Greetings Friends and Family,


I'm writing you today to ask that you help support the "Regulate, Control, and Tax Cannabis" referendum item on California's ballot in November.  You do not have to be a citizen of California to contribute to the campaign.  In the coming months, there will likely be major political and economic interests reacting to this proposal by casting fear, uncertainty and doubt on it in the major media streams, in order to maintain the status quo.  That is why we need to develop a groundswell of support early on.


If you would like to see some (IMHO) well-reasoned arguments for legalization, visit this post I put up on my blog shortly after President Obama came into office:

And more importantly, please visit this page and donate whatever you see fit:

My goal is to raise $500 or more--putting up a link on my Facebook page didn't garner that much, so that's why I'm sending to you directly.  If each person who cares about this issue donates as little as $5-10, that goal can be achieved.


Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please know that this is a one-time email.  I do not intend to make a habit of sending appeals to people on my personal contacts list.

Many blessings,
Joel
