The first round of questions was on Change.ORG (Organization) (which still seems to have questions up there) Change.org - Ideas for Change in America


This round is on Change.GOV (Government). It does not appear to allow comments, allows to vote up or down, and does NOT let you copy the links of the issues you want so share with friends (as far as I can see). http://change.gov/page/content/openf...tions20081229/

If we all support Hemp/Cannabis/Marijuana, we need to search each of the words separately and vote the issues all up. The fact that the plant has a few names could be a way that Change is trying to water down and spread out our support. Dont let them thin us out, search the terms, and lets make headline news again with Hemp/Cannabis/Marijuana a top priority.

What?

Change.gov gave the plant several names so we would have to use more search terms on their website? That's the best conspiracy theory I've read on here yet.

Get over yourself, Change.gov is set up for a reason. Just use the site as it's intended. If there was actually a conspiracy against marijuana on the website the top questions wouldn't be about marijuana.

especially considering that about 90% of the top questions (top twenty) have to deal with marijuana in some shape or form.

Bumpity bump. Time to vote again guys! Go to change.ORG and vote our proposition to the top.

The top 10 will be submitted to Obama. Let's make it happen. Tell all your friends!

Yes! I checked it out earlier today and End the Drug War moved up to 2nd place. Let's make it a clean sweep(heh)!

Final Round of Change.org Voting Starts Now!

Starting today, Change.org (not to be confused with the Obama administration’s website, Change.gov, which is also running a poll) has begun it’s final round of voting on public policy questions for the incoming administration.
As many of you know, our issue was the top vote getter in the preliminary voting, so there’s a very good chance that — with your help — we will finish #1.
And it is important that we do.
According to the website:

“The top 10 rated ideas from the final round will be presented to the Obama administration on January 16th at an event at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, co-hosted by the Case Foundation. At the event we will also announce the launch of a national advocacy campaign behind each idea in collaboration with our nonprofit partners to turn each idea into actual policy.“

Change.org’s press conference will no doubt be covered by the mainstream media. Imagine the splash we will make when the public’s call to legalize marijuana is presented as the #1 idea for the new administration.
Well, we won’t have to imagine if you get out and vote!
Right now, the public’s call to “legalize the medicinal and recreational use of marijuana” is the most popular issue on the website. (A related question asking Obama to “end the war on drugs” is #4.) However, several other important issues are just a few votes behind, so it is vital that those of you reading this post take the time to log on to the Ideas for Change website and vote to make cannabis legalization the #1 issue in America!
Voting ends at 5pm eastern time on Thursday, January 15.
Help us put the new administration and the national press on notice on January 16, 2008. Please forward this post to your friends and colleagues, and most of all: vote!
