Field Activist produces high activity in target districts

Recently a Field Activist from New Holstein was paying attention.  The chapter put out a call for action in target districts holding up the medical marijuana legislation in committee.  To make a long story short, Field Activist Patrick went to our website and downloaded the signature support page of current Wisconsin marijuana legislation.   Armed with his own freshly printed information/signature pages, he went out and collected signatures of support for the chapter to use in lobbying efforts.

He put the ACT into activism and we recognize his accomplishments and look forward to working with this field activist on future projects.

To recap a job well done, he had success in collecting nearly 100 signatures in over a dozen districts of known opposition.  This is an amazing job and we thank him for his efforts.

Here are some of the highlights, signature totals and districts:
