For those unfamiliar, change.org is a very interesting site to petition your officials about things that are important to YOU. However, others can also find your petition, think you make sense, and sign along with you.

Here is one that is quickly gaining steam, and rightfully so. For anyone in Michigan...you don't need to come wave your flag, but the title alone should clue you in what this petition is about!

The petition reads:


Honor The Will of the People

Greetings,

I just signed the following petition addressed to: The Legislature and Attorney General of The State Of Michigan.

----------------
Honor The Will of the People

In 2008, voters in the State of Michigan, approved the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act by a 63% margin. Since then over 100,000 Michiganders have entered the program. Since that time hundreds of innocent patients and caregivers have been persecuted by police and prosecutors. Some have been throw in prison for simply being in the program. Others have had their property seized without due process. Now the legislature is seeking to expand the power of law enforcement. They have created legislation that will cause patients to be arrested for simply following the will of the people. These lawmakers are playing politics with the health and safety of the sick and dying. Please sign this petition to allow friends and family to continue to care for the sick. Stop the politicians from undoing the will of the people.
----------------

Sincerely,
XXXXXX


I did not start this, however, please share this amongst your friends and family.

sorry i don't have a link to the actual proposed changes... but it is on one of the local community forums for michigan medical... they scanned a leaked copy from a closed-door meeting... just absolutely guts the program.

Yes, they can not essentially end the program, but they can disclose everything and send in the hounds, which is exactly what they are setting things up for.

SB 017 This Bill would make it illegal for medical marijuana users to freely assemble. This is a violation of the first amendment.

SB 321 Would Deny Medical marijuana participants insurance coverage

SB 377 Would provide a real time list of the registry. The police have already abused the law. This would empower them to do so on a grander scale.

SB 418 would allow the state and any of it’s agents to abuse patients and patients would have no legal recourse.

SB 504 Would make it illegal to transfer marijuana with a school zone. 80% of the State of Michigan is in a school zone. This would criminalize transfers in most townships.

SB 505 Tightens the regulations on parents with a minor child and kicks felons out of the program

SB 506 Establishes guidelines for the Doctor/patient relationship and throws the patient in jail if there is a violation.

HB 4397 Is the house version of SB 017 Marijuana Bar Bill

HB 4463 Would throw Felons out of the program

HB 4384 Provides for a photo on the card and waters down the presumption of innocence.

HB 4850 Would remove (4)(e) as a defense and would make it illegal for a patient to obtain meds from anyone other than their primary caregiver and makes it illegal for caregiver to assist any patient not their own. The patient/caregiver would be guilty of a Public Health code Violation and would be in violation of the CSA.

HB 4851 would require that patients to get their certifications from their primary physician. It also changes the definition of a locked enclosed facility.

HB 4852 Would make a constitutionally protected initiative subject to local zoning ordinances. This would be historical.

HB 4853 Would make it a felony to sell marijuana in violation of the act. Please see all the proposed laws. There would be lot’s of new ways to violate the act.

HB 4854 Would make it illegal for a caregiver to advertise .

HB 4856 makes it illegal to transport medical marijuana

Basically they are attempting to bury the public in so much paper work that we miss something...

They invited us to come play their game seeing how we decided we wanted to influence the government. This is EXACTLY what the do to each other...they are just focusing their power down our proverbial throats...collectively.

This was par for the course in my opinion. We should have been ready for it...and in many ways, I think we were. But I dare say it wasn't the MMMA and all the donation and membership fees and dispensary endorsements and such that footed the bill to challenge 'ole Bill and his gang in the first place...

KELLEY CAWTHORNE is being paid mighty well to lobby for what? 3rd Priority.

C. MEDICAL MARIJUANA. Reps. Cavanaugh and Horn are working diligently to get our multi-family housing language within their package of bills. As we explained to them, our goal is to have the AG’s opinion made law.

It is politics, folks.
