Imperial Beach Residents and Supporters of Safe Access to Medical Marijuana

Although we have over 2,000 signatures gathered already, a large portion of them will be disqualified by the City Clerk for one reason or another.

As you have probably heard by now, the San Diego County Chapter of Americans for Safe Access, the nations largest medical marijuana patient’s rights advocacy group, has been working hard to gather signatures in IB to repeal the city’s ban and replace it with reasonable regulations for qualified patients.

Over the last few weeks, with the support and help of Canvass for a Cause and many volunteers, we have been able to mobilize an .

The first phase of the campaign is to gather enough signatures to place the initiative on the ballot in November. The second phase is the ‘get out the vote drive’ (GOTV) which will start as soon as the initiative qualifies.

Although we have over already, a large portion of them will be disqualified by the for one reason or another. This is why we need to double if not triple the amount of signatures we turn in to ensure enough valid are counted.

As a final push to get as many signatures as we can, tomorrow May 26th, we would like to invite you to join us for a volunteer day of action and 'Knock for Safe Access'!

Help us gather signatures in Imperial Beach!

Nope..he's a Public Figure...and as such must be accessible to us...and actually should be......asRead More it is he is unable to be found..never holds public hearings to give his assessment on what's happening with this Grand Jury thing or about anything. So I guess now we know where he is. Hey Mr Mayor, mind telling us what your hours at The Plank are so we might approach you about our concerns ....sounds like what we used to call in the Air Force a ROAD (Retired on Active Duty)

I am not a big fan of our mayor but I think this is a real invasion of the Janney's privacy.

And comment links no longer work... That's going cause less spam, and negatively effect SEO!

It's on the west side of the new American Legion building. At first glance it reminded me of myRead More last duty station, the USS Independence CV-62...

I agree, except what made me notice the motorcycle cops was one running a stop sign and me having toRead More slam on my brakes to avoid hitting him... Then he proceeded to run a stop light to pull someone over...

No southwest state is looking forward to the Fire Season, were all short of fire funding Funds...!!!

Forcing the blame back on the court's for the release of these felon's will not solve the problemRead More tho, A workable answer is to de=criminalize all state marijuana laws and release all those convicted of marijuana except thos ewith a conviction for distributing over 10 Lbs. Then take all those with federal convictions and drop them off at a federal court for them to deal; with ! We can not afford to keep minor marijuana prisoners in state jails any longer. These tow actions would make all the room we need in outr state prisons !

Candy, Spriggs and Patton are supposed to be researching a Youth Advisory Committee (including aRead More name with a better acronym). Sign me up for a Youth committee. With 3 kids, from teen to toddler, I have a very vested interest in keeping activities for all ages. Plus Marc wants on. As a teen he can be a leader to younger kids - like he is in Coronado. It is just those of us who want to work for our city's betterment, seem to be shot down.

I agree!

Why can't the Sportspark offer the same type of programs that the YMCA does? I think it would beRead More great for the City to have have a Parks and Rec's Advisory Committee. The advisory committee could help the rec center establish some new programs and apply for the 1000's of grants available out there. Lets not forget about the over 800 people in IB who signed a petition and still want a dog park. What about the need for a park in the Oneonta area? A Parks and Rec's Advisory Board could help council with funding and also take some of the work load off of staff. This wouldn't cost the City a dime, sounds like a win-win to me. If the advisory board had some dedicated volunteers, they could establish themselves as a non-profit and apply for grants themselves and help the City pay for these projects. That would free up money in the general fund and allow us to keep our Sportspark, Skatepark and Little Leagues to ourselves. Out sourcing should be our last resort.
