Meet Author Tom Robbins and Support the Massachusetts Initiative to Decriminalize Marijuana
If you’ve ever wanted to hang out with author Tom Robbins, this is your chance. On behalf of the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy (CSMP), I’m pleased to invite you to a VIP reception featuring the bestselling author in Boston on Friday, September 14.
This is the only time we’re going to promote this event to MPP’s national e-mail list, so please purchase your tickets here (http://sensiblemarijuanapolicy.org/?msource=5164&tr=y&auid=2891378) today.
Tom Robbins, who has penned such classics as Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, and the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy (http://sensiblemarijuanapolicy.org/) will host the event at the home of Woody Kaplan and Wendy Kaminer in Boston’s Back Bay.
The event will raise much-needed funds for the signature drive to place a binding marijuana “decriminalization” initiative on the November 2008 statewide ballot in Massachusetts. This will be the first such initiative to remove all criminal penalties for the possession of marijuana in any state. The initiative seeks to change Massachusetts state law so that the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana would be a civil fine instead of a criminal sanction.
You can find more information about this event and purchase tickets here (http://sensiblemarijuanapolicy.org/?msource=5164&tr=y&auid=2891382).
The signature drive to place the initiative on the ballot will cost approximately $350,000, which must be raised by mid-October, because the signature drive must take place from September 19 to November 21 of this year.
Who: Woody Kaplan, Wendy Kaminer, and author Tom Robbins will be joined by me and CSMP's campaign manager Whitney Taylor

Sincerely,
Rob Kampia

Comment posted by Anonymous on Tue, 12/04/2007 - 5:21amI am quite confused about the huge difference between the in advance and the at the door price of the tickets. I mean, you can get $100 cheaper, but what if you can't actually make it?
