| Great ad, thats the kind of campaign that needs to take place to change people's attitudes about MJ and the benefits of Medical MJ . I hope to see more ads like that in the future and actually see them on the tv rather than me having to go online to find it. |

| The Federal law will change when a majority of the Congress, the Senate, and the President vote in favor of a change. Any Federal law can be changed by a majority of Congresspersons (218, Senators (51), and the President (1). What if each interested person spent five minutes making sure his or her Congressperson, Senators, and President vote for the changes he or she wanted? You don’t have to travel or organize a rally or spend much money (just a few bucks for stamps). What it’s going to take is a steady stream of letters to each Congressperson, each Senator, and the President. Here’s a template for a friendly, supportive letter to a Congressperson, Senator, State Representative, etc. This is the kind of letter that will get their attention, because it comes across as the friendly, tax-paying citizens that most people are. Letters that are rude or too stoney aren’t going to have nearly the impact that a friendly, supportive approach will get (So it's a good idea to steer clear of the “Dear Dude, we all have, like, the inalienable right to, you know, do whatever…” approach). Something like the following is a good start: 1) Go to https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml to get the name and address of your Congressperson. This will take less than a minute. Do it now and you’ll have it out of the way. 2) Write the letter. You can make it look like the one below or any way you like; this is just a sample. Spend at least two or three minutes on it, check the spelling, and read it out loud to yourself to see if it makes sense. (Do this while your in a sensible frame of mind,). You don’t have to be a great writer; just stick to the point and keep it short, i.e, not more than one page. 3) Find friend to write a letter, too. Share this material with him or her at your next get together. 4) Repeat the process at least once a week. Make it your personal mission to do two things: Get a letter like this into the hands of your Congressperson, each Senator, and the President, every month (that’s four letters a month), and get some friends to do the same. SERIOUS NOTE from the world of politics: It only takes a dozen letters to create the impression of significant public interest; an elected official getting a dozen letters a week will really feel the public presence. Here’s the sample letter. Your Name Your Address Your City State and ZIP January 99, 2008 The Honorable Name of Congressperson / Senator / etc. Address x_https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml Dear Congressman/Congresswoman/Senator LastName: I am writing to ask you to <whatever it is you want him or her to do>. Thanks for your time, and keep up the great work! Sincerely, Your Name The Prohibitionists say marijuana leads to lack of motivation. Is it true, or will a few interested folks take this on and actually get this process moving? To see a short film about the process, check out School house rock, “I’m just a bill.” [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEJL2Uuv-oQ"]Most[/url] of all, be sure to let them know this issue is important to you and it will help determine how you vote in future elections. *You only have one. You also have two Senators. You can call them and ask them to sponsor companion legislation to Barney Frank’s HR5843 to end federal penalties for personal marijuana possession. |
