Well, it's looking like I-1068 is not going to make it onto the ballot this year.
It's estimated that we were short by 30-40k signatures. This is not a very large number, considering our gathering was done on a PURELY VOLUNTEER basis.

Sensible Washington will be submitting a new initiative (with a new initiative number) on January 3rd, 2011. This is the soonest it can be submitted.

In the meantime, WE WILL CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE and plan!

We've got the next six months to strategize, and educate people about the benefits of cannabis legalization and Sensible Washington's mission.
Please, please, PLEASE keep spreading the message, talking with your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family, and let everyone know the truths about prohibition and the "war on drugs."

We may have lost this battle, but the war is still being waged against social injustice, prohibition and senseless drug policies. Don't give up, and don't be disheartened--we can win this someday!

Start considering NOW how you can help in the future, with your time, financial resources, and/or involving your social networks. We're more powerful as a team, and each person's contribution will make our goal attainable.

Thanks, all. :hippy:

legalizeitgirl Reviewed by legalizeitgirl on . Washington State needs more vounteers for 1068 If you live in Washington state, then please help with initiative 1068 signature gathering. I volunteer every saturday at my local farmers market collecting signatures to put full legalization on the ballot. It's fun and people thank us for being there. We only have six weeks left to collect over 100,000 signatures and we really need to get into those cities that don't have a representative. This is the biggest chance we've had yet and it would be a pity to not make it on the ballot. Check out Rating: 5
