Vote for marijuana policy reform in Fayetteville, Arkansas!
Early voting in Arkansas started last week, so please get out and vote for Fayetteville's "Lowest Law Enforcement and Prosecutorial Priority Policy Ordinance" at this early voting location today:
You can early vote at the above location Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
If approved, the new ordinance would make the possession of an ounce or less of marijuana intended for adult personal use Fayetteville's lowest law enforcement priority. In short, adults who use marijuana responsibly don't belong in jail. The proposed ordinance would simply encourage police to use their discretion in dealing with adults who are found to be in possession of marijuana. Under current Arkansas law, people arrested for simple possession of one ounce or less of marijuana face up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Spearheading the initiative is Sensible Fayetteville, who passed a similar ordinance in Eureka Springs last year.
Voters in the cities of Hailey, Idaho; Denver, Colorado; Seattle, Washington; Columbia, Missouri; Missoula County, Montana; and Santa Barbara, Oakland, Santa Monica, and Santa Cruz in California have approved similar measures in an attempt to free up police resources, clear court dockets, and save the taxpayers money.
You can help spread the word about this initiative and ensure that Fayetteville adds its name to the growing list of localities that are enacting sensible marijuana policies across the country by passing this alert along to everyone you know in Fayetteville. |
