I submitted one of the many marijuana-related questions at change.org and it needs some more votes to make it to round 2 of voting. You might consider voting for it if you like how the question is worded.

Here's the message I received from change.org today (Dec 29, 2008).

We wanted to let you know that the first round of voting for the Ideas for Change in America competition will end in less three days, on Wednesday, December 31 at midnight Pacific Time.

Your idea is currently in 28th place in the Criminal Justice category, and needs 1276 more votes to qualify for the final round.

The easiest way to increase the number of votes for your idea before the deadline is to email the following link to friends and encourage them to vote:

Change.org - Ideas for Changing America: End the persecution and legalize marijuana

You may also want to try posting the link on Facebook, on your blog, or to your Twitter account if you're hip enough have one (which many of us at Change.org aren't, if it makes you feel any better).

If you have any questions, please let us know. Also note that the final round of voting, which will include the top 3 ideas in each category, will begin next Monday and end just before the Presidential Inauguration in mid-January.

Best of luck!
