Willie sent me an email!
I just got an email from Willie Nelson. No he wasn't asking for donations or tax advice, but he was asking for support for Texas State Representative Harold Dutton (D-Houston) who just introduced Bill 254 in the Texas State Legislature that would decriminalize marijuana for personal use. It recommends that minor pot crimes be issued a ticket instead of arrest and prosecution.
Jersey also just introduced a medical marijuana bill and New Hampshire introduced a similar bill to the one in Texas. So if you live in any of those three states and want your voice to be heard, contact your local reps. and let them know that you support these bills.
Support NORML in TX, NH and NJ!
These next few weeks are gonna suck. We're doing fundraising for the Chemistry Graduate Student Organization (CGSO) of which I am the secretary. We're selling goggles and lab coats to the general chem people who have lab. It's such a scam, but it gives us money. I just need to figure out a good way to use it. Like pay for the officer's health insurance. That'd be sweet. We can also work the concession stands at basketball games and the CGSO gets 10% of our total sales. And I bet if we split up that money equally between all the people who worked and put it towards their health insurance bills, we would have too many workers. Not a bad problem.
I'll post to the Book Club later today. Still waiting on my Fierce Invalids to arrive. Almost done with a collection of Asimov's short stories, then might try his book that Sid suggested, or maybe switch authors. Maybe a gay/lesbian author.
