Obama's new web 2.0 site and Marijuana Activism - ACT NOW!!

[Psilocybe Sativa]

It might be posted in the activism section and if so, I don't really care. LOL, this place gets far more traffic than that forum. Also, if this has already been posted, STICKY IT for the next 17 hours. VOTE!!!!

An effort being led by members of Shroomery, Dailykos, Grasscity, Marijuana.com, and other notable websites is currently under way to push for a marijuana related issue to reach the top of Obama's new Web 2.0 policy website. On this website, users can ask questions, and the top questions will likely get answered by Obama and his staff. Up to this point, there has been very little organized involvement on issues on Obama's new site. However, marijuana activists are some of the first ones to make a strong push to get their voices heard. This Marijuana related question went from 200 votes to 1600 and went from question #240 to question #11 in just a day. With more activism, this issue can be front and center on Obama's official website, change.org.

To be a PART of this news, I urge all of you to do the following:

1) Go to Change.gov: The Obama-Biden Transition Team | Open for Questions (http://change.gov/page/content/openforquestions) and register. It is very easy, you don't even need to check your email to verify.

2) Now go to the page two (or, if by the time you read this, if it is on the front page, page 1) and vote this question up:

"Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?"

3) Watch as it climbs to the front page, and wait for Obama's answers.

4) Post on ALL other marijuana forums and email it to friends who care about this issue.

Enjoy watching Obama answer this question and feel good about your political involvement.

Thanks buddy, I was number 3358 or something! It was fifth on the list of questions. But then again the first one had to do with headlights, so go figure. Maybe if enough Americans stand up he'll have to address the issue!

It's now the TOP question on their site with over 6,000 positive votes. I will also point out that on the first page it has the best ratio of likes/dislikes. Woot! thanks for voting!

I was number 6,250 on that one. Then also on the first page at the bottom I was number 2,480 to vote for the one about the feds getting off the medical users backs.

I'm so hopefull that he doesn't just brush this one off to the side with some bs answer that doesn't do a damn thing.

Glad to see that medical marijuana is still topping the list.

Good work boys. If I was American, I would be telling all my friends about this and get it to number one! This could be the straw that broke the camel's back!

[Reefer Rogue]

Number 1 :)

Hell yah! We did it. It was the number one question. Now there's no way obama can sidestep this question like he managed to do throughout the two year campaign. I just hope we don't hear some ideological rhetoric that NIDA or the FDA gave him. Let's hear some reason from the top brass for once.

This was just "Round 1"! Now all the #1s get to "duke it out" among themselves! Now we go up against "ending the war", "battered women", "failing schools" and "the environment" and all the other #1s! Only the top 10 will make it to Obama's desk!

We won a BATTLE, kids- Not the war!

Now it gets serious! Now, we have to double our efforts! But now, we have a chance! :thumbsup:


Keep an eye out for "Round 2"! Post it everywhere as soon as it comes out! "Hassle" your friends to vote! We CAN do this! :jointsmile:

Granny :hippy:
