| I planned on doing this when I had sufficient money to spare, But I like to really know where my money goes especially sense these crooked "help cancer patients with donations" are popping up everywhere when there just a couple of guys stealing peoples money. Im not saying this for NORML but My question is , what does this money help NORML with? and its a dumb question but can you donate cars to them in any way? |

| It's a lobbying firm. Check out their website. They've been working since the 1970s on convincing politicians to support legalization. You know groups like PETA, Firearm Owners of America, Big Tobacco. With the money they recieve from like-minded people, they basically buy TV time, print advertisements, hire speakers, all to convince people. They also do a lot of talking with politicians....

| The elections are coming up. Not sure if it's too late yet but I've been hearing some good stuff coming out of Mike Gravel's mouth so far as far as the drugs game is concerned. He wants people to be able to buy bud from your local liquor store so you and your guys can jus go down there instead of goin through sometimes very shady folk. |

| Lobbying is basically any tempt to influence legislators. Don't get me wrong, even in NORML, if the money isn't spent on lobbying, it still is worthwhile, and can be spent on stuff like education instead. I just wanted to make sure Jake knew that before he made the decision.
