If one million petitions are collected then the proposal will be presented to Obama and Congress to vote on.

need proof man. sounds fack as shit, no offense. I belong to several pro marijuana sites and this is the first i'v seen this. Not to mention this site usually lacks on the news for pro marijuana news.

learened two things

1. it may be a scam and there really charging people about 10$
2. May be real and it comes from Change.org. (which if true why have an online poll and then have a phone survey)

Conclusion don't call, more than likely a scam. theres several stories and sense none of the Pro Marijuana sites like NORML or MPP are supporting then i'm not calling.

I called and it was legit. An automatic operator tells you what your voting for or whatever and press # if you agree. I googled it and found its flowing around a lot. My neighbor said hes heard of it...whatever lol I got metro pcs so i dont pay anything extra lol. And the operator only talks for a a minute give or take

Excellent, I'm glad that somebody has discovered the truth behind this phone number. I myself recieved a text message from a friend just today regarding this matter, and this thread was the first place I looked for an update. I was uneasy about calling the number, but with this new info, I think I can safely call and vote.

+ Rep for you man, good work.

Now that it's clear this is no scam, I think it's time to un-xxxxxxxxxx the phone number.
