Please have something intelligent scripted out. Show your outrage and stand up for your rights. They already are trying to take away medical cannabis
patients rights to purchase guns, and now our dispensaries. They won't stop unless we stop them.
Welcome to the Citizens For Compassionate Use website. Helping to protect the rights of medical marijuana patients in Butte County
The Citizens for Compassionate Use is a newly formed PAC (political action committee) in Butte County California. We are a group of patients,
growers, attorneys, business owners, dispensaries, and civil rights activists striving for fair and ethical laws and legislation regarding resident’s
rights to grow their own medicine.
Our goal is to stop the Butte County Board of Supervisors and City/County Officials in the State of California from enacting ORDINANCE-4029 and
other legislation restricting medical marijuana patient rights. The Committee is working towards finding common ground to sensible ordinances that
protect medical marijuana patient rights granted by Proposition 215 and Senate Bill 420.
The 4029 referendum signature drive is over. The signature drive was a complete success with a total of 12,308 signatures collected. We came
close to collecting double the amount of signatures needed to qualify the referendum. (Approximately, 7,600).
How Can I Help?
First, we need to raise contributions for the Political Action Committee, Citizens for Compassionate Use.
Contributions to the Citizens for Compassionate Use, A Political Action Committee, are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for Federal
income tax purposes. Contributions to the Committee are not subject to contribution limits. Individuals, businesses, other organizations and committees
may contribute to the Committee. Contributor information is required for all contributors by State law. Foreign nationals are prohibited from making
contributions.
Second, we need volunteers to help participate in our campaign to combat Butte County Ordinance 4029 and other similar legislation the Butte County
Board of Supervisors and other cities and counties in the State of California have proposed. We need volunteers and concerned citizens all over the
State of California to attend their local legislative meetings and voice their opinions and concerns about protecting medical marijuana patient
rights.
The campaign, however, is far from over. The Chico Enterprise Record has started a fear campaign, based upon the fictional specter of “Guerrilla
Gardeners,” who carry automatic weapons and utilize Pitt Bulls to guard their massive local marijuana gardens. You and I both know that these
individuals plant their huge gardens in our national forests, not on our neighbors’ private property. Medical marijuana patients are simply looking
for a safe alternative to the “Black Market”. Cities and Counties are attacking both dispensaries and local cultivation of medical marijuana. Without
your assistance, there will be no safe, affordable patient access to the medicine, which we both know effectively treats a number of illnesses and
symptoms thereof.
We need to raise contributions and find volunteers to organize voter registration/information drives, distributing literature and other campaign
materials, hosting awareness festivals, creating/distributing yards signs, organizing/completing precinct walks, combating fear campaigns with media
outlets and elected officials pertaining to medical marijuana, attorneys fees, maintaining the website, organizing fundraiser/phone campaign
volunteers and various other crucial tasks needed to organize and complete a successful campaign.
