wait so how do we sign to ensure that marijuana is on the california ballot in nov.

Contact the Elections Division at (916) 657-2166 for further information.

Good luck.

The Secretary of Stateâ??s tracking number for this measure is 1341 and the Attorney Generalâ??s
tracking number is 08-0009.
The proponent for this measure, Christopher Springer, must collect signatures of 694,354
registered voters â?? the number equal to 8% of the total votes cast for governor in the 2006
gubernatorial election â?? in order to qualify it for the ballot. The proponent has 150 days to
circulate petitions for this measure, meaning the signatures must be collected by September 5,
2008.
There is no public contact information available for this proponent.

So let's review,
It should be in circulation NOW.
The proponent of the constitutional amendment cannot be contacted.
No one knows how to sign, or even volunteer to collect signatures.
Nice.
Too bad Jack Herer or any of the other supporters for the amendment that failed can't do anything to support this. Makes you wonder where their intrests really are?
At least it is consistent with the advocacy here in California, always half assed.:mad:

Im ready to volunteer and collect signitures pretty much, but i cant because why?? I dont even get it. Who wouldn't post their own contact info?

I e-mailed NORML...

So, hopefully we can hear something from the experts...

Or maybe this can help...Found it on NORML's site in between sentences on another bill.

For more information, please contact Keith Stroup, NORML Legal Counsel, at (202) 483-5500. Supporters can write their Representatives in favor of this bill at:

Ok NORML replied to my e-mail...:(

Hello Tyler,

Thanks for contacting NORML and having a keen interest in NORML's longstanding pro-reform advocacy efforts. Since 1970, NORML (and later, the NORML Foundation) assists the victims of cannabis prohibition as well as repesent the interests and concerns of the tens of millions of Americans who responsibly consume cannabis.

The link youâ??ve sent is to a petition in CA that needs almost 700,000 signatures to get onto the ballot.

The folks who set up the initiative are not affiliated with NORML and have provided no information to reform groups on how CA supporters can sign the petition.

Education, legislation and litigation, none of it in support of reform is made possible without the support of stakeholders like you.

Kind regards, thanks again for your interest and support,


Lee
