MPP is excited to be cosponsoring the 2011 Seattle Hempfest on Friday, August 19, through Sunday, August 21, and we’re looking for volunteers to help us out!
We need people to help us staff our table, as well as people to sign Hempfest attendees up for our free e-mail alerts. Everyone who volunteers will receive a free MPP t-shirt and get to meet lots of great supporters, all while enjoying the world’s largest marijuana-policy-related event. As an added bonus, the person who collects the most email sign-ups on each day will receive a special gift from MPP!
This is the 20th anniversary of Seattle Hempfest, and promises to be one of the most memorable to date. All across the country, people are reconsidering their marijuana laws, and the wind is finally at our backs. This year’s festival is a great opportunity to celebrate the progress we’ve made as a movement, and to build the relationships and tools necessary for continued victory.
Would you please volunteer a few hours of your time on Friday, August 19, through Sunday, August 21, to help us spread the word about the important work MPP is doing to reform marijuana laws across the country?
If you would like to help, please e-mail me here with the following information:
• Your name
• Your phone (home and/or cell)
• Days you’re willing to volunteer (Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday)
• Time slots you are available (scheduling to follow based on availability)

Thank you for your interest, and we hope to see you there!
I wish I could. I live in vegas .This year things are very tight from loss of my job .Down here in sin city I failed a urine test failed from use of medical marijuana.What a joke .That was after working there over 13 years .Anyway mabe next year I hope.
I love the poster. Can I buy one?
Sorry, I can’t make the event. It sounds great.
Also, are you planning to get involved in the October protests?
I’d like to set up a tent and have a church. I’d love your support. I also want to know about porta-potties and toilets for such, permits, etc.
I want to petition every member of congress, so I’m thinking of a long trip to DC starting with the October thing. Maybe stay for months if it is necessary.
I wanted to let MPP know so you can help me if you wish. I’ve never been to DC before. I don’t know the city. Is it possible to find housing? With a small dog? Chickens?
Thanks, I really appreciate it.

An example of activism:
Last night I went to a concert at the Mann Center in Philadelphia. (RTF and ZPZ) I went with 3 friends who all planned on drinking. I volunteered to be the designated driver as I don’t drink unless I have no weed.
I was not familiar with the route from Media, PA to the concert but the other 3 were. I had been stoned all day having burned about 2 grams of Mex earlier in the day and now we shared 2 more joints. Of the 4 of us, me and this other guy smoked the most. His wife didn’t smoke at all, and the other guy drinks beer for breakfast. Get the picture?
HERE”S THE POINT: While I was driving I pointed out that “I am now living proof that driving under the influence of weed is A NON ISSUE”. When my friends all realized what I had said and and that I was backing up my words with my actions – FLAWLESS DRIVING WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WEED – I reminded them that everything the government was telling them about DUI was ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT!
That’s not the end of it: The guy who drinks beer for breakfast, remember him? Well he’s one of those who thinks pot really does destroy braincells. In the middle of a conversation, he had his usual drunken brainfart, you know the type “Wait, what was I talking about man?” I then pointed out to him that HE WAS LIVING PROOF that BOOZE destroys brain cells and that I WAS AGAIN LIVING PROOF That pot certainly does NOT DESTROY BRAIN CELLS, it might even grow em.
He was speechless for the next hour………………..
Now THATS activism!!!
Now, ALL OF YOU – get off your asses, come out of the closet and do something similar
