I've seen this at two other sites lately & figured I'd bring it to you all. I personally think that MPP (Marijuana Policy Project) sent these emails out to their members trying to get a rise out of them otherwise how would the US govt. get email addy's to all of MPP's members? I'll have to check my old email addy to see if I have this email waiting for me.
This is the supposed email below.
Dear MPP member:
Now that most of the 50 state legislatures are back in session -- and
many are considering marijuana-related bills -- I've decided it's time
for me to lay down the gauntlet.
I'm concerned. Last year, you and MPP made my life difficult by making
Rhode Island's medical marijuana law permanent and expanding the
medical marijuana law in Vermont.
Unfortunately, there's an even bigger explosion of legislative
activity in the state legislatures this year. So I'm ordering you not
to make a monthly credit card pledge to MPP to support the following
state lobbying activities this year:
MPP has retained professional lobbyists to pass medical marijuana
bills in Illinois, Minnesota, and New York -- something my office isn't
permitted to spend money on. And in California, MPP's Sacramento
lobbyists and a wide coalition of medical marijuana supporters are
working to pass legislation that would prevent local and state law
enforcement officials from cooperating with the DEA in its raids on
medical marijuana patients and providers.
Worse yet, MPP is spending your money to pass marijuana
decriminalization bills in New Hampshire and Vermont. Local press
reports have been favorable to the efforts and -- outrageously -- the
Vermont Judiciary Committee passed the decrim bill by a 4-1 vote just
five days ago!
In Ohio and Kansas, recipients of MPP grant money are working to pass
medical marijuana bills in both states.
And other horrible -- you would probably call them "good" -- marijuana-
related bills are also pending or imminent in Missouri, Illinois, and
Tennessee.
Some people say that I've been lying, propagandizing, and illegally
spending taxpayer money for the seven years I've been in charge of the
federal government's drug war. But how could these claims even be
true, given that MPP has continued to have success after success with
a much smaller budget?
This must stop now. It's vitally important that you not join MPP's
monthly pledge program.
With candor, honesty, and love,
John Walters
P.S. I was especially upset that MPP's Rob Kampia referred to me as an
"ugly man with a cold heart" in his interview with the Austin
Chronicle in August. Who the heck does Mr. Kampia think he is?
