Title:
OR: Help pass Measure 74
Message:
In the upcoming election, Oregonians will have the
opportunity to vote “yes” for safe and reliable access to medical marijuana for
registered patients. Measure 74, a ballot initiative lead by VoterPower, will
create non-profit medical marijuana dispensaries that will not only provide
patients with safe and reliable access, but will help create jobs,
accountability in the medical marijuana program, and tax revenue to help the
state. Sounds great, right? You want to help pass this measure, don’t you?
Well, here’s how you can.
This Sunday, October 3, 2010, in Medford, Oregon, VoterPower
will be holding a Yes on Measure 74 rally and fundraiser. The event will take
place from 11am until 5pm. The rally will feature music, food, raffles, and
auctions. The suggested donation is $10.
What: Yes on Measure 74 rally and fundraiser
When: Sunday, October 3, 2010
Where: 332
W. 6th St. Medford, OR 97501
Cost: A suggested donation of $10
If you are not
near the Medford area, but would still like to donate to the Yes on Measure 74
efforts, please visit Coalition
For Patients Rights and click ”Donate.”
In addition, or
in lieu of attending the rally, you can help pass Measure 74 from the comfort
of your own home! Calling your fellow Beaver Staters and advocating for the
passage of Measure 74 may be one of the most effective advocacy tools available
for passing this measure, and thanks to FireDogLake, this has never been
easier. FireDogLake
has just launched an online phonebanking system! Through their website,
users will be given the names and numbers of fellow Oregonians, as well as a
call script. This will allow anyone with a telephone to engage in vital
campaign outreach. Plus, for every “yes” a phone-banker gets, they earn points!
We’d
also like to let everyone in Oregon know that Waiting to Inhale, a
critically acclaimed documentary, will be making its Oregon debut at the Salem
Film Fest later this month. Waiting to
Inhale examines the debate over marijuana and its use as medicine in the
United States. The schedule has not yet been released, so please keep an eye
out for a future e-mail with more details.
Finally, the most important thing you can do to pass Measure
74 is VOTE! If you have not yet registered, please visit http://www.oregonvotes.org/.
Thank you in advance for all your time, energy, and
assistance. With just four and a half weeks to go until Election Day, now is
the time to act!
