Friends in Pennsylvania, please have a look at senate bill 528. Senator Leach (D-17) has proposed a bill to regulate marijuana like alcohol in the state of Pennsylvania. Take time to look this over and please contact our PA reps.
I am in favor of this bill!

I've served in Pennsylvania's state legislature for over a decade. I've lead the fight for marriage equality, medical marijuana legalization, and the abolition of the death penalty. I've been a leading voice in opposition to gerrymandering, Voter ID laws, and attacks on women's reproductive rights. I'm currently introducing bills improve firearm safety and legalize and regulate marijuana in the Commonwealth. I also know 17,319 knock-knock jokes. I'll be answering questions starting at 2:45pm.
I can answer questions about 1) the unique political makeup of Pennsylvania, 2) obstacles faced passing progressive legislation in Pennsylvania, 3) the causes of political gridlock in Pennsylvania and nationally, 4) how PAC money and gerrymandering have changed policy-making and politics in the last decade, and, of course, 5) the reasons I support the policies and bills that I do.
I'm active on twitter and Facebook; feel free to follow me, friend me, and argue with me.
I'll tweet a confirmation picture. Here's my official Senate page, including a portrait, for comparison purposes: www.senatorleach.com. EDIT: Here's my confirmation picture.

EDIT: Hey Reddit, I'm here a bit early, and I'm going to start answering. So hold on tight!
EDIT: Thanks, Reddit! That was fun. Now, I'm off to go make Pennsylvania a better place.
