| The Patient Voter Project is distributing postcard flyers to dispensaries around the state (front of the flyer is reproduced above) |
The project is a joint effort of the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), Americans for Safe Access (ASA), the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), Sensible Colorado, Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), Medical Marijuana Assistance Program of America (MMAPA), Just Say Now, and others with a combined reach in Colorado of more than 40,000 online supporters.

Medical marijuana advocates, providers, and patients are participating in and embracing the campaign.
"President Obama stated early in his campaign, and in his presidency, that he would not waste federal resources interfering with state medical marijuana programs," said Morgan Fox, spokesperson for MPP. "The recent actions of the administration are a complete betrayal of that promise.
"Patients and their supporters need to know what the administration is doing that could hurt them, and Obama needs to be made aware that these crackdowns in medical marijuana states are just denying medicine to patients and putting them in danger," Fox said. "These people deserve elected officials that are going to support them."
The members of the Patient Voter Project coalition are distributing alerts to more than 40,000 email subscribers and Facebook fans on Thursday. Recipients are also being encouraged to spread the word to other people in Colorado.
In addition to these email alerts, the Patient Voter Project is in the process of distributing postcard flyers to medical marijuana centers around the state so they will be available to patients. Images of this flyer (front and back) accompany this article.

The President does the bidding of his leash-holders, the corporate overlords. Big Pharma doesn't want medical marijuana, the prison/police industrial complex doesn't want legal marijuana, big oil/chemical and others don't want competition from hemp. It doesn't matter what the people want, the owners call the shots.

Some super rich people (come on 1% potheads there has to be a couple of you) should pledge to cover the DEA operating budget for cannabis for some years to end prohibition and force them to go after real drugs. Isn't that where the real money is anyway?

The Hatch Act prevents weighing in one way or the other on any pending measure not directly introduced as presidential policy or through legislative process that turns a bill into law http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
now you see why the cities will have ppl marching in them right up til and after elections. Obama lost my vote, http://www.garyjohnson.com/iss...
My only problem is that if we vote the democrats out of office it turns the economy back over to the people that took it from being in the the black to where we are in 8 years.
And if anyone thinks the Republicans will change the policy on marijuana they are fooling themselves. They represent the 1% that want hemp kept off the market.
That's the fear that got Obama elected. Then he betrayed the base that gave him the presidency. Not only marijuana reformers and consumers - but all who wanted him to end the foreign wars.
I'm not going that route again. Both parties are bought by the corporations/wealthy.
I'm voting for Gary Johnson.
Open your damned minds & THINK for a minute people sincehttp://weedtracker.com/cannabi...WHERE IS ANY OFFICIAL NOTICE THE PRESIDENT OR AG HOLDER'S ABOVE POSITION HAS CHANGED???
THERE ARE NONE FOR IT HASN'T...
HORWOOD ADMITS BELOW THEIR UNAUTHORIZED CONDUCT IS NOTHING SHORT OF VIGILANTISM!
AMENDMENT 20 DEMANDS EVERY MEMBER OF STATE & COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPOWERED BY THE COLORADO CONSTITUTION USE EVERY METHOD AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO ENSURE CITIZENS CONDUCTING THEMSELVES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF STATE LAWS ARE FREE FROM FEAR OF THESE POWER DRUNK SEDITIOUS ZEALOTS
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...WASHINGTON -- U.S. attorneys have a message for California's medical marijuana advocates: Don't blame Barack Obama. After it was announced that the crackdown on medical pot establishments in the Golden State was a collective decision by the four U.S. attorneys in California and not the result of any directive from Washington, spokeswoman Lauren Horwood emphasized that the administration never even green-lighted the ramped-up enforcement actions.
The only D.C.-based official with whom California U.S. attorneys coordinated, Horwood said, was Deputy Attorney General James Cole, who was chosen by Attorney General Eric Holder, an Obama appointee.
"He's the one who provided the quote for our press release, and he's chosen by Eric Holder," Horwood told HuffPost in an interview. "But we didn't have direct talks with Eric Holder -- not that we wouldn't, he's been out and visited -- but just the way the Department of Justice works, he's not that hands-on on these kinds of details."
An article by Phoenix Times reporter Ray Stern claimed Horwood acknowledged that California's U.S. attorneys received "Obama's blessing" in implementing the crackdown. But in an interview with The Huffington Post, Horwood, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner in California's Eastern District, distanced herself from that language.
"What I said, or at least meant to say, was that the U.S. Attorneys in California saw the need for coordinated enforcement actions and spoke with folks in Main Justice in D.C. (not the Obama Administration)," she told HuffPost in an email.
Cole declined to attend any California press conferences on the issue not, Horwood insisted, because he was distancing himself from the crackdown, but because California is a long way to travel.
yes...the instigaters are the "Infamous 4" state attorneys,here in cali. hopefully all can learn a lesson from this.....
I wish this wasn't just a Colorado measure. The Administration is going after MMJ programs federally so all programs are being threatened to not create programs that work for the state. Let's push this awareness beyond just Colorado and get supporters from ALL MMJ states to participate in this.
People keep giving Obama a break on this, as if the DOJ doesn't serve at the pleasure of the President. Obama is currently getting, and expecting much more, contributions from Big Rx. If people use cannabis, there will be less reason for them to use the very profitable opiates. Pharmaceutical companies are well aware they can't make anything like the money off cannabis they currently make off opiates. You want Obama on your side you are going to have to outbid big pharmaceutical -- or vote Gary Johnson 2012. http://www.opensecrets.org/ind...
I plan on voting for Mr. Johnson and have been trying to recruit other voters as well. There's a petition to get him on the Daily Show for some much needed exposure.
Gary Johnson has my vote, not lying Obama or the repub clowns...or in other words, Big Pharma..thanks Dan, spot on!
