Marijuana Reform is Happening

You Can Make a Difference

 

Dear friends,

We're going into battle and we need your help. Congress has returned from August recess, and we're gearing up for our push to dismantle the war on drugs. That's why we need your help right now -- can you help us raise $12,000 to end the war on drugs?

Polls show that a substantial majority of Americans in almost every state want to stop arresting people for possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. And a majority of voters in some states want to make marijuana legal like alcohol. Now is the time to increase pressure on elected officials.

Can you give  or more to help us stop the ill-conceived war on marijuana?

With your contribution, we can meet with dozens of members of Congress to build support for Representative Frank's bill to decriminalize marijuana. We can also build support for legislation in California to make marijuana legal like alcohol. And we can expand our media operations so we continue getting positive marijuana stories in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and other influential outlets. 

 The American public is finally becoming aware of the futility of the war on drugs, and if we stand together we can bring it to an end.

Sincerely,

Bill Piper
Director, Office of National Affairs
Drug Policy Alliance Network
