Pennsylvania State Senator Daylin Leach plans sit in at Governor's office for medical marijuana.

This is my state senator.
http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2014/04/legalization_of_medical_mariju.html

Sen. Daylin Leach and parents of sick children say they have asked repeatedly to meet with Gov. Tom Corbett to have a meaningful discussion about his opposition to legislation that would legalize medical marijuana and provides their children with the medicine they believe is needed to get well.

Corbett and officials in his administration have either ignored their requests or given it cursory attention, they said. A spokesman for the Corbett Administration, however, denies that to be the case.

Nonethless, Leach, D-Montgomery County, and the families are throwing down the gauntlet to Corbett: Agree by Friday to set up a meeting with them or expect a bunch of people occupying the room outside his office.
...
“If the governor chooses to forcibly remove sick children and the parents of those children, that is up to him. But we will not voluntarily leave until a meeting is scheduled,” Leach said.

It will be a wonderful day for PA when Corbett is gone.

at least not in my part of the state.

Edited to add: I mean Corbett is not popular, in case there was any question as to who I meant.
