Title: 

You can be an official sponsor of a medical marijuana initiative!

Message: 

We have exciting news for you! MPP is currently in the planning stages for a medical marijuana ballot initiative in the state of North Dakota. Our goal is see this initiative appear on the November 2012 ballot.

If enacted, this initiative would ensure that seriously ill patients would be able to use marijuana to alleviate their suffering without the threat of arrest. It would improve the lives of thousands of North Dakotans, and we hope we can help support it through passage.

But we cannot do this alone — literally. The state of North Dakota requires a proposed initiative to have 25 residents as official "sponsors." These sponsors do not have any specific campaign responsibilities, but they will be publicly expressing their support for the initiative.

If you are interested in being a sponsor or know someone else who might be, please send us an email at NDsponsors@mpp.org. While the invitation is open to all comers, we are especially interested in potential medical marijuana patients, family members of patients, doctors, members of the clergy, and other community leaders. Sending us a very brief personal bio will help facilitate the process.

Thanks in advance for your interest in this campaign.
