FROM THE PAGE
What this number is:
* This number is one of many numbers created by the novelty-number company Humor Hotlines.
* Unlike other numbers from HH, Goldblatt claims this is a legitimate poll being conducted which he plans to compile and give to various contacts within the government in hopes that it will be presented to Congress and President Barack Obama.
* This number is completely free and has apparently no known risks/fees associated with it outside of normal cell phone charges/minutes used/etc.
* If the number reaches a certain amount of votes (1,000,000), HH has every intention to follow through and send the compiled petition to the government.
What this number is NOT:
* A scam.
* This number has no relation with any political group or marijuana advocacy group.
* Endorsed by any politician, political group, advocacy group, or any person/group in a position of political authority.
* This number has no deadline.
* The number has no more power/authority to legalize marijuana than any other petition created by people online (however, every bit helps).
* Though some have claimed to have received charges after calling this number, it must have been coincidence or confusion because the number does not appear to create any charges (though if you can prove to me it does, feel free to contact me).
