Please share and notify everyone you know and please participate in the Wisconsin Cannabis State Wide Lobby Day on Wednesday January 16th, 2013!

Wisconsin is only 1 of three states in our country where the citizens can not start a state wide referendum. “NORML” Jeff, field activist with Northern Wisconsin NORML started a petition (Legalize state wide referendums in Wisconsin) using www.signon.org so we the citizens of the state of Wisconsin can vote on matters we feel need to be addressed. This could bring the power back to the people of our great state and give us all a voice of our own!
