Ten Signature Sheet Petition Instructions:

The petition linked here is a 10 signature sheet sheet petition. Following these instructions carefully will ensure that you meet the state of Oregon's requirements, so your signatures count. If you would like us to mail you a ten signature sheet petition, please fill out our volunteer form.

• The ten signature sheet is a two sided document. Keep in mind, one sheet is oriented in the landscape mode and the other in portrait. (One goes vertical and one is horizontal)

• Print both the signature sheet and the cover sheet on regular WHITE office paper. It must be on white office paper. Now you are ready to make a two sided copy.

• Once the copy has been made, it is important that the orientation of the document looks exactly as the orientation of the template the Secretary of State approved.

Make A Secure Credit-Card Donation To CRRH to support the OCTA initiative

Every political campaign needs money to be successful. Donate now and help us change the world!

Please use the "donate now" button on this page to transfer to a secure web site to make a donation. We need your money to help put the Cannabis Tax Act on the ballot in Oregon. When we regulate marijuana here in the Northwest USA, and the OCTA will do that, then the whole international War on some Drugs will grind to a halt and start to crumble.

Your credit card donation will appear on your monthly statement discreetly, simply as CRRH. Once you have completed your transaction, you will receive an email confirmation and "thank you" note.

We can accept money from anyone, anywhere in the world. There are no legal limits on contributions to initiative petitions. Oregon taxpayers get a 100 percent refund for donations of up to $50, or $100 for married couples filing jointly, of a donation to help CRRH put OCTA on the ballot with the Oregon state income tax credit. Your contribution will allow the CTA's political action committee, the Campaign for the Restoration and Regulation of Hemp (CRRH), to organize effectively and to finish the drive for Oregon's ballot in November 2012. We hope to take the CTA to other states too.

Right here, right now, the CTA needs money for its petition drive to pay signature gatherers, for our phone bill, postage and printing. We pledge to use your donation wisely to legally regulate the sale of marijuana to adults and for medicine, and to legalize industrial hemp.

If you have questions or prefer to make your donation by phone, call us at 503-235-4606.

Thanks for helping CRRH's OCTA petitions! With your help we will change the world.

FAQ: I don't consume cannabis, why should I sign OCTA 2012?
A: Hemp can be used to make 50,000 products from Biodiesel to Plastic!

Biodiesel | Fashion | Fiber | Medicine | Nutrition | Prohibition | Sustainability

• Hemp seed oil can be used as fuel to drive cars and heat homes because Hemp produces biomass, which can be converted into charcoal for electricity, ethanol, methanol and other sources of fuel. Burning biomass for energy, instead of fossil fuels, helps keep the carbon dioxide cycle in balance, and thus helps to stop global warming, instead of contributing to it as the burning of fossil fuels does.




• An acre of hemp will produce from four to ten times as much paper pulp as will an acre of trees, over the period of time it takes pulp trees to grow to maturity, and hemp can be used to make paper more durable and environmentally friendly than wood. Changing to hemp-based paper could reduce deforestation by half. Hemp paper lasts hundreds of years longer than paper made from trees and doesn't require toxic bleaching chemicals.

Oregon Cannabis Tax Act Petitions Approved for Circulation 04-07-10

Drafted by: Kyndall Mason, kyndall@democracyresources.com, 503.927.0225

(Portland, OR) - The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act (OCTA) is kicking off its signature-gathering effort at the OR NORML meeting at 700 NE Dekum this Saturday, April 10 at 10:00am. Petitions have just been approved for circulation by the Oregon Secretary of State's Office, and OCTA expects over 300 in attendance to be among the first to sign the petition for this monumental ballot measure.

Co-Chief Petitioner Madeline Martinez, Executive Director of OR NORML – a statewide chapter of a national organization working to legalize adult cannabis use – says that “OCTA will transform Oregon. We can capture at least $140 million for the General Fund annually to better our state for all Oregonians. That’s schools, roads, health care and many other public projects. Supporting OCTA is a no-brainer.”

OCTA will generate that $140 million by taxing commercial cannabis sales to adults 21 years of age and older. And $61.5 million will be saved annually as law enforcement’s attention can focus on dangerous and often violent crimes.

In addition to the revenue generated for the General Fund, the potential of industrial hemp for Oregon's economy is limitless as it will turn Oregon into a national leader in ecological innovation and sustainable jobs. “The entire hemp plant is useful, from its seeds which create a food source to its oil which can be made into bio-diesel to its stalks which can be woven into fabrics or turned into paper – hemp is the future, not just for Oregon, but for a sustainable planet,” says Paul Stanford, OCTA's other Co-Chief Petitioner and founder of the Hemp and Cannabis Foundation (THCF), an organization which helps provide medical marijuana patients access to medicine.

We need several volunteers for the following events.
