Just Say Now: Obama and Marijuana (Action Alert)

Submitted by dguard on

Friends,

Marijuana reform is dominating the list of questions President Obama will be answering as part of his continued State of the Union address tomorrow night. Pot is already in the top questions - can you make sure the top questions for Obama are about marijuana?

This is an incredible opportunity to hear Obama's views on drug policy. Our friends at Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) have a great question at the top of the list, and we're asking supporters to help keep it there for Obama to see.

Click here to visit the Ask Obama YouTube page. Then search for "POLICE OFFICER" on the right, and click the thumbs up button of the marijuana question to cast your vote.

Retired Deputy Sheriff and LEAP speaker MacKenzie Allen asks:

"As a police officer, I saw how waging the war on drugs has cost a trillion dollars and thousands of lives but does nothing to reduce drug use. Should we discuss legalizing marijuana and other drugs, which would eliminate the violent criminal market?"

It's an important question that we think Obama should answer. Can you help us make sure he does by giving LEAP's question a 'thumbs up'?

The deadline for voting is tonight at midnight! Click here to search for "POLICE OFFICER" and give LEAP's question a thumbs up so we can all hear what President Obama has to say about marijuana reform.

President Obama will begin answering questions from his YouTube page tomorrow, January, 26th, so time is running out. We want to hear what Obama has to say about the war on drugs, and this is the perfect forum for him to do so.

Thank you so much for your continued support.
