Grandma Lobbies for Medical Marijuana
Created 5/11/13
The Silver Tour www.thesilvertour.org is producing the first ever SENIOR Rally and Lobbying event in our nation's capitol. We will partner with SSDP (Students for Sensible Drug Policy, ) to lobby the House for passage of a budget amendment to prevent the DEA from enforcing federal marijuana laws in states with legal cannabis. .It should come up for a vote in late June. Our lobby day is Monday June 17, 2013. If passed, it opens the door for other states that are holding back on medical or legalization for fear of the feds. There is strong media interest to cover the event. Seniors in DC for cannabis is a huge news story, especially when they arrive hand in hand with students from SSDP. The feature event of the day will be a luncheon at the National Press Club or a location on Capitol Hill. All funds are being raised by The Silver tour.
For those who don't know me, my name is Robert Platshorn. I was featured in the hit Showtime movie, Square Grouper. My Silver Tour was recently spotlighted on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, CNN Money and on the front page of The Wall St Journal.
We need a sponsor or sponsors for the luncheon and buses. "Sponsored by" and sponsor's logo will be large on all banners and signage at the lunch and press conference. The cost to sponsor the lunch/press event, is about $5,000. Bus sponsorship is $1,000. The sponsors will be national heroes to the millions of seniors, students and everyone in the country who supports medical marijuana and cannabis reform.
All sponsors can be anonymous if desired.
Arrangements can also be made to sponsor the entire event including buses, signage, giant traveling billboard and more. I'm hoping you may know someone who can become a sponsor for any amount . This will be the most historic D.C. event to date. Irv Rosenfeld, who gets his medical marijuana from the federal government and is also a Silver Tour Director will be on hand with me to meet with press and fans.
All funds are being raised by The Silver tour.

This is a final thanks for all your support for The Silver Tour DC Lobby Day. Almost 150 Congressmen heard first hand from seniors, patients, veterans and students, the demand for Safe Legal Access to cannabis.
For the first time lawmakers saw a cross section of Americans come together for a shared goal. Many are finally aware that this issue is important to a majority of voters that live in thier districts. You made this possible.
You also made it possible for a large number of people to lobby for the first time in their lives. Now that they know it's not impossible, they will do it again and again. All of these things will hasten the end of cannabis prohibition in America.
The picture is mostly shots from our standing room only reception. Silver Tour donors and Weed Maps made it happen.
Now I will concentrate on educating seniors and the mainstream by airing the new version of "Should Grandma Smoke Pot?" on commercial TV stations in as many states as funds allow. It airs as "paid programing". If you haven't seen it here is the link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln3xVhf8mXw .
If you'd like to help us air the show donations can be made at the Silver Tour website www.thesilvertour.org
Thanks again! You have made a real difference. Your Silver Tour pins will go out in about two weeks when a new supply arrives.
Warmest Regards
