Way to go Jerry!

Jerry for Prez !!!

I'd like to thank the ASA as well.. I know they had a major impact.
Also thank all of you who wrote and called! It worked@!

Dear ASA Members and Friends,

I am happy to report that Governor Jerry Brown has vetoed SB 847, a bill by Senator Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) that would have required medical cannabis cooperatives and collectives be located at least 600 feet from residential zones! The Governors veto comes after a groundswell of opposition from members of Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and other medical cannabis advocates. I want to say a special thank you to everyone who visited legislative offices, made phone calls, wrote letters, and sent emails. Well done!

The veto of SB 847 shows that grassroots participation makes a difference. We have some big challenges to overcome at the state and local levels, and ASA is already working on next years California Campaign. We have just finished a statewide tour to talk with organizers, and are launching a new effort to coordinate grassroots support for ASAs draft state legislation. Our goals are to defend patients civil rights, authorize cooperatives and collectives, and finally protect medical cannabis cultivators.

I need your help right now, so that we can start preparing for the next steps. Can you make a special contribution to ASA to build on todays momentum?

In addition to the statewide tour, ASA also launched a new Activist Training Center this summer with the goal of building skills in our grassroots base. And we have kicked off our innovative Think Tank and Policy Shop to offer unprecedented professional support to local organizers. If we can mobilize a well-trained and motivated base, the veto of SB 847 will be the first of many victories in California.

Please take a moment right now to make a one-time or recurring donation to ASA, so we can keep the momentum going in our direction!

Thanks again for your work to stop SB 847,

Don Duncan
California Director

I don't have time to donate much here so no I don't know what jack or munch is..

But I do like Jerry B...

The regulate like wine looks more like it is not organized, the Humboldt crowd has a even more "boutique" oriented program and there are a few minor efforts but we are still divided and fragmented.

If we could simply join together to authorize people in California similar rights to the Medical and bypassing the hot potato of commerce we could actually pass that.

Anyway.. If my fortunes hold I will have time later this year to peruse the forums. Even my own sites are in decay due to lack of time.
A job really interferes with the social life...

Not to veer off the tarmac but that avi is really funny

Yeah it's a bit of a fly ball to left field but he did it by saying "local agencies" are the ones to decide how to handle it. http://www.bellinghamherald.com/2011/09/21/2195414/california-governor-vetoes-bill.html

I read that link and came away with that opinion...
