NOT COOLEY: Americans for Safe Access's Get-Out-the-Vote Campaign

[MMJmedia]

Do you remember California eight years ago?

I do.
I remember being a patient who had to buy my medicine in parking lots.
I remember when there wasn't safe access and law enforcement did not respect patients' rights.
...
Unless we stop Steve Cooley in his bid to be our next Attorney General, on November 2nd we may be forced to relive that memory.

Steve Cooley, the frontrunner in the California Attorney General race, reminds us every chance he gets what will happen to medical marijuana if he wins.

He will ban the sale of marijuana putting dispensing collectives out of business, send the bureau of narcotics enforcement (BNE) to bust cultivators, file amicus briefs against us in all our cases, and lobby against our anti-discrimination bill that is works to protect patients' employment rights.

If Cooley wins, you won't be able to purchase or safely growyour medicine. If you get arrested or unfairly lose your job, you won't be able to defend yourself.

Cooley will set California back a decade.

Every stride we've made, every protection we've gained, every step forward this movement has taken, will be wiped away in 83 days if Steve Cooley is elected Attorney General.

ASA has a strategy to win.

Cooley is just 3 points ahead in this race and with over 400,000 patients in California and a base of over one million voters, we can swing this election; but campaigning costs money and if ASA doesn't come up with it, no one will.

We need to raise $150,000 by November to win, and we need you to help us get there.

Your donation today will help us launch a 'Get Out the Vote Campaign' to mobilize all medical cannabis patients, their friends and families. When you donate today, you will be keeping California safe from its biggest threat in over a decade.

Ask yourself: how important is preserving the political space we have created, how important is living in a state with safe and legal access to medicine?

Now, YOU must join me and make this campaign your #1 priority for the next 83 days. And then, click here, and donate that amount, because without your donation, we won't win. It's that simple and that scary.

Please join us on an ASA conference call this coming Tuesday, August 31st at 5:30 pm to discuss the NotCooley campaign and other important upcoming issues. We need your help in defeating Steve Cooley in the upcoming election.


...
The first phase of the NotCooley campaign is to form action groups and register patients and supporters to vote. By bringing together over half a million patient voters in California we will become a more potent political force. Cooley represents a devastating threat to safe access who must be stopped.
