I got this email from Marijuana Policy Project. Biden a vocal critic of legalization. I signed the petition and encourage you to do it too. The way we make change is by getting vocal and political.
Have you heard the big news? The dream of Amendment 64 became a reality yesterday when Governor John Hickenlooper signed the law into effect, officially making the use and possession of marijuana legal for adults in Colorado.
We learned last week, however, that someone at the highest level of government is trying to kill our dream. That person is Vice President Joe Biden, one of the nation's strongest opponents to marijuana policy reform.
Click here to sign a petition on the White House website telling the Vice President to respect the voters of Colorado.
The Obama administration is currently considering how it will respond to the passage of Amendment 64 and a similar measure in Washington state. It was, therefore, troubling to see the following quote from a former White House drug policy advisor in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine:
"The vice president has a special interest in this issue," the advisor said. "As long as he is vice president, we're very far off from legalization being a reality."
We cannot allow the Vice President to stand in the way of progress. We must publicly express our disappointment in his position and ensure the administration recognizes just how unpopular it is.
Please visit the We the People site and sign our petition telling Vice President Biden to abandon his attacks on marijuana consumers. Then, encourage others to do the same by sharing this petition on Facebook and via Twitter.
We need 25,000 people to sign in 30 days to force the administration to respond to the petition. More than 1,500 signed in the first 24 hours. We are on our way, but we need your help!
Thank you in advance for taking action and adding your name.
Sincerely,
