Don't forget about Measure Q and Prop K...
In 2004, Measure Q secured 36% of the vote.
In 2008, Prop K secured 41%.
That shows progress!
So many people think decriminalization will never happen and therefore never get involved in the movement. Please, if you support the cause, get involved! There is power in numbers and you'll meet amazing people!
When I go to my state's capitol to lobby for decrim (and other things), I am never shot down or ridiculed. When I provide the assembly people with reading material and stats, they actually at least accept the paperwork. Even if they're not interested, it's hard to not read what is given to them, even if they scoff at it and burn it later.
Anyhow, I fully support decriminalization and will never stop fighting for it and planting seeds.
Hugs to all.
