Newspapers offer outlets for marijuana activists

During the last legislation cycle there were many bills introduced, of course we followed a couple closer than others. Assembly Bill 206 (Industrial Hemp) and Assembly Bill 554 (Medical Marijuana) had high interest among residents and polls showed a majority of support for both issues throughout the state of Wisconsin. After positive conversations with a wide variety of people in my community, I looked for larger ways to share this information with my neighbors.

I use a variety of media outlets, but wanted to share with you a very easy and effective source I found in our community. Our local newspaper has a large consistent circulation base and no doubt loyal readers. Reading and obtaining information from the news source you trust is important. Many newspapers allow an outlet for readers to express their individual viewpoints. A letter to the editor can serve as a useful tool in educating readers of your local newspapers. I wrote plenty over the months as did others. As we lobbied on a local level the feedback and following developed from our efforts gave us strength in times of darkness.

As we move forward with our activism, we plan to utilize these media opportunities in our continued awareness campaigns and urge you to do the same. You may contact us to add your local paper to our site. If guidelines permit we will submit letters, press releases and relative information to your local media outlets to aide in your local grassroots efforts.
