This is a petition to the White House asking them to take a neutral stance (hands off) regarding CO and WA legalization. It's a little more moderate sounding than the other petitions that have been made. Maybe it'll actually score some serious consideration by people higher up. It needs 150 signatures before it stops being invisible.

The text of the petition follows:
We propose that enforcement of federal marijuana regulations be suspended -temporarily- in the states of Colorado and Washington in order to allow time for these states to experiment with an alternative form of marijuana regulation.
We are not petitioning for a change in federal regulation, and certainly not legalization, at this time.
We feel that this is an appropriate middle ground for the federal government to take at this time, given that a sizable portion of the People support a similar form of regulation in addition to the people of the aforementioned states.
