Send emails and make phone calls both, fax if possible, our group together has contacted over 400 folks today. We can do this folks!:cool:

i have been stressing in my emails that there are alot of people that don't know about this and this is not right.so don't base their vote based on "hardly anyone is speaking up" type of deal. along with the rest of what i have to say.

good points

THIS IS WHAT I SENT THEM ALL

i would like to write today as i just learned about this bill that will destory alot of people's lifes here in colorado.all you see in the news is the romer side of things and thats so far from the truth.alil about myself i grew up and was taught respect and morals and to be a hard worker.i have NEVER TAKEN ANY DRUGS AT ALL IN MY LIFE NEVER.NEVER TOOK A PUFF OFF A CIGG AND HAVE NEVER PUT A BEER OR HARD DRINK TO MY LIPS NEVER.but back in 07 i was hurt on my job that compounded the problems in my neck that i have had since i was a kid.i went from working 120hours per week to not being able to hardly wash dishes.i suffered with back and neck pain my whole life.but being that my dad was a marine and lived by the old adage of no pain no gain work through it type of thing.which i was fine with.

but when i was hurt it brought every pain out and it gets so bad i feel like im dying sometimes.i have to be careful in what i do everyday.the doc's i was going to were trying to pump me full of lortabs,flexril,among many other drugs. keep in mind im the type of person that i have to be in huge pain to take anything.it took the docs over 8 months to get me to take the meds i would just sit home and suffer with the pain after all thats how i have always been.but the pain kept getting worse to the point of an er visit and demerol was the only thing that took the pain away. the drugs "lortab,flex so on" did'nt do anything for me in the pain dept but it made me feel worse i.e stomach churning,only able to eat once a day never hungry so on.

i grew up around pot but never did it.i started researching it and started finding the good things it does with NO side effects other and wanting to eat something and go to sleep"both of which i need very badly"to keep me as healthy as i can be.I BELIEVE MY EXP WITH ALL OF THIS MAKES MY STORY VERY IMPORTANT IN SHOWING THE GOOD THINGS MMJ HAS/CAN DO FOR SOMEONE.INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THE DEADBEAT BUM TYPE"BTW THOSE TYPES WOULD BE DEADBEATS,THIEFS,BUMS SO ON EVEN WITHOUT THE DRUGS THEY ARE ON.IT COMES DOWN TO MORALS NOT DRUGS.SO PLZ QUIT LUMPING US TOGETHER AS A WHOLE CAUSE WE ARE NOTHING ALIKE.I HAVE A CLEAN RECORD AND DO NOT DO THOSE THINGS.

THIS BILL HR1284 WILL HURT THE LITTLE PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT ARE ABLE TO INTURN HELP OTHERS LIKE ME.THE 5 PATIENT CAREGIVER LIMIT IS BAD AND WILL HURT ALOT OF GOOD FOLKS.THIS BILL WILL TURN MMJ INTO A MONOPLY FOR ONLY THE BIG BIZ IT WILL DESTORY THE SMALL PEOPLE THAT COUNT SO MUCH.WHAT I HAVE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH IS THAT EACH PERSON TAKES TO CERTAIN"STRAINS" DIFFRENT WAYS SOME "STRAINS"HELP SOME MORE THAN OTHERS AND VICE VERSA AS EACH PERSON'S BODY REACTS DIFFRENTLY TO DIFFRENT STRAINS.I E THE REASON WHY VARIETY IS SO VITAL FOR US ALL.THIS BILL "70/30 PART OF THE BILL"WOULD END UP RESTRICTING THIS AND INTURN AGAIN HURT US AND MAKE IT HARDER FOR US TO GET THE PAIN RELIEF WE NEED SO BAD.


