Is That Cnn Voting To Legalize Marijuana True?
i keep getting messages that say this:
____________________________________
Vote to legalize marijuana.CNN
today, Obama will consider w/1
million votes. Call 973-409-3274
listen to the 30 sec. message
______________________________
i just need to know if its true. i called it and it sounded legit.
Yes and No. It is not true that this is supported directly by President Obama or any other political officials. This is a phone pole conducted by Humor Hotlines. They have however claimed that they will forward a petition to congress once one 1 million endorsments has been reached. see link http://www.showmethefacts.org/2009/04/24/marijuana-phone-poll-scam-confusing/
What you are calling is not a scam and is not a true vote, but it sure doesn’t hurt to see if these people can help open up America’s eyes. Proper Legalization will get the U.S. out of debt and it will lower crime rates (take the product from the black market where crimes do exists and put it in a taxable legitimate dealer)

No it is not true. For one thing, the President has no power to legalize a drug even if he wanted to.
The number mentioned is a company which does conduct legitimate polling, but this particular stunt is just that, a stunt, it has no real purpose.

Wait… So you think that Obama would consider legalizing marijuana if 0.3333% of Americans call in and vote yes?

No it’s not true…. it’s a JOKE…
Calling the number plays a message, but it’s bogus…
I would keep an eye on your phone bill if I were you…
