Dear friends:

As we mentioned last week, the campaign to make the medical use of marijuana legal in the state of Arizona is at a critical juncture. With just five weeks left, they are fighting powerful people in the state who want to keep punishing patients who use the medicine they need.

Last week, MPP members and email subscribers like you made it possible for us to provide the Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project with support for its operations. Now, we need you to dig deep to help us share a story that will make a victory in November a near certainty.

The campaign has produced this 30-second ad featuring Heather Torgerson, a woman whose life was saved when she turned to medical marijuana during agonizing chemotherapy treatments. As Heather says herself in the ad, without medical marijuana she would not be here today, she would be in a grave.

We want everyone in Arizona to hear Heather’s story. With your help, the campaign can put this ad on television when early voting starts next week.

Please make a contribution to the campaign to help put this ad on the air. Even a contribution of $5 or $10, if made by a significant portion of this list, could expose hundreds of thousands of people to Heather’s story.

If you can’t afford a contribution, please share Heather’s story in other ways – either by forwarding this email (or just the ad itself) to your friends and family in Arizona or by posting the ad on Facebook. You could even include a message in the Facebook post accompanying the video along the lines of, “If you want to help the medical marijuana campaign in Arizona air this ad, please make a contribution of $5 or more at http://stoparrestingpatients.org/home/donate

Thanks in advance for your support. We cannot win these ballot initiative campaigns without you.

Best,
