NORML’s Freedom of Information Act request on the “Stoners in the Mist” video I blogged about on Friday. Let’s just find out how much taxpayer money our government used to insult and stereotype you.
REQUEST FOR DOCUMENTS PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
Dear Action Officer:
This is a request for records from your agency under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. Sect. 552, as amended and as implemented by your office.
Materials Requested
1) Contracts and total expenditures to create, host and maintain the online video “Stoners of the Mist” found at ONDCP’s “Above The Influence” webpage:
http://www.abovetheinfluence
.com/stoners/Default.aspx http://www.abovetheinfluence
.com/stoners/transcript-intro .aspx 2) All letters, emails or Freedom of Information Act requests from the public to ONDCP regarding “Stoners in the Mist”
3) All media news releases or press material published or broadcast to promote “Stoners in the Mist”
4) The name of the ONDCP employee(s) who approved the video for its public health and scientific content
5) All future expenses or anticipated costs associated with ONDCP broadcasting “Stoners in the Mist” video (i.e., a third party under contract to maintain the webpage or anti-cannabis promotion beyond the launch date)
I have seen “Stoners in the Mist”. Amazing, just AMAZING. Amazing that they would think that anyone with a 1/2, no 1/16th of the brain of a worm would believe them. How they can tell lies to that degree, and not be arrested for perpetrating a fraud on the American people is beyond me. When you find out how much they spent on it, I just might sue them to get my share of the money they spent on it back. GOD HELP US ALL. I do believe that somebody should inform them that the demographic they are targeting know how to use a computer, and have considerably more than a 1/16th the brain of a worm.
