One last try

Yes, CM, talk to Corry about setting up a legal defense fund to protect members of an association to include patients, caregivers, dispensaries and edible mfgrs. if members get arrested, or for injunctions to prevent closers, constitutional objections, etc. it assures there's an atty available to defend / support us.

Thanks everybody and I am encouraged. Just think if 200 dispensaries kicked in just $1000.00 and then caregivers and patients gave what they could, we would have a sizable defense fund to get all the actions necessary to delay and defeat this. We need to spread the word and get as many people on board as possible, we should be talking to the Grow Shops and other business that benefit from our industry also and get them on board. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I am not sure if this will help but I run allmmj.com and can set up a forum or something for all of us to share contact info and other info. I have it set up so you can start PMing right away since that seems to be an issue on some boards.

I have been in Brazil for a couple of months so the site is a little slow in terms of traffic but we can do whatever the cause calls for over there without any intervention.

Steve, what your trying to do is admirable and I was wondering if you considered using a programm like skype or even ventrillo to help organize people.

With life in general, health issues, and the fact that this forum does not give us the opportunity to communicate easily having one of these free programs could help confrence calls. If we can all atleast have a back and forth conversation, perhaps, just perhaps, we could become organized.

Just a thought.

That's a great idea, although, outside of my comfort zone, I am LOSR on computers. If we had a "tech person" that would be dope.

My only thought is that even though we're going to do this PEACEFULLY

I MUCH prefer the interaction and privacy of an in person meeting.

Maybe a certain core of 4-10 meets in person and then later we have a video conference where anyone and everyone can get the scoop and make the moves that NEED to be made?

The more ideas we throw out the better! COME ON Y'ALL!!!! :thumbsup:

GM, sounds like a plan. I would love to be at a meeting with you guys. Any of us who want to attend should meet in person first, BEFORE the day of the meeting, and throw it down.

Here's where I am at. A LOT of people have NO clue as to what's going on. We're all so BUSY, another part of "the man's" plan that getting together seems impossible. It's not. I'll miss out on sleep, I'll sacrifice whatever it takes. I'm ALL IN. Not all of us want to do that, or can do that, but we can spread the word. THAT is what we need. Word spreaders.

We need to go to EVERY dispensary and let them know what is coming and what we envision. We will need a place where those who are interested can go to ask questions. We should print up a SIMPLE (K.I.S.S. is a great motto for when you rally up the public) sheet that discusses the issues and why they MUST get involved. Do we have salesmen on here?

What if every dispensary, for one day kicked us a percentage of something i.e total profits, profits from certain strains they sell. We also NEED the owners to inform their peoples of what's up, and how it's all about to go down the tubes. Let's mention how our protected records aren't going to be protected anymore (if that has been changed, please correct me) THAT should open eyes!!! Y'all want the feds up in your business?

It starts with a few, and they MUST be passionate, people ride your enthusiasm, so if you're not enthused, then you should have a "behind the desk" job. At that is PERFECT. We need those people too.

So, how about a ONE day sale, mid-June, (so we got 5 weeks) for EVERYONE we can round up, and we (and everyone who's eyes we can open in these 5 weeks) all spend as much as we can that day (save up if you can) and the dispensaries donate as much as they can (I have a feeling we're going to see SOME cool donations) and from that, we will have the money needed to make us LEGIT and a force.

By that point, a LOT of people are going to feel EMPOWERED, which they are not feeling right now, in fact, it's the opposite, and then, with proper management, we WILL be a POWER.

We need a name and a logo, and we should submit ideas for a vote among active members. That alone makes a huge difference. I have connects to the top of NORML (Not sure if that will matter) and connects to do accounting and even turn this into a 501(c)3 if we so choose. And I have this heart, and it's beating like a freight train.

This is OURS. We are fighting for what is PROMISED TO US. We're NOT taking anything. We've been ROBBED of our birthright by a few who would reject the will of the people.

That is Un-American, that is Un-Coloradan. That is treachery.

"That a Government of The People, By the People, and FOR the People, shall NOT perish from this earth". :thumbsup:

Godspeed.

Quickly, if you responded to me, and I didn't address you, please forgive me, time is limited at this point but...

HELL TO THE YES I NEED you involved.

Like we teach our 4 home schooled children, "We have wants, and we have needs, there is a DIFFERENCE!!"

I need you guys, the cause needs you, Colorado needs you, America needs, you, Your Constitutions NEED you, our lovely plant that they would have eradicated by now unless others had FOUGHT, NEEDS you, the sick and the future sick, NEED you. You NEED your herb, and if we don not stand up, well, you see how they're taking all the ground that the WILL of the people established.

What about an auction? Glass pieces that are donated from various shops Who in turn would get a LOT more business from us, RIGHT? We MUST support those who support the cause. The others NEED to go away. It's the blind who are in great part to blame for all this mess, ON BOTH SIDES!

We don't need to have it on hand, but what about Gift Certificates from different places? What if we could get the boys at Deltai9 to throw out a few batches of their "Banner" for auction? What would that get? Folks, we have MULTI-MILLIONAIRES who are patients, who are finding relief from the medicine GOD intended, and they don't want to go back to the streets any more (maybe less) than you do. What if they could donate money so that WE fight for them, AND they could get a little product that they most likely would NEVER hear about? How would that affect Delta's business? Can you see how it can happen? Possibilities. Possibilities.

The ideas to raise money are endless. I've done this quite a few times, raising money up out of nothing for a cause. NEVER on this level of course, but when RIGHTEOUSNESS is involved (Big word for me, no religious meaning in this context) and you combine that with a dedication of the heart and will that cannot be bent or broken, then, and RIGHT THEN, the outcome is inevitable. WE WILL OVERCOME. Let's spin this up!!!

peace.

[ottistoys]

If any type of paper work needs to go to the disp.I am free to deliver to as many as needed.

[lampost]

Damn Steve, you really do got a lot of good ideas!

And Feijao have you thought about making a patient/caregiver connection forum? I think that would become even more relevant after the passing of this bill.

Great!

We need an organization name and what we are all about to add to the website.

Any suggestions?
