Tattoothebaby: At-Home Activism for Proposition 19

Ways to Activity support Proposition 19,
from the comforts of your home.

A Historical Election day is fast approaching! The great state of California is going against recent government policy, and is allowing voters to vote on a proposition based on facts! Proposition 19 proposes the legalization of Marijuana for adults over the age of 21.

There are many benefits to passing this proposition, two of which are extremely important:

The mighty green (Marijuana) will generate a lot of mighty green ($$$) for the government (AKA: Taxes).
Police will not have the authority to arrest or ticket adults over the age of 21 for possessing Marijuana, leading to less traffic in our courts and a large decrease in the prison population. Police and Courts will have resources and manpower to uphold the law in other areas, such as finding, dismantling, arresting, and convicting real drug criminals, such as the Meth, Heroin, and Crack suppliers. They will finally have resources and manpower to solve murders, find missing people, keep the peace, ect.

This site has all sorts of information on Proposition 19.

Another benefit to passing Proposition 19 will be that California will be the first state EVER to legalize marijuana because the VOTERS decided what their rights are, regardless of what the Federal Government decides our rights should be. This huge step will open the eyes of other states that are not so Marijuana friendly, paving the road for unfriendly states to at the very least, allow Medical Marijuana or at the most, replace the “No Tolerance” policy with a "Decriminalized" policy.

Not every marijuana lover lives in a “marijuana friendly” state. Many states are still "No Tolerance" and will imprison a person for the possession of marijuana, even if it is just a pinner joint. Yes, the Courts will place that person in jail with the Meth, Heroin, and Crack users. Hopefully the person imprisoned has no family members who may be effected by the fact that this said person decided to smoke a joint at some point, and things went terribly wrong. (you know, someone smelt an “odor” and BOOM! You find yourself in jail and your dog got shot by the PoPo during the "raid".) It happens people, all the time. Let's not forget how many parents each year who are imprisoned for marijuana possession yearly. Passing Proposition 19 will mean that LESS CHILDREN WILL LOOSE THEIR PARENTS and VIS VERSA.

The problem with trying to get a Proposition of any kind passed all comes down to the VOTERS. That means YOU and ME! It is our job to vote on Proposition 19 and/or get the word out to others about the importance of voting YES for Proposition 19. There are quite a few ways to help the cause.

Being a anti-social person, I have discovered quite a few ways to actively help support Proposition 19 from the comforts of my Laptop. Mind you, I do not even live anywhere near California, but I see the importance of this election.

Although I can not be a voter on this, I can still educate and pass the word. SO CAN YOU!!!
