Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
I seriously don't understand why "Legalize the use of marijuana" is in first place with 2,500+ votes in the first voting day.. I have nothing against the issue itself but it almost makes me doubt this website. Who honestly thinks Obama's going to consider this issue? Even with the attention it's getting.

Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
Chain e-mails are another Idea. I copied and pasted the following to following to family, friends, and classmates, I asked for their vote and for them to forward to their family and friends:
VOTE FOR THE DREAM ACT!! For DREAM Act students and Allies! – CHANGE.ORG Change.org has pledged to pass on the top 10 ideas on their site to Obama on Inauguration day. They have implemented a two-round voting system, round one ended on January 1st. After over 7,000 ideas and 250,000 votes the DREAM Act idea finished in 8th place with a whopping 2219 votes! Round 2 began on January 5th, the 10 ideas with the most votes will be presented at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. as the "Top 10 Ideas for America." In addition to getting the ideas to Obama, change.org has pledged to form a national campaign for each of the issues. They have promised the support of their partners and their over 200,000 members! Voting ENDS January 15th!!! Please pass this link on to your friends and family. http://www.change.org/ideas/view/pass_the_dream_act_now |

What I don't understand even more is why an issue such as "Legalize Milk" is currently in the 12th place with close to 800 votes. Like is this some kind of a joke? There are wayy more important issues out there than this. This is just holding us back., i just think it's rediculous We're in 16th place right now, so vote vote vote!!! |

I voted by the way. Spreading the word about it. |
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
Seems we are not getting any closer to even top 10.
|
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
Hmm... I thought most of the other ideas in the top 10 would have a majority of their votes on the first day then slowdown. Seems that isn't happening.
EDIT: Even stranger. I got about 20 friends in about 10 minutes to vote for the dream act idea, and we actual didn't more any closer to 10th place. Doesn't make sense. If ideas start to pass their original totals in less than two days, then something is fishy. |
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
We are ridiculously behind - WTF - enough people browse this forum to push it into first place - VOTE

Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
It's really upsetting.
|
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
Maybe something is fishy, maybe not. It doesn't matter, we should have at least 2000 votes by now. Stoners are better networkers than us, come on people...If we can't get a couple thousand votes for this how do we expect to get support from Congress?
It's about the rest of your life, remember? It's up to you to create your own future. |
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
Classes not starting till the 20th kind of hurts the flyer idea.
Still, we are only at 1100, but we got over 2200 votes in the first round. I have been sending out messages to afl-clo and others to get them to mail out messages to their supporters. No response as of yet. I will look for more ways to spread the idea tomorrow. Some reasons why our number may be so low: 1. People didn't understand that there was two rounds. So they don't think they need to vote a second time. 2. Change.org has gotten a lot of attention so more people are weighing in now than the first round. I think we will need around 10,000 to make it in if the rate of the lowest doesn't slow down; I think it may slow down, but who knows. 20+ votes every 5 minutes is crazy. |
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
It's interesting how DREAM is so far behind yet it has the most number of comments, alot more than most of the other ideas that are way ahead... I hope everyone votes!!
|
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
Hmm..u think? like get rid of drugs I saw the other day was very much on top with 1000+ votes?? I mean lets get real. Yes we can fight getting rid of drugs but anyone in their right state of mind know that illegal drugs will never END despite ALL the effort that's made. It's like finding a needle in a hay stack.*my opinion* sue me if I'm wrong.
|
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
Ok, I took the time to post on all the other top ideas asking for them to also support our idea. I also posted on some popular pro immigrant youtube videos and websites asking for their support. I will be back at it tomorrow.
lets hope it works. At 1200 with 627 gap. |
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
I got three people to vote.
I don't think I can get any more because I don't have that many people who know about my situation. Maybe I can be craft about getting others to vote without them finding out about me. |
Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
If you don't want people to know about your status you can ask a citizen friend to send a message to everyone on their friend list on facebook or myspace and even put it up as their status. I told my bf to do that and he already got someone to vote.
Just make sure to tell them to pass on the info to others as well. |

HAHA Im going to do this, but what happens if we get the most votes? dont want to sound negative but its not like its going to pass |

On a different note: I saw on the change.org website that there are two issues that are similar if not the same... the "legalize the medicinal and recreational use of marijuana" and "decriminalize marijuana/hemp". Is there any way the second one can be taken down since it's the same issue? Anyone know if there are rules on the site for that? |

Use the change.org vote as a talking point to get your local groups in tune with you and DREAM in general. Change.org is only the first stepping stone in this years many many actions to come. |

And i feel dumb asking this but what do they mean by "Legalize Milk"??? Isn't milk already legal? Or are they referring to a different type of milk? Sorry for the question. All i'm hoping is that people take this website seriously because some of us have faith in it and are working wayy too hard for it. |

Anyway, on topic. Why won't the Facebook groups send out a message to all members? Those groups are huge, it would help. |

Re: Change.org Round 2 Voting -- Official Thread
If a group has more than 5k members mass messages can't be sent out, however if it is a facebook page or cause then you can send out a message / post an update which shows up on peoples status bars etc.

Look for facebook groups and contact their admins, just a note. . . after contacting 5 or 6 groups FB will ban you from posting for 24 or so hours as they think you are spamming . . . which you just might be doing :P. Send messages to group admins to be safe! Mo |
