		<description>I was born in the summer of love August, 1967.  I am a product of that era and stand for the movement of peace, and prosperity, self exporation, and freedom.  For at least 18 years we have seen adds against marijuana and switching it us is a good thing. We will feel some heat from the right wing so called ritchous folk.  I am a christian and feel that in order to be christian you must accept all. Telling people they will go to hell for this or that is up to god and not me.  I say it is time to run the pro marijuana adds.</description>

		<description>We are the MAJORITY!  There are 20 Million regular cannabis users, and I would believe that is a very low estimation.  

If each of the 20 Million donated $10, how soon would Marijuana be legalized?  

In this Nation, and in this economy, money talks.</description>

		<description>- - Aside from the Grand Prize Winning, &quot;Yes We Can&quot; video, 
I like the song-based ads best, 
and believe that music makes the message much more MEMORABLE. 

* * * MATH for STONERS * * *
(...Seven-point-Six Billion Dollars spent on people just smoking some pot...)


NORML Ad Contest WINNING video , (SHORTENED VERSION), by Nice Peter (pshukoff):
(51sec, LYRICS for this version begin at THIRD section: *** ) 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTZjQo9RKT8


NORML Ad Contest video, (FULL-VERSION), by Nice Peter (pshukoff):
(NOT ENTERED, but viewable HERE, 1m 38sec)

Full NORML 2008 PSA Video-Song Lyrics By Peter Shukoff, aka Nice Peter

*
My next door neighbor, Jim the barber, got arrested in Nineteen Eighty-Nine.
He got caught with one pound of grass, and he did two years of hard time.

He was released, 
He lost his shop, with a felony on his record.

Now he lives on the streets in West Chicago, 
That&#039;s the last that I heard, don&#039;t you think it&#039;s absurd?

**
We gotta to stand together, 
(There&#039;s a million &quot;Jims&quot; in jail for weed).

Stand together, 
(Well I thought this was the Land of the Free).

I know what you&#039;re thinkin&#039;, 
That we&#039;ve got bigger fish to fry, 

Let me break down the MATH for you guys...

***
There were Seven-Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand marijuana arrests in Two Thousand and Seven.
That&#039;s not for dealers and kingpins, no, that&#039;s just for simple possesion.

Multiply that by average cost of each arrest, and what have you got?
Seven-point-Six Billion Dollars spent on people just smoking some pot.

That&#039;s enough money to buy health-insurance for every child that needs it,
That&#039;s enough cash to adopt every stray dog, and enough let over to feed it,

Mister Obama, I kinda wrote this song for you.
You got my vote for change, now let&#039;s see what you can do.

		<description>I have donated a few times now but do you have to wait until the entire $20,000 has been raised to get this thing started!? I think the sooner the better to get some adds airing NOW. 

 I got a bogus letter from William H. Hanes (director Florida office of drug control) on Governor Crist&#039;s behalf,  vomiting anti marijuana propaganda. Florida really needs support!</description>