PLZ LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE THIS WILL REALLY EFFECT. ROMER HAS NO CLUE AND SEEMS TO BE OUT FOR THE BIG BIZ,HE KEEPS SAYING HE WANTS TO RETURN THIS BACK TO WHAT THE PEOPLE REALLY WANTED, WHEN THEY VOTED ON MMJ.I HAVE TO INFORM YOU THAT HIS CAUSE IS NOT OURS.HE IS NOT SPEAKING FOR THE PEOPLE BUT RATHER AGAINST US. PLZ SEARCH YOU'RE SOUL AND DO WHATS RIGHT HERE,DON'T GIVE INTO ROMERS LIES.WE NEED/WANT YOU TO VOTE NO ON THIS BILL.REMEMBER YOU ARE PUT IN POWER TO BE A SERVANT TO THE PEOPLE.NOT THE GOV, NOT ROMER,BUT US "WE THE PEOPLE". WE ARE WATCHING AND WE WILL KNOW WHO YOU SERVE BY WATCHING WHAT HAPPENS WITH THIS BILL.IF YOU STAND BEHIND US WE WILL STAND BEHIND YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING THIS.....I HOPE.

awesome, thanks for speaking up! so many won't bother sending an email!

for those afraid to use your normal email, open a new gmail or yahoo account just for activism!

and for Jason's sake - I am not Jason Lauve.

I am just pointing at his website :)

Here is what I sent. :thumbsup:



Hello Judy,

My name is #### #####. I live in your district, and am writing to try and sway your vote on HB10-1284.

My story (in short) starts fourteen years ago. While building the joint #####/##### Jaycee, haunted house. I fell while carrying some heavy lumber. In turn, I ruptured a disk in my lower back. A week later I found myself unable to sit, stand, lay down or move without excruciating pain down my left leg. This pain after a few days turned my left leg numb from the knee down. I was sent to a chiropractor who after a few months of daily adjustments was able to get me walking again. During that time I was also given muscle relaxers and some opiate based pain killers (which did nothing except upset my stomach, and digestive tract. Plus made me slow, and unable to focus).

I tried a strong Indica strain of MMJ after receiving my recommendation in early December last year. This strain is only available through one of the many small, LOCALLY owned dispensaries. To which HB10-1284 is set to shut down. Herijuana (strain name), is available ONLY through Greatful Meds in Nederland. It is a strong Indica based plant which relieves muscle spasms extremely well. Plus helps me sleep without tossing and turning (which aggravates my back). At 6'3" and 155lbs, I've been told MANY times to eat more by doctors (mainly didn't eat do to the effects of most pain killers I was given). MMJ also solves that problem. Since December I'm up to 175lbs (my 17yo weight).

You may ask, WHY would this bill shut them down? Well, it's because that specific dispensary buys almost ALL of it's supply from small local growers. If HB10-1284 passes, this dispensary will be unable to legally buy anything from the smaller growers. They will have to more then triple their current growing operations (which is to much for a person, trying to ALSO run a store).

This also leads to my next point.

Lets say a 55 year old retired women is diagnosed with cancer(god forbid). As her chemotherapy progresses she looses her appetite. Her church friend introduces her to MMJ (A seed bearing herb, authorized by the bible). After getting her recommendation. As an avid life long gardener, she decides to try growing her own. So, she starts three plants indoors and grows all three out the way the books tell her is best. Then flowers them as she starts three more. Being a good gardener, who understands plants, she harvests the first three monsters she ever grew. After drying she finds out she has two and a half POUNDS of MMJ. (this could easily happen, most people don't grow that large though, from what I understand)

So now a 55 year old cancer patient, who has never broken the law to her knowledge. Plus attends church twice per week. Has THIRTY EIGHT ounces OVER what she can legally have. So, under the current situation she can take that to a dispensary for other patients to buy and use. Also giving her (the suffering patient) a small extra income on the side.

Under HB10-1284, She can't sell it, she can't throw it away(children or unauthorized people may find it), and worst of all, if caught with it, she could spend the next few years in prison!

This bill appears to many Colorado patients, to be a bill which not only causes many issues such as this, but also.

