--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- Dear Friend:New Hampshire voters delivered a strong victory for the Marijuana Policy Project and medical marijuana patients last week. U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), the major candidate who is most supportive of medical marijuana legislation, won the primary over former Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT) by a double-digit margin. MPP was very active in the primary. Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana, MPP's grassroots organization in New Hampshire, attended town hall meetings all over the state, peppering the candidates with questions. MPP also called approximately 10,000 Democratic voters in January, urging them to call Gov. Dean's campaign to ask him to pledge to end the DEA's raids on medical marijuana patients and their caregivers. And MPP leafleted the campaign events of candidates opposed to medical marijuana, including Gov. Dean, U.S. Sen. John Edwards (D-NC), and U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT). In the past week, MPP escalated its effort to educate voters about the candidates' positions on medical marijuana through 35,000 candidate score cards and a TV commercial that highlighted those candidates who refused to pledge to end federal attacks on patients. Please visit http://www.mpp.org/NH/news_6003.html to read more about this campaign. "Our goal was to change the political dialogue on medical marijuana, and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams," said MPP's Aaron Houston, who coordinated the campaign since April from Manchester, New Hampshire. Please consider visiting http://www.mpp.org/donate0906 to help defray the costs that MPP incurred because of this campaign. Medical marijuana proponents should be pleased with the results of the New Hampshire primary. Not only did Kerry win, taking 39% of the vote to Dean's 26%, but Wesley Clark (D-AR) -- also a medical marijuana supporter -- took third place with 12% of the vote. Edwards and Lieberman, both of whom support the DEA's raids on cancer patients, finished in fourth and fifth places with 12% and 9%, respectively. On the campaign trail, Kerry said he favored federal medical marijuana legislation and pledged to end the DEA's raids on patients and caregivers in states with medical marijuana laws. This stand earned him an "A-" in MPP's voter guide. Dean, by contrast, killed MPP's medical marijuana legislation when he was governor of Vermont and failed to pledge a permanent end to the DEA raids. Dean earned a "D-" for these positions. Clark pledged to end the raids and received a "B+". MPP flunked Sen. Edwards and Sen. Lieberman for their opposition to medical marijuana. Go to http://www.GraniteStaters.com/guide to read more about all the candidates' positions. MPP's focused efforts over the past nine months likely affected the outcome of the election by a few percentage points. And, more importantly, our work vaulted the medical marijuana issue into the realm of prominent campaign issues that the candidates had to address day in and day out. Of course, the presidential primary race isn't over, and MPP does not have the resources to launch New Hampshire-style campaigns in other states. If you live in a state other than Iowa or New Hampshire, please attend the town hall forums that the various candidates are staging in your state, being sure to ask them whether they would end or continue the DEA's raids on medical marijuana patients and providers. If you make contact with any of the presidential campaigns, please e-mail MPP at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to let us know what happened.
