Washington State needs more vounteers for 1068

^^ I meant "lawyered-up." Hate misspelling things...

joshdub--Even medical patients in our state are NOT fully protected by the ambiguous laws we have in place. They still need to be lawered-up in order to avoid harassment and waste-of-time legal matters which arise. The change in law that I-1068 proposes will better protect documented medical users, as well as undocumented medical users.

Just because I can't get a card (because I can't afford to go get a piece of paper with my name on it, nor do I have a documented pain disorder), does NOT mean that when I use it I'm not medicating myself.

The point is: IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE ILLEGAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Your bottom line is directly addressing the issue. :thumbsup:

Hey all,

This Friday (6/25), we'll be outside the Washington State Democratic Convention from 10am until 2pm collecting signatures. We may have volunteers who are able to be there later than 2pm; I'll keep this post updated. The address for where this day of the convention will be held is: 301 W 6th Street, Vancouver, WA 98660.

On Saturday (6/26), the convention continues at the Clark County Fairgrounds Events Center, located at: 17402 NE Delfel Road, Ridgefield, WA 98642. We will have volunteers present from 7:30am until late afternoon (convention does not have a set end-time).

Our FINAL DAY FOR GATHERING SIGNATURES to secure I-1068 a place on November's Washington state ballot is SUNDAY, JUNE 27th! We're planning on spending the last day gathering signatures at Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver, outside the Farmer's Market.

ALL SIGNATURES MUST BE SENT IN ON MONDAY, JUNE 28TH!

Thank you to everyone in Clark County who made it out to our collecting site last weekend!

Be an active member in the political process and your community--send your friends and family our way this coming weekend! :thumbsup:

How many did you get this week-end? Its time we started hearing more numbers from sensible to see where we really are. If this fails, it will be one of the greatest travesties in Washington State history. Keeping people enslaved to an out of control legal system in regards to cannabis is unconscionable. The science proves the naysayers wrong. Time to give up the myths and really deal with the realities of cannabis. . :thumbsup:

On Saturday we collected 65 signatures, and Sunday we managed 50. We also registered quite a few voters! :thumbsup:

The numbers aren't huge, but I'm pretty impressed by them, considering people wanting to sign were required to pull into the parking lot, park, and walk down to the sidewalk. And, it was raining on Sunday, with far less traffic on the road than usual (Father's Day).

If we could've counted the numerous honks, smiles, waves, thumbs-ups, and cheers from all those passing by, but who had no time to stop, we would've easily been into the triple-digits.

The response from passersby was overwhelmingly positive! Only a few people wagged the "finger of shame," the bird, or shook their heads at us while mouthing "no." I found that those negative responses made me a little peppier, and forced me to smile a little bigger.
