By By Kim I. Hartman Oct 28, 2010 in Politics Washington - Wherever you live in the US -- whether you’re in California or Ohio or Florida or some other state – you have the opportunity over the next week to help make marijuana history, says Steve Fox of the Marijuana Policy Project. The MPP believes that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is prison, and they are focused on removing criminal penalties for marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana medically available to seriously ill people who have the approval of their doctors. They say your help is seriously needed because all four elections are expected to be close. Once you visit the phone-banking site, you can choose whichever state you want to help win. They are asking for supportive individuals and organizations to advocate on behalf of marijuana policy reform by calling each state with a initiative on the ballot for the November elections and have made this easier to accomplish by providing a tutorial and phone-bank system to provide quicker to the each states representatives. States with Marijuana laws being voted on in the November elections include: Arizona – Proposition 203 would make medical marijuana legal in the state and would establish approximately 120 dispensaries in the state so patients will have safe and reliable access to their medicine. California – Proposition 19 would make the possession of marijuana legal for all adults in the state. It would allow cities and counties to establish their own regulations for the cultivation and distribution of marijuana. (For our female supporters, there is a special phone-banking page designed for women to call other women in California.) Oregon – Measure 74 would establish medical marijuana dispensaries in a state where medical marijuana is legal, but patients do not have safe and reliable access to their medicine. This election is entirely by mail, so you would just need to encourage supporters to fill-in and mail their ballots. South Dakota – Measure 13 would make the medical use of marijuana legal in the state and would allow patients or their caregivers to cultivate a limited amount of marijuana for medical use. A similar initiative in 2006 received 48 percent of the vote, so just a few calls could help push Measure 13 over the top. Fox, the Director of Government Relations for the Marijuana Policy Project, hopes that voters will take advantage of this opportunity to utilize the phone-banking system and share their opinions on these issues that are effecting medical marijuana users and marijuana policy reform throughout the country. "The tide is turning in this country," said Fox. "We are winning the war against those who want to keep marijuana illegal, but we have a true battle on our hands over the next less then a dozen days." These same phone-bank system links and websites can also be used to voice your opposition to any or all marijuana related initiatives. From the comfort of your home, you can make calls to voters in four states where marijuana-related initiatives are pending on the November 2 ballot, marijuana advocates claim.The Just Say Now campaign has set up a simple to use online phone-banking tool. The site even has a short video that explains the easy-to-use system, said the Marijuana Policy Project in their latest email campaign to garner support for their agenda.MPP believes that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is prison, and they are focused on removing criminal penalties for marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana medically available to seriously ill people who have the approval of their doctors.They say your help is seriously needed because all four elections are expected to be close.
