People United for Medical Marijuana - Florida
Donate to our campaign This is an expensive endeavor and we need everyone's help! $99 covers the cost of printing 2,000 petitions or mailing 200 letters. Mail check or money order to PUFMM P.O. Box 560296 Orlando, FL 32856 or donate online using a credit card by clicking on the red donate button to the left. Any amount of $100 or more must be accompanied by your occupation for reporting purposes.
The petition is ready so sign now only if you are registered voter. Print the petition form on a Single Sheet of Paper, Front And Back - two page copies are not accepted. Sign the form using only blue ink to verify an original signature. Print legibly so these are easily read and verified. Mail the form and a donation to: PUFMM P.O. Box 560296 Orlando, FL 32856. If you are not registered, register now.
There are three top goals for this month:
1. Turn in petitions to be verified to the county in which the voter is registered. Make sure the name, city, and county is filled in properly. On the back, make sure it is signed and dated by the registered voter. If there are any watermarks, highlights, or other marks in the typed portion of the petition, keep them aside to send to Orlando. They will not be able to be verified. When we have money, we will direct mail a new petition to these people.
2. Place ads on line and in print - free ads such as craigslist.com and kijiji.com are great ways to get the word out. We need people in every city to post these ads under several different categories such as news and views, activities, politics, classes, volunteers, groups, and general.
3. Get more people involved by placing ads and just telling them how much fun we are having.
