Here's where I am at. Mark is a KEY man here. He's been on the floor, knows the bills and the inner workings and what not. We NEED him or someone like him. Although I would prefer it to be him. His character and dedication to the game and the State of Colorado are unquestionable.

As far as the website goes. I see it as being multi-functional. If/When we do the auction, we'll need bandwidth and hi-res for that, but more than that, we need a clearing house that EVERYONE in the state to go to and learn about what's up and how they can get involved. I LOVE what Lampost said about hooking caregivers and patients up. I have a design that I can show the webmaster that is already functional that would be PERFECT. Some areas can be "read only" or "invite only" and others wide open. I humbly ask that I am involved in the website design in some way.

We're almost all in Denver/Boulder/Ned, but this is a state issue. We MUST remember that the people we are trying to reach are busy, and many are not of the highest reading capacity, so we MUST get all this legal gobbilty-gook into layman's terms I know I need it broken down for me, again, Mark and Rob and then a "translator" to get it broken down with suggestions for actions to be taken.

We need a SIMPLE, catchy name AND then a logo. We need to define what who and what we are, what were are about, and what we intend to do. I'll say right now, that I cannot see how the long term goal of the group can be anything less than legalization for both MJ and HEMP. We can literally change the country with hemp. No more nonsense like Vladez and what's going on in the Gulf.

The wealthy card holders will not, like many others, and for very good reason, come on board until we have put into very clear writing what we are, what our focus and goals are, and how we will achieve those ends. It may take a while for the wheels to turn while we're in "low gear". But momentum WILL swing our way IF we work hard and keep the dream as our common focus. I don't care who you vote for, what you eat, who/what you sleep with.... If you see MJ and HEMP for what they are, and want to free them, then you are a freedom fighter, and you are my friend.

Right now, the first thing we MUST do, (Beyond establishing a small "leadership team", which I'm not sure how to go about putting together) is we MUST get to the dispensaries and get the word out to their people about us, our cause and the site. We can hit 500 doors and reach how many THOUSANDS of people if the owners feel our sincerity? But once the doors get closed, we'll most likely lose contact with thousands of what would seem to me, GUARANTEED ALLIES. We have what, 7 weeks? Clock's ticking.

We need to get a name, a website, and that flyer printed up. AND THEY NEED TO LOOK GOOD! No crap!! Second hand trash gets treated like as such. I know a little about marketing and the branding mindset of Americans. Ironically, what blinds them to the brainwashing of the programming they ingest 24/7 also makes them easy to target when the cause is worthwhile. It's not rocket science. but it IS science. I gotta ask for your trust on this one. We then need to train ourselves up together so that when we go into dispensaries, they KNOW we're legit and will back our play. If you go in all stumbling and unsure, they'll be unsure, and we don't have the time for practice runs.

That''s how I see it.

What say you all???
FarmerSteve Reviewed by FarmerSteve on . One last try Okay guys, as most of you know, I'm passionate. I'm also want to help put together what would be, in the beginning at least, a small group of DEDICATED individuals who want to help PEACEFULLY :thumbsup: defend our state's Constitution from the perversion that it is about to experience at the hands of 6 misguided individuals. All I'm asking is for you to commit to ONE meeting. Miss what you gotta miss, do what you gotta do. This means a LOT to you all, or you wouldn't be here. Why wouldn't Rating: 5
