Title: 

Help Measure 13 win!

Message: 

The weekend is almost here, as is Election Day! Can you dedicate a small amount of your time this weekend to help make medical marijuana a reality in South Dakota? You don't need to leave your house. It won't cost you anything. And we bet you will even enjoy it!

As you know, the citizens of South Dakota will be given the opportunity on November 2 to protect medical marijuana patients from arrest and prosecution for using a treatment method recommended to them by their physicians. Measure 13 would accomplish this goal.

Our friends at JustSayNow.com have built an incredibly user-friendly online tool that allows you reach out to likely supporters in the state. It is really easy to use and there is a short video introduction that will show you what to do. We know that young people overwhelmingly support medical marijuana, so it’s crucial to make sure they vote by November 2.

Don’t be shy or intimidated by this. Almost everyone you call will be supportive. They just need a push to get their votes in. So make a few calls to see how fun and easy it is -- then make a bunch more!

Measure 13 cannot pass if supporters do not vote, so please urge other South Dakotans to vote in any way you can.

Thank you kindly for your time, energy, and support.
