jamessr--Yes, I've been reading about the signature gathering fraud. That is something I would NEVER have anticipated. Very disappointing. It did receive news coverage in Seattle, though: Professional petitioners accused of bait-and-switch | KING5.com | Seattle Area Local News. While it's crappy that this has been happening, at least we've received media coverage--there's no such thing as bad publicity, right?

Washedout--Seattle Hempfest is, unfortunately, after our deadline of July 2nd. Tacoma Hempfest, however, is this weekend and will be heavily canvassed by our volunteers.

You'd also need to register them to vote. I know I wasn't registered in highschool.

I had thought about targeting high school seniors...but trying to pick out those who will be of voting age by November, from the other 3/4 of students would've been a nightmare.

And schools are funny about having random people on their property. We could've canvassed outside the property, but would've required permission to be on the property.

I-1068 has now been endorsed by the Washington state Democrats, in a 314 to 185 vote! Read more about it here: Washington State Democrats Endorse I-1068 | Sensible Washington

Sensible Washington and the residents of Washington who want to see cannabis legalization on November's ballot appreciate this support!

Did anyone think about going to high schools before school got out to ask seniors to vote for the initiative ? This would have gotten "ALL" the signatures required way before it's time...

Just a thought for the next time...

[legalizeitgirl]

Well put, gypski!

[jamessr]

You make good points, jamessr.

Will keep them in mind if we require a "next time."

Thank you my dear...

I remember a guy named rodney crotch itch in high school that was a cannabis dispensary man...he would stop outside the schools with his blacked out windowed car and sell a butt load....we even had people from other schools show up to get in on the great deals this guy had...cheap, but good weed.

There will be a next time dear....are you reading the data?? like the voter fraud...
