I am writing to you today as a constituent to highlight the critical role that the American hemp industry plays in our community’s economic survival.
As we move into 2026, the hemp industry has proven itself as a $28.4 billion powerhouse that supports over 320,000 American jobs. In states like ours, hemp isn't just a crop; it's a lifeline for family farms and a driver for local retail. Beyond the fields, this industry supports a massive supply chain of truckers, packaging manufacturers, and independent lab services.
We have not even reached the "peak" of this industry. While the wellness market is strong, the industrial sector—producing sustainable textiles, bio-plastics, and carbon-smart building materials—is projected to reach $17 billion by 2030. I urge you to support policies that allow this industry to flourish rather than restrictive bans that would pull the rug out from under our farmers.

Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I am a constituent calling from [City/Zip Code]. I’m calling to urge the Senator/Representative to protect the American hemp industry.
Did you know that in 2026, over 156 million Americans now use hemp products? That is more people than the total number of votes cast in the 2020 Presidential election. This is a mainstream industry that serves more people than almost any other single voting bloc. We have lived with legal hemp for eight years since the 2018 Farm Bill, and it has become a staple for veterans and seniors in our district. I am asking the Member to stand with these millions of voters and oppose any new federal bans or restrictive 'total THC' caps. Can I count on the Member to protect our hemp rights?
Your Federal Senators and Federal Representative
