UPDATED THURSDAY 10/29/09 - NORML representatives will be speaking about
the 3 raids and arrests by LAPD on collectives yesterday (10/28/09) in the
San Fernando Valley as well as the raid by LAPD last week on Craig Rubin's
Temple 420.
Please attend if you can.
----------
Los Angeles NORML Letter Writing Party @ Bruce Margolin's Office, Sun Nov
1st, 9-11:30 AM
----------
NOTE: We are extending an invitation to ALL patient activist groups to
attend and participate. We are also asking all activist organizations to
please circulate this notice to your members as we need to put our
collective thoughts together and come up with a plan. Thank you.
----------
Los Angeles NORML will be hosting a "Letter Writing Party" get together on
Sunday morning November 1st at Bruce Margolin's Law office in West
Hollywood from 9-11:30 am.
We are asking people to give us an hour of their time, that's all. More
would be great.
The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the current situation in Los
Angeles and also to write letters to Los Angeles city officials about the
medical marijuana ordinance that will then be hand delivered to each
council members office on Monday Nov 2nd.
Also letters will be written to state officials urging support of AB 390,
the Ammiano bill.
In talks with aides to council members it has become clear that we need to
start an old fashioned letter writing campaign. Many aides have told me to
"have your people write letters instead of yelling outside".
What we are told constantly is that politicians like to look at stacks of
letters from constituents and point to them and say "look at all these
letters I get about this". Apparently emails and phone calls have a much
less effect, they are tallied and quantified but letters are actually
read.
And the more letters we write the greater our impact will be.
This could be groundbreaking, getting all the local activist patients and
groups together to plan a unified action.

Date: Sunday November 1, 2009

ASA needs your help to stop Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich from pushing an ordinance through the City Council that could effectively ban medical cannabis collectives in the city. On Monday, October 16, the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee and Public Safety Committee will consider this badly flawed draft ordinance. Can you take a moment to call the committee members before that meeting and tell them to reject the City Attorney’s ordinance?
A simple phone call can make a big difference! Just call the committee members and say, “I am a medical cannabis supporter calling to ask the Councilmember to reject the draft medical cannabis ordinance prepared by City Attorney Carmen Trutanich.”

Join us on Monday, November 16, to ask committee members in person to reject the ordinance, and adopt one that protects patients’ privacy and ensures that collectives can stay open. This is an important point in the process, because the draft ordinance may go to the full City Council for approval after this committee hearing.
What: Joint PLUM and Public Safety Committee meeting
When: 9:30 AM * Monday, November 16
Where: Room 350, City Hall, 200 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Arrive early to complete a public speaker’s card if you want to talk with the joint committee on Monday. You may have as little as one minute to speak. Keep your comments brief and on topic!
