Sac County patients need your help. Please help us lift the ban and restore access!

Please Forward Widely!

Greetings All,

CAMPAIGN STATUS UPDATE:

• Over 10,000 signatures gathered
• Dozens of paid signature gatherers started working on PARMCA this week!
• We have raised nearly $70,000 to pay for signatures. We need a little over $30k more.
• We have over 150 volunteers helping with the effort.
• Over a dozen local collective groups have made generous donations to our campaign. 
• Over a hundred individuals have donated to our campaign. 
• We are meeting our current objectives for signatures and are on pace to make the ballot if we secure funding.

It is crunch time for the Patients Access to Regulated medical Cannabis Act in Sacramento County. The last statewide petition ends this week and all local petitioners are beginning to take on our petition. We have a field coordinator who has begun to gather signatures by the bunches for us that we are paying $1.25 each for. We are beginning to see thousands of signatures come in every couple of days. It is very exciting.

We have secured almost $70,000 of funding for the signatures. We need help from the community to make it over the hump. Can you help? Any size donation is much appreciated. We have until the end of May to make up the difference if we want to qualify this thing for the ballot and lift the ban on medical cannabis in Sacramento County. Tens of thousands of patients there are entering a growing season unsure about the ramifications of their garden due to a draconian ban placed there in December. If we can qualify for the ballot we may be able to roll back enforcement there by June! Please help us reach our goal.

We have over 150 volunteers working part time on the campaign, many helping us to verify signatures as they come in and some working local events for us. We are grateful for their hard work and welcome many more to join us on this journey.

To donate visit www.RegulateSac.org and click on the donate button. There is also a fundraising letter and donation card attached to this email if you want to mail it in. Information on the initiative is there for you to view as well. We hope you will help us meet our fundraising goal in time to meet our deadline in June. Thanks for helping us to restore sanity to patient access in Sac County.

State of the Campaign: We need your help!

Things are beginning to heat up around the old campaign headquarters. Statewide petitions mostly ended last week, meaning there is a lot more local focus on our petition. We have secured funding for almost half of  the professional signature gathering, but still need to raise another $55,000 to pull this thing off. Can you help?

We are also in need of volunteers to help with validating signatures, as well as gathering signatures at local events. Can you help? Below are some event calendars and we are always looking for other great places, so let us know if we missed something.

To get involved with the campaign and help out either call (888) 824-6863 or email csparc.sac@gmail.com. Visit www.RegulateSac.org for information on the initiative and the campaign. You can sign up to volunteer there too.

WE NEED MONEY!!! If you can spare even $5 it will help. If all patients who were affected by what this law can do just put in $5 we would be to our goal already. Many great folks have stepped up and pitched in and we could not be more happy. Thanks to the folks who have gotten us this far. WE NEED MORE HELP! We have about 6 weeks to raise the other half of the funds and it is going to take a big push from everyone to make it happen. Please dig deep and give often. To donate by check or credit card online visit here: https://secure.piryx.com/donate/he3EtIgN/CSPARC/signatures. You can also mail a check to the address above made out to CSPARC. We appreciate your help on this very important campaign.

Be a part of the action and help bring medical cannabis back to Sacramento County. This will be the biggest victory for patient access this election season. Please join the cause and help us meet our goals.

Gearing up for the big push...

With 4/20 hear this week, our big push to get the Patients Access to Regulated Medical Cannabis Act of 2012 on the ballot. It is time to make it happen, or not. So it is all hands on deck. If you have not begun to get involved to remove the ban on patients rights and restore patient access in the County, now is the time to step up and get involved.

What you can do to help:


We need signatures. If you can take a day or two a week to help us gather signatures it could help us make a big difference. To get signed up go to www.RegulateSac.org/volunteers and fill out the short form, or email csparc.sac@gmail.com. We can get you all set up, trained and on the streets. We are also doing teams of volunteers for events. Below is a list of upcoming events where you can help us gather signatures. We can also set you up at a local hot spot if you have a good day you want to dedicate to the cause. The one who gathers the most signatures wins a trip!

We need money. It is impossible for us to gather the 80,000 plus signatures we need with just volunteers, so we have contracted with some local crews of professional gatherers to help us fill the gap. This will cost a great deal of money, so anything you can donate to the cause would really help. You can donate online here: https://secure.piryx.com/donate/he3EtIgN/CSPARC/signatures, or you can mail a check or money order to our offices at 2045 Hallmark Dr., Suite 6, Sacramento, CA 95815. To make other arrangements please email us at csparc.sac@gmail.com.

The clock is ticking so we hope you will step up and be a part of the solution. Let us know if there is an event or fundraising opportunity you think would benefit our cause. We appreciate the over 100 people who have already signed up to volunteer. If you cannot gather signatures, but still want to volunteer there is plenty of work to do in the office to verify signatures and to call people for us. Call (888) 824-6863 if you would like to volunteer for CSPARC. Thanks!

BE A PART OF HISTORY! CHANGE THE WORLD!

The campaign to return medical cannabis to Sacramento County is going well. We are off and running with roughly 40 volunteers helping on our efforts. We are in DESPERATE NEED of more help ASAP! We need to gather 80-100,000 signatures by May 24th and it is going to take an army of folks to make this happen...including YOU!

Please help be a part of history and join in our efforts. Petition circulating is happening and we need good people to go out individually, or as teams, to local events and hotspots carrying our petition. We are doing well for just getting started, but we need a much bigger press as April approaches. Time is of the essence. You can help us to put one of the best written and model initiatives on the ballot and you can literally help change the lives of thousands of patients who currently have no local access to safe and effective cannabis medicines. You can be their hero.

This will be a historical effort to change our destiny through cooperative action. Please take the time to help us in our monumental effort to make patient access to personal choice medicines a reality in 2012. For more information or to sign up to volunteer, go to www.RegulateSac.org. Or you can email csparc.sac@gmail.com or call (888) 824-6863. We are counting on you to be a integral part of the mission. Thanks for your help and welcome to the CSPARC team.

Local collective groups are sponsoring qualified patient members to gather signatures. Find out if your collective is a part of the solution.

We will be hosting a volunteer appreciation dinner in early May, and hope you will be there. It is going to be an awesome time, so get signed up and get going on your signatures today. The clock is ticking on freedom and you are one of many that can help the people's voice be heard on this issue.
