Hi Family,
Right now there are two competing signature drives to put cannabis legalization initiatives on the ballot in California for November 2010.
One is found at www.taxcannabis2010.org
The other is found at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org
Please look carefully at the text of both laws (the text of each is finalized at this point) and make up your own mind which one you support.
I am supporting www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org because this law will protect cannabis users from discrimination in healthcare, employment, and housing. It is a full legalization measure for hemp and cannabis which will restore full human rights to cannabis users and growers all across California.
I have two parts to my plan. The first part is to publicly post and distribute our "Freedom Lover's Call to Arms" in order to recruit volunteers. This document is available here-

The second part of the plan is to ask everyone who volunteers to make a pledge for how many signature they will collect in the next 30 days or so. 15-30 signatures is a good number. You can probably get that number from your family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors without having to solicit in public too much. This is an "out of the closet" movement. We will have to proudly advocate human rights for cannabis smokers in order to get support from legitimate people. I can supply stickers equivalent to each persons pledge number. These stickers can be used to generate interest and be given to people who sign the petition. Here is the sticker design-

Feel free to distribute and use these images. But don't copyright them because you are not the one who created them.
We have 145 days in order to get the number of signatures that we need. Our petition is hot off the press on 9/11 and we are collecting the first signatures yesterday 9/12.
We are polling 56% public support for cannabis legalization in California, so this is an initiative which is not doomed. It's time has finally arrived. Now is the time to do this and to do it right. We may only get one chance. If a law which is not exactly what we want is implemented then we may lose our critical mass and our ability to set it right.
If you want to help me in any way please contact the CCI campaign at www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org or write me at deep_space_underground@yahoo.com
Love,
-Fully Committed

Re: Legalize Hemp and Cannabis in California
Sun, September 13, 2009 - 10:07 PMHi Straylight,
You must sign using an actual pen on an actual petition which is dedicated to the county in which you reside. You must be registered to vote in California.
You must also list your address but don't worry the CCI Campaign is not allowed to disclose this address or any of your information or use it for any purpose.
This is the same way all initiatives are placed on the ballot including Proposition 215. The rules have not changed.
If you would like to sign the petition you could look for a CCI meeting happening near you on the webpage www.CaliforniaCannabisInitiative.org or you could contact the CCI coordinator listed on the webpage for your county.
Thank you for your interest,
-Fully Committed -

Re: Legalize Hemp and Cannabis in California
Mon, September 14, 2009 - 8:00 AMOk cool, I emailed one Oscar Chavez who is the Upland coordinator, as I pass through Upland a lot. Thanks for posting this.
Incidentally, I wondered if Oscar was good-looking when I emailed him.
And then I wondered if he was related to me. We have the same last name.
