Libertarian
Party Seeks Medical Marijuana Patients for TV ads.
Please forward this message to any appropriate
local drug reform groups
or medical marijuana patients you may be aware of.
The Libertarian Party is looking for medical
marijuana patients who are
willing to speak out publicly in TV commercials.
As part of its Drug War Focus Strategy, the
Libertarian Party will
produce and run TV ads on the issue of medical marijuana. These
ads
will be used by the LP to raise public awareness of the issue,
and to
help defeat the worst Drug Warriors in Congress and State legislatures.
We will produce ads that can be used by our 50 state parties,
and that
can also be customized for our more than 1,300 candidates running
this
year.
While 73% of Americans favor medical marijuana,
90% of congress opposes
it. These ads will help pressure congress to respect the will
of the
voters, and pass meaningful legislative relief for medical marijuana
patients.
We will specifically target Bob Barr with
pro-medical marijuana
advertising. Barr is the congressman most responsible for the
war on
medical marijuana users. Even among his strongest supporters,
Barr is
out of step on this issue. Due to this year's redistricting, Barr
is
very vulnerable, and we hope to ensure his defeat.
In the commercials, patients will announce
their profession, their
medical condition, and state how medical marijuana helps to alleviate
their symptoms. If you are a medical marijuana patient, and would
possibly be willing to appear in a commercial, please contact
me at
your earliest convenience. My E-Mail is: RonCrickenberger@hq.lp.org
Thank you. With your help, we will end the
war on medical marijuana
patients.
