The "LMP" is looking for candidates
for this years elections!
|
As a form of protest, are you interested in running for office under the "Legalize Marijuana Party" slogan. It is very easy to get your name on the ballot. Just go to the elections clerk in your home county, ask for the ballot petitions for the general elections this Nov.. Pick a office, to run for -(I suggest a small local office) -After you get the petitions be sure to ask
a few questions so as not to make any mistakes, But in most states you
just need 100 signatures from registered voters, get 200 to safe. Once
you get your petitions just stand in public place's
like bus terminals -supermarkets -etc. and ask people to do you a favor
and sign your petition so you as a independent can gain access to the ballot.
On the petition form where it say's party slogan -print clearly- the "legalize
Marijuana Party"- if people ask exactly what independent party you are
with show them. It really isn't hard to find 100 Pot smokers who would
help you get on the ballot! Especially if you present yourself as a
unashamed “PROUD POTHEAD” as I do!
JUST REMEMBER people
where laughing at JESSE Maintaining an illusion of freedom is much safer than the imposition of naked tyranny. Raw tyranny can only be safely imposed upon "sinners." About the only way individual "sinners" can get public attention is by getting themselves arrested. - (statehouse arrest)

Marijuana Party
celebrates successful campaign
by Dana Larsen (
http://www.cannabisculture.com/cgi/article.cgi?num=1760
Party leader Marc-Boris St Maurice received 2156 votes (5% of the total)
in his Candidates generally received 3-4% of the vote, typically ranging from
700-1200 votes per riding, with a low of 387 votes and a high of 2156.
"I am very happy with these election results," said Western Party Coordinator
Marc Emery. "Now we must continue our political uprising. We will form
provincial and municipal Marijuana Parties, and the BC Marijuana Party
is now getting underway and preparing for a Spring election. We will form
federal constituency associations and advocate for local pot culture. We
are the political representatives of Worldwide pot parties
Canada's Marijuana Party is one of many new political pot-parties that
have formed around the world.
In England it's called the UK Legalize Cannabis Alliance. In New Zealand,
it's called the Aotearoa Legalize Cannabis
Party. In Israel it's the Green Leaf Party. In the Australian states of
New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria it's the HEMP Party. In New
York it's the Marijuana Reform Party, and in New Jersey it's the Legalize
Marijuana Party. Everywhere it is the same phenomenon - marijuana activists
lifting themselves from beneath the jack-boot of oppression and carrying
their joints like torches of freedom into federal elections.
The torch of Canada's Marijuana Party was sparked by the efforts of
Marc-Boris St-Maurice, who founded Quebec's Bloc Pot. The Bloc Pot won
over 10,000 votes in Quebec's 1998 election, enough to get them some government
subsidies for their future campaigns. Through the efforts of countless
other activists and supporters nationwide, the Marijuana Party took shape.
Marc Emery plans to continue raising marijuana awareness in the upcoming
BC provincial elections, by the formation of the BC Marijuana Party. Having
honed their skills in federal race, the provincial candidates should have
a vivid presence in BC's spring election. * Canadian Marijuana Party National Headquarters: (514) 528-1768; * Canadian Marijuana Party Western Headquarters: (604) 684-7076; email * Bloc Pot: tel (514) 528-1768; CP 361, succ.
