Sensible Changes Coming to Oregon – Be a part of history!
Let’s legalize marijuana – I want to see us sending less people to jail for no good reason. Labeling GMOs also makes sense. Voter registration in Oregon ends on 10.14 – don’t miss this historic opportunity!
Ed: 11.13.19 – Recreational Cannabis is now legal in Oregon! We won!
I’d love to legalize marijuana here in Oregon in a couple days. There are so many reasons this makes sense – not putting people in jail unnecessarily (freeing funds for other actual problems) – creating all sorts of job – making it easier for people who need marijuana-related products for healing to receive them, legally – reducing peoples’ intake of alcohol (more on that another time, but I see a connection) – hemp may be the best answer to a lot of problems we face today – climate change, clear-cut logging of Oregon forests for paper products. Anyway, I think I could probably brainstorm about 100 reasons why this will be good for Oregon (tourism) – feel free to add your thoughts in the comments section below. The news media mainly focuses on tax revenue – but I think that’s just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the positives!
We have 5 days left to register to vote here. And then, we get our ballots in 9 days, and then we vote.
We will also vote to Label GMOs (poison), which would delight me. As far as I can tell GMOs are poisons that are increasing the rates of cancer. By labeling any products that have them – I believe it will force food companies to reformulate their products (as they’ve done in other countries) so they can avoid having to include a GMO label. I learned about this and more in the film GMO OMG which has been showing around town. The film-makers are making screening rights free for anyone who wants to host a gathering on the topic – it’s quite brilliant and I highly recommend viewing it if you’re interested in learning more about the issue.

Both of these campaigns can also use our $-support and any time you can spare to Get out the Vote (GOTV) – Bring a posse with you for best results 🙂
Hi there!
Thank you so much for your support in getting folks aware and registered!
I’m an intern with the Yes on 91! campaign and stumbled across this image, and was wondering if you were aware that we have a GOTV Kick Off Potluck happening this Saturday, October 18th from 1pm to 8pm at our office, 1603 Oak St, in Eugene, Oregon right behind the Safeway.
Here’s a link to our FB event: https://www.facebook.com/events/337345763093618/
It’s a great chance to enjoy some good food, good company, and make sure we get a Yes! vote this year.
