Dear friends,<\/p>\n
Terrific news! U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Department of Justice (DOJ), is currently reviewing my request to amend the RAVE Act! I\u2019ve asked her to make the enforcement of the law clear so that event producers who take common-sense safety measures are no longer put at risk of prosecution. If she acts, this would be real progress toward keeping young people at festivals safe.<\/p>\n
On April 27th, my two U.S. Senators, Senator Tim Kaine and Senator Mark Warner, jointly sent my request to Attorney General Lynch for consideration. Although a little too soon (at least by government standards!) to have received a response from DOJ, I do expect to hear something within the next few weeks. The Senators have each assured me that they will continue to monitor the status of my request.<\/p>\n
I want you to know that I am encouraged and uplifted by the strength of support that the Amend the RAVE Act (ATRA) campaign has received. As of today, we have gathered 14,867 signatures in just twenty-two months! Our extensive list of names clearly demonstrates that this is a significant issue to literally thousands of people.<\/p>\n
