Write to your damn legislators

Please, everyone. We live in a democracy. Our cause will never be noticed unless we make it noticed. I just sent a letter to my senator. Please do the same. I want to be pain free without being looked down upon by the law. I want my preference of intoxication to be accepted by the officials that I elect. None of this will happen unless we voice our views to those who are elected to represent us.

Will you please help us all out and write to your local legislators about cannabis legalization? This is an effort that must be made by us all in order to succeed.

Please. I am sick of the persecution of being a cannabis user. It will only take a few minutes to write a letter. Do the right thing, and convince your friends to do the same.

already wrote to barbara mikulski.....i wrote maybe three pages and she wrote me back a letter with something to the degree of 'i appreciate your concern and while i do not support your arguement, i will look into this further'........douche

At least we're writing. We must get everyone we know to write to their legislators as often as possible. (I think it's the duty of all citizens to write to their legislators about their concerns, and not just cannabis related.) That's the only thing that will boost the movement. Everyone needs to make their voices heard. If our legislators know that cannabis users do get involved in current events and do vote, then they will have more motivation to represent our views. You don't have much of a right to complain about anything, unless you are willing to do something about it. Keep up the work.

exactly. because democracy means YOU

How about one of you literate scholars from cannabis.com write a type of form letter that we can download and send off to our Senators and congresspersons...

I particularly like the way you "Biz" word things in a clear understandable manner...

They don't give a fuck how many letters you write. Once you're filthy rich, they'll care what you have to s(p)ay.

unfortunately they would have to listen if our numbers were strong enough to determine an election... Politicians like lining their pockets but,they would not have that opportunity if they did not get into office...

we live in a REPUBLIC

we vote for someone to make decisions for us. You got played, like other Americans, and think that sending letters is the most effective means in our society. It is not. You must get the minds of the people for any progress to be made on any issue in this country.

I decided because what weed does in my life everyday andbecause cannabis.com is my homepage i will do this if you say so. But i might add i think female legislators might be more in the lets help change the world while liek you said the men are just rich communists. They dont give a damn and its in the shredder.at least the one up there got a reply.

Ill also do the download one once a week on thursdays if its available whats postage a few fucks for 5 letters...

i smoke 5 bucks faster than i wrote this sentence.

Not yet though i have tons and tons of homework but come wednesday afternoon im all yours...cannabis

:Tomcat:

and for you cannabis prohibition?...

:chainsaw:

wrongful imprisonment :gunfighter2:

actually, letter writing is effective. i'm the vice president of the Youth for Socialist Action chapter at my university, we write letters all the time. a few months ago we wrote (which means we reproduced and had people sign) 520 letters urging the city council to allow the constuction of a rubber bike path in the local park, they were considering adding another fountain but we thought it would be wiser and more beneficial to the community to add a bike path....and it worked, they are currently making plans to add the path by 2009,and we are being updated with its progress, we meet regularily with the public works and community develoment programs here. take amnesty international, most of thier success is owed to the letters they write, using the reproduction method.
lobbying works better but letters also hold weight.
if i can find the letter i wrote to mikulski, i'll sticky it....as for, start writing
