Joplin Independent:Free picnic reward for signing marijuana petition
“Sensible Joplin” will be hosting a free picnic in Parr Hill Park from 3-9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2008, to encourage registered voters to sign the Joplin Sensible Sentencing Initiative. Proponents of this initiative must collect 1,033 signatures from registered voters by August 15 in order to place a measure on the November ballot that seeks to amend city-wide marijuana possession penalties to a fine-only offense. They already have amassed 3,623 signatures.
The park is located off of 18th Street (approach from 15th Street) and Kansas Avenue in Joplin. Registered voters supporting this measure are encouraged to attend.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
