Marijuana Policy Project Alert February 9, 2009
Dear Kris Millegan:
As you probably know, cereal giant Kellogg's has announced that it
won't renew Olympic swim champion Michael Phelps' endorsement
contract because he was photographed smoking marijuana.
If Phelps had been photographed hoisting a Budweiser, no one would
have said a word. In fact, Phelps was arrested for drunk driving in
2004 — which could have resulted in someone being hurt or killed —
and Kellogg's never took issue with that. Alcohol is far more toxic
and addictive than marijuana and tends to make users reckless,
aggressive, and violent.
Would you take a minute to speak out against this hypocrisy, by
adding your voice to the hundreds of thousands of people who are
pledging to boycott Kellogg's products until the company changes its
decision? Just visit MPP's action center here and fill out the easy
online form.
Meanwhile, MPP has been all over the news to point out the hypocrisy
of the situation.
For instance, check out this video of MPP's Bruce Mirken discussing
the issue on CNN last week.
Please join me in rejecting the farce of the condemnation of
marijuana users — one that has already long been abandoned by the
general public.
Sincerely,
Rob Kampia
Executive Director
Marijuana Policy Project
Washington, D.C.
P.S. As I've mentioned in previous alerts, a major philanthropist
has committed to match the first $2.35 million that MPP can raise
from the rest of the planet in 2009. This means that your donation
todaywill be doubled.
P.P.S. You can opt out of receiving fundraising mentions in the e-
mail alerts I send you in 2009 by visitingwww.mpp.org/
2009optoutpreference at your convenience.
