ASA will build the federal framework that will bring safe and legal access to all Americans by 2013.
For too long the medical marijuana movement has been forced into a reactionary and defensive position, constantly having to push back against outrageously unjust legislation our movement has been so busy fighting for what we don't want, we lost sight of how to fight for what we need. That ends today.
Our movement has come to a crossroads, for the first time we have a political climate that is ripe for this victory but without your support we'll miss this historic opportunity and will be forced back to treading water, back to spending our time and resources fighting diminutive, petty legislators state-by-state, case-by-case. This is our chance to end all of that; this is our chance to win.
ASA needs to raise $20,000 in April to begin immediate work towards our 2013 goal. The reality is fighting offensively is more expensive than fighting defensively and our adversaries are counting on our inability to raise the money we need to win. We hope you'll prove them wrong.
Think of your contribution today not as a chartable donation but as an investment. When you contribute you're insuring that you will be able to access the medicine you need free of persecution. Your contribution says that you're done living in fear, done just barely pushing back and ready to finish this fight once and for all.
ASA, in partnership with our lobbyists in DC and some of the sharpest legal minds in the country has developed an extensive roadmap to a 2013 victory. Our opposition knows that we're well within the sight of meeting this goal and they have become more strategic and better funded than ever, we must do the same. ASA has created an air-tight strategy; we need you to create the funding.
Over the next four weeks, we'll be unveiling our strategy to win. Each Thursday, for the month of April, you'll receive an e-mail update from us letting you know how close we are to our goal and giving you more information about our strategy and a detailed outline of our work plan. There will be ways to plug-in to the work and we'll look to you for help implementing the plan but today, today we need to raise that $20,000 and we need your contribution to get there. Because as soon as we reach $20,000-we'll begin this necessary and important work and get us one step closer to a 2013 victory. Help us begin that work today!
More than ever, thank you for your support,
Steph Sherer Executive Director
PS We're inviting members who contribute today to a special conference call with me, Steph Sherer. I'll outline our strategy to win in 2013 and your questions on the call.Â
