ORGANIZE! INTRODUCING THE OHIO MARIJUANA PARTY

Year after year, for decades, supporters of marijuana law reform have been
ignored by our government. It's time to change that. There's an old saying
'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em', and that's just what the Ohio Marijuana
Party (http://ohio.usmjparty.com) intends to do.

Founded by Ohio residents, Sandy Cote of Toledo and Sterling Albury of
Martinsville, this chapter of the U.S. Marijuana Party (www.usmjparty.com)
has formed a political action committee to support or oppose candidates for
office who support or oppose our mission of reforming marijuana laws. But
more importantly, we are petitioning to form a political party to gain
ballot access and run our own candidates for office at every level of
government. Ohio requires 33,563 signatures of registered voters to do
this. Our laws don't make it an easy process. However, given the history of
Hempfest attendance, if each person who attends this year downloaded the
petition from our website and obtained just ten signatures each, we would
be way over the top and could accomplish this very difficult task in record
time! Let's show our strength. This is OUR Party and we deserve it.

The Democrats and Republicans may have all the money, but we've got weed. I
think that makes us even.

Let's make it happen, together, because we can. Please register to vote and
consider running for office on a marijuana legalization platform. Thank you
for joining in this effort.
