It would be nice if we don't get caught up in the small stuff but all agree that it is a bad bill that should not be rushed through for the sake of regulation. But should be defeated and lets go back to the drawing board now that we are all a bit wiser on all sides and can come up with good regulation for the industry.
I agree, and think the only way to move forward is to "play the game" and try to get an injunction against the bill. It's going to cost money, and I think the best way to support a legal challenge is through an effective fund-raising campaign. In parallel, we need to present a logical argument why the bill is unconstitutional, harmful to patients, and does not represent the will of the people expressed in the passing of amendment 20. Of course, putting together this argument is a lawyer's job, but we can help by supplying facts and evidence as needed.

The people who need to pay for this are the ones with a stake in the game, so if you are a caregiver or disp owner, you should contribute. If you are a patient who believes this is not in their best interest, you should contribute and/or write letters to our lawmakers.

I would suggest a PayPal account setup for donations. Disps can be contacted directly and maybe post ads so caregivers and patients are notified and have an opportunity to contribute.

I think some publications would be willing to donate advertising space for the cause as well?

IMO, it'll come down to money. The more on hand, the better the chances to successfully challenge the bill.
