Our biggest problem in the beginning is how can we be quantified. Or another way of putting it - where was the question on the 2010 ballot that I smoke pot? So when users are referred too. The best numbers they can offer are estimates, guesstamations or approximations.
So I propose that we choose one day sometime in the near future, Say September 10. Now this gives us the time we need using blogs, forums and the such to get the word out to everybody that has, does and will smoke weed to do one very simple thing. Take a one dollar bill, write A Dollar for a Joint across the face with a black marker. Stick it in an envelope and mailed it to your favorite charity, or one of a group of charities we have collectively agreed too. Charities such as American Red Cross, United Way, World Wildlife Foundation, Humane Soceity and the such. This is something that will require administrative time/support. Hence my wanting to know about the legalities.
Now, if we had say 10 charities, and some 10 million people sent $1 to those charities. WE will make one hell of an impact for many reasons. First we pepper the news with our intentions. We also ask the charities on the list to simply give us the amount they collected during that small window of time. (after all, that information is public if they want to keep their Non Profit status) Get that info into the hands of the media and appropriate channels.
Now, we made one heck of an impact in very large numbers. AND, we look like good guys because we sent money to a worthy cause. But best of all. Those $1 bills will continue to circulate through our economy. Reminding everyone what are message/cause is.
And to make one hell of an impact on what I shall call "Liberation Day" We can ask participates to following these suggestions -
Send $1 to make a statement
Send $2 if you smoked in the last 3 months
Send $3 if you smoked this week
Send $4 if you smoked today.
Send $5 if you will continue to support marijuana legalization.
AND WRITE - ADAJ OR A DOLLAR A JOINT ON EVERY BILL
Agsin, the above is only a suggestion, NOT A REQUIREMENT. $1. Postage .46, envelope .15, total cost to participate - PRICELESS
