Medical Marijuana Week

Hi Folks,

This is Medical Marijuana Week.   This mail-out from ASA National details actions we can take to further the cause of safe access.  As described below, even a minute or two of your time can really help:  contact the White House today, Congress tomorrow, and Gov. Brown on Wednesday.  Remember, you can enhance our effort from the comfort of your home by doing things like this.

Regarding the national Day of Action on Thursday, we are not holding a rally here in SLO County, as the rally is specifically planned at Obama re-election headquarters and/or at Federal buildings, which we don't have here.  In addition, we are concentrating this week on the "SLO 12," as another court date is 8:30 this Wednesday morning (on 2-15, Medical Marijuana Day, appropriately enough) for several of the defendants--join us to show our support.

 We will have our monthly meeting next Tuesday, Feb. 21st at 7:00 pm at Petra Pizza & Mediterranean Grill, corner Higuera & Toro Sts. in SLO.  We will have much to discuss, including the "SLO 12" status; the Medical Marijuana Control, Tax & Regulate Act petitions; the local appeal to the Board of Supervisors for a collective outlet in Oceano, and other activities.

Our organization here in SLO County IS making an impact; please help make our efforts even more successful by becoming actively involved, both in your individual actions such as those detailed here this week, and by visibly showing up at meetings (ours and local official bodies such as the Bd. of Supes), court dates, rallies we hold, and other public events.  Simply filling seats in a room or adding to a group outside helps convince our local officials to yield to the will of the people on the MMJ issue.

Thank you from SLOASA
