Then show them how the evil drug war affects their focus: <br />• bankers, corruption and laundering money.<br />• Law Enforcement and how it's caused a serious lack of respect for cops<br />• sick people, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's patients, who could be benefitting from cannabis<br />• parents, how prohibition means drugs are going to be dealt by kids with adult distributors looking to avoid harsh sentences<br />• parents, since other kids are dealers it's easier for their kids to be offered drugs by other kids<br />• and so forth.<br /><br />Like you, for now, I am tackling this one at a time. I use <a href="http://www.leap.cc/cms/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=5" rel="nofollow">these handouts</a>, and pass them out to people as I'm on errands.ChristMotForbudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470401758267964354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194774682855710383.post-7544988767492653642009-11-04T18:05:22.855-05:002009-11-04T18:05:22.855-05:00Your response "But I'm having a tough tim...Your response "But I'm having a tough time reaching them (in all definitions of the word)" ChristiansAgainstProhibition doesn't surprise me, sad to say. Would love to have that single moment of recognition, that ah ha! that would put this movement over the top. <br />What I'm able to do is pound away one person at a time in the town that is nearest where we live. Not sure of the results however, it feels right to keep doing it.<br /><br />Had a friend tell me once, "if you want to get the word out you find the biggest gossip out there and fill their head with the facts".<br />In turn that person is going to spread the word.Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16544337064074095302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194774682855710383.post-13753842176230443972009-11-04T16:37:42.983-05:002009-11-04T16:37:42.983-05:00I signed and sent letters.

But I'm having a tough time reaching them (in all definitions of the word). I need to update my Drug War Tree flyer and create a professional looking 3-fold flyer, something that targets Christians specifically.ChristMotForbudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470401758267964354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194774682855710383.post-38510797421483250012009-11-04T13:21:29.994-05:002009-11-04T13:21:29.994-05:00Is there any way for LEAP to know how many people ...Is there any way for LEAP to know how many people actually sent this to their Senators from here? <br />Increasingly, and perhaps wrongfully so, I am disappointed in the lack of activism towards ending Prohibition. It certainly would happen a great deal faster if supporters would lose their fear and be intrepid for once.<br /><br />Feeling better David?Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16544337064074095302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194774682855710383.post-59917099572410476682009-11-04T04:04:25.191-05:002009-11-04T04:04:25.191-05:00Thx Bear...

I think for this press release we also have a <a href="http://digg.com/politics/Senate_to_Vote_on_Banning_Legalization_Talk_By_Drug_Experts" rel="nofollow">Digg entry</a> that links directly to the form letter. Normally I love driving traffic to the blog but I think in this case it makes sense to send people directly to the form. Anyway, there is no harm in digging both entries!<br /><br />Btw, I've added a Facebook button along with Digg and Reddit buttons to all the blog posts... not happy with the formatting (they seem crooked) but I will toy with that later!David Bratzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356249815391506872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194774682855710383.post-64416133560972566012009-11-03T19:28:18.871-05:002009-11-03T19:28:18.871-05:00http://digg.com/politics/Senator_Grassley_s_Attemp...http://digg.com/politics/Senator_Grassley_s_Attempt_To_Ban_Free_Speech<br /><br />Added this on Digg.Bearnoreply@blogger.com
