Hi Friends,

You can use your phone to directly help legalize marijuana!

Our Just Say Now Phonebank is a virtual system that provides you with a free, quick & easy way to reach individual voters in states voting on marijuana initiatives.

There are thousands of voters in Arizons, California, Oregon and South Dakota who need to hear from you, and we need your help. 

Help us end the war on marijuana - start calling voters in support of marijuana reform today. Click here to start calling: http://go.firedoglake.com/

Ourgoal is to call 100,000 voters in California in the next 30 days.  If 5,000 people call 20 voters each, about 5 calls per week, we can reach that goal.  You don't have to do it all yourself, though - pass this email to your friends and ask them to call.

Each call just takes a few minutes, and you can start calling voters with just your email address or Facebook account. There's evena video that explains how to call, step by step.

If you're in an SSDP chapter, you can earn points and compete with other chapters everytime you call or rectruit people to your chapter's team. Points are updated in real time on our leaderboard!

Voicing your support for this issue has never been easier or more urgently important, so start calling voters today.

Let's make history, let's make marijuana legal.

Tomorrow, women throughout California and across the nation will speak out in support of Proposition 19, the California ballot initiative to control and tax marijuana similarly to alcohol. Women in cities across the nation will also be participating to show their support for marijuana legalization and announce efforts to begin organizing women in their areas.

You can help make this nationwide effort a huge success by attending the event nearest you.  Scroll down to see the complete list of WMM Day Of Action event locations and times.

This effort is being coordinated by the Women's Marijuana Movement, a project of SAFER intended to increase support for marijuana legalization among women.  If you have not already signed on to be a part of the movement you can do so today by visiting http://www.WomensMarijuanaMovement.org today.

Please note that locations have been added or changed in California, Florida, and Texas.

Dear friends:

I hope you'll join us for this special private fundraiser at a breathtaking and peculiar Sonoma wine country estate. 

While the cause, the people assembled, and the location itself are enough to make for a memorable time, we are not stopping there... 

Your senses will be delighted by unique cuisine delivered in dramatic ways, two gravity-defying aerial performances from the cathedral ceiling in the living room, and the chance to mingle amongst the cannabis glitterati at the sponsor-provided lounge and bar.

NOTE:  Tickets are limited and will likely sell out.  Feel free to forward this to friends that you'd like to introduce to MPP, but please do not post this to any public lists.

This fall, our movement is at a pivotal moment in history.  Legal medical marijuana and marijuana-related products continue to be growth industries, the media can’t get enough of us, and California will set the pace for rest of the nation on its course toward the re-legalization of cannabis.  No matter what happens at the polls on November 2^nd, we have a tremendous opportunity – and responsibility – to unite, share our vision for what lies ahead, charge forth stronger than ever.   

By purchasing a ticket(s) to The Mission: Winter Ball, you are taking part in the fight for freedom, justice, and compassion.  We look forward to celebrating with you on December 11th.

P.S. If you have a company or collective that would like to be part of this one-of-a-kind event, ask us about sponsorship opportunities.
