Attention Seattle-area residents, who want marijuana legalized:

[legalizeitgirl]

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...

One word:Hempfest

[legalizeitgirl]

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.

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!

[legalizeitgirl]

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:

It was a great effort by all of you. Know you can really build on that be ready to kick some ass next year. I'll be joining the effort.

[legalizeitgirl]

We look forward to your help! Keep up on Sensible Washington (sensiblewashington.org) to stay informed about planning efforts--they'll be involving volunteers more in the strategizing this time around, with town hall style meetings.

I take solace in knowing that we're closer

Thank you for your condolences.

Many of us tried, but not *all* of us. If that had been the case, we would've managed to get it on the ballot.

I hope you'll stick around to help the next time!
