governor, so prompt action must be taken to guide the governor's hand. Allegedly the governor will read correspondence sent in on the matter of the bill. Because the bill passed the legislature around June 16 and there are usually 10 calendar days for a governor to make a decision, the time to ask for a VETO is NOW!
The bill text and info about its passage can be accessed at

Contact info:
225 Main Capitol Building
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17120
Phone: (717) 787-2500

The best way to contact this office with urgent correspondence regarding the bill is by fax. Go to a Kinkos or some office store, or if you are living in your parent's basement, you can send a fax online from various services, see http://www.google.com/q=free+fax for example. Consider calling the office an hour after you fax to make sure they are in receipt. There is probably a preference for correspondence that includes identity information (not for verification but for appearing legitimate. I don't doubt people make something up.)
There are various reasons from which to appeal to the governor, legal, moral, scientific, practical, etc.
One example of something to do, if you can't find someone important to expediently get a letter to this governor, is to retransmit old letters by important people. As you may or may not know, for example, Daniel Siebert is one of the prominent salvia divinorum researchers, and on a similar bill, he sent this letter to congress -- http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/drug_policy/Daniel_Siebert_salvia_letter.html -- which is every bit applicable to S.B. 1006 because of the wording of this state's drug acts. Consider writing a prefatory paragraph regarding the important person's status and how their letter is applicable here, and then just append the text.
A failure to act here invites domino theory among the states and corrupts society on the value of drugs (and property and liberty generally) -- when something is against the law, people are more often taught it is 'bad', and those interned notions usually prevail over critical thinking, a power that usually increases over time.

I don't mean to judge anyone and their usage but I do believe these chemicals have benefits (consequences too) and can be used responsibly and want them to stay (clandestinely) available.
