We are ridiculously behind - WTF - enough people browse this forum to push it into first place - VOTE

It's really upsetting.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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