Raises prices on medicine, through overcharging of tax and licensing fees for dispensaries. (does a Walgreens have to pay SO much to open a pharmacy?)
Blocks home delivery for housebound patients.
Creates an ARMED gestapo for the MMJ community. (which again will be paid for out of the patients pocket with higher cost)
Ends many patients ability to get the strains they feel work best. (by only allowing HUGE well funded growing operations, which decreases quality and variety)
Essentially ends ALL small, well cared for (local) growing operations, in favor of BIG, out of state funded, growing operations.

As was best stated by Thomas Jefferson, "A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."

This Bill will do just what the patients don't want. It is only supported by those few dispensaries backing Romer. While (as Chris Romer said) HB10-1284 will close up to 85% of the states dispensaries. Leaving only his backers, with essentially a monopoly on MANY regions of Colorado.

Please I urge you to vote NO, on HB10-1284. It is unconstitutional, Irrational, and harmful to the local economy as well as the patients. For these reasons alone, I implore you to please vote NO.

Thank you for you time

nice letter.

I think they REMOVED sales tax from it in the Senate - to remove the incentive for any town to have a dispensary.

This bill will effectively shut down 95% of the existing dispensaries, and if you are n't in Denver - forget it. Your fav dispensary will be gone before Summer's end.

yup cause i believe these small backward thinking towns are just waiting for this to go into effect.so they can jump in and say shut it down.:cool:

My letter to those who may be swayed to vote NO:

VOTE "NO" on HB 1284!!

It is unconstitutional at best, will create more problems that it solves and is an atrocity to patients and business owners. Citizens do not want to have our taxes pay for the litigation this bill will immediately cause and we are taking notes on who votes for it. This will be remembered on election day and formal alliances have been made to begin a grassroots campaign to vote out those who vote yes on HB 1284.

HB 1284 is a monstrosity that patients, law enforcement and business owners campaigned against in the public hearings. Why vote yes for a bill that helps no one??

VOTE "NO" on HB 1284!!!!

What does this mean, not really educated in politics.

I believe that means they want changes before they pass it.

someone posted this a couple days ago, I've found it very helpful:

Yeah what he said, hey copobo, was very nice meeting you and your wife at the meeting, if there is anything we can do for you just let us know......peace:smokin:

What is a "referendum clause"?

COZigZag...where are you getting your HB1284 updates?

nice meeting you two as well. we should bbq sometime!

I'm not sure what the next step is. If this gets out of committee, it will have to be voted on again by the house and senate.

We should be hounding those committee members to let it die, but I'm not sure who they are yet...

Referendum Clause: A clause added to the end of a measure which causes the act to be referred to the people for their approval or rejection before it takes effect. The act then goes on the ballot for a vote at the next general election, unless the Legislative Assembly calls a special election for it.

Go here: Colorado General Assembly: Audio

Click on "House Of Representatives" (top left)

I think they adjourned until 1:30 p.m. today. Expect to hear music until then!

I'm also keeping an eye on Room 111 as I see some conference committees meet in this room.

Trying to find out when the conference committee for this bill will be appointed.

They will have to appoint the committee:

The House and Senate May Disagree on a Bill

There are occasions when the version of a bill adopted by one house differs from that adopted by the other house. When this happens, three options are available:

(1) the prime sponsor of the bill may request that his or her chamber recede from its position and adopt the bill version of the other house;

(2) the prime sponsor of the bill may request that his or her chamber adhere to its position (effectively killing the bill unless the other house recedes from its version); or

(3) the prime sponsor of the bill may request that a conference committee be appointed to reconcile the differences between the two versions of the bill.

Each of these requests must be approved by the full chamber. If the prime sponsor requests a conference committee, three members are appointed from each house, two from the majority party and one from the minority party. The presiding officer of each chamber appoints the members of their respective committees from the majority party; the minority leaders appoint minority party members.

Great info CoZig, check out my post about the health department, we need to hit them all with the angle that the health department is consciously withholding deposit of funds or proper implementation of the registry as required by the constitution. And therefore how can anything the health department has testified to be trusted?:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
