Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:18:08 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Decriminalization campaign announces prominent endorsers Marijuana Policy Project Marijuana Policy Project Alert September 16, 2008 Dear Franklin Perez: Yesterday, the Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy (CSMP) released a list of prominent endorsers of the marijuana decriminalization initiative that will appear on Massachusetts' November 4 ballot including a former first attorney general, legislators, and public health experts. Would you please consider donating $10 or more today to CSMP today so the campaign has the resources to keep this momentum going? Prominent endorsers of the initiative announced yesterday include: Tom Kiley, Massachusetts' first assistant attorney generalSergeant Howard Donohue, a 33-year veteran of the Boston Police DepartmentLieutenant Thomas W. Nolan, a 30-year veteran of the Boston Police Department, now a professor at Boston UniversityDr. Robert Meenan, dean of the Boston University School of Public HealthLester Grinspoon, M.D., associate professor emeritus of psychiatry at Harvard Medical SchoolJeffrey Miron, Ph.D, senior lecturer in the Harvard University Department of EconomicsMassachusetts state Sen. Patricia Jehlen (D), chair of the Joint Committee on Elder Affairs and vice-chair of the Joint Committee on State Administration and Regulatory OversightMassachusetts state Rep. Frank Smizik (D), chair of the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and AgricultureJohn H. Halpern, M.D., assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical SchoolCharles Barron, professor at Boston College School of LawACLU of Massachusettsthe Union of Minority Neighborhoods Meanwhile, the opposition, which is composed of the usual suspects district attorneys, sheriffs, and police chiefs has made a cornerstone of its opposition the allegation that the initiative is somehow outside of the mainstream ... which these endorsements belie. There are only seven weeks left to go until Election Day when Massachusetts voters will have the chance to remove the threat of arrest or jail for possessing an ounce or less of marijuana, replacing it with a $100 fine and your help is needed for this final stretch. Would you please consider donating $10 or more today to the campaign to help push it to victory? As always, thank you for anything you can do to help. Sincerely, Rob Kampia Executive Director Marijuana Policy Project Washington, D.C. P.S.
