We are trying to get an initiative on the November ballot in Washington
State to legalize marijuana. It is Initiative Measure 595. We need
181,000 signatures to get it on the ballot. Last year in a hastily drawn
up and run effort we managed to get 75,000 signatures. It was not enough
to get the initiative on the ballot last year, but it was encouraging
that we got so many signatures in so short a time.

This year we are much better organized and have started earlier. I think
we have a good chance of getting the required number of signatures on
the petitions. You, of course, have to be a registered Washington voter
to sign the petition, but if anyone outside the state, sympathetic to
the cause, could spare some bucks for our campaign we would greatly
appreciate it. Please send all inquiries or checks to:

    Washington Citizens for Drug Policy Reform
    (WCDPR)
    PO Box 1614
    Renton, WA  98057

I'll keep you posted on the progress! I really think we can get the
initiative on the ballot. Then the fight begins! We need bucks. Help!
