Vote, Vote, Vote!

Dear ,

"Wow" is all we can say. This is going to be one close election. And not just Congressional races--the polls show that many local races are going to be close too. So make sure you vote tomorrow (Tuesday). And get your friends, family, and co-workers to vote. You can get more information on where to vote here. Re-arrange your schedule today so you can vote tomorrow. Make a goal of reminding at least five people to vote--and drag them into the voting booth if you have to.

Watch your inbox later this week for Drug Policy Alliance Network's analysis of the election results and what they mean for drug policy reform.

More Information

1) Our 2006 Congressional Voter Guide lets you know how your member of Congress voted on drug policy reform issues. Vote Smart is a good non-partisan web site for finding out where candidates stand on a variety of issues.

2) Support ballot measures that reform drug laws, such as measures in Colorado (Amendment 44) and Nevada (Question 7) to eliminate criminal penalties for small amounts of marijuana, and a measure in South Dakota (Measure 4) to legalize medical marijuana. Oppose ballot measures that escalate the war on drugs, such as a measure in Arizona (Proposition 301) to deny drug treatment to people arrested for possession of methamphetamine.

3) Help people exercise their right to vote, and make sure every vote is counted. Volunteer for organizations assisting voters and monitoring voting. Get more information here and here.
