We don't want to give off the wrong impression, here.

Mucho appreciation,

How about the slogan reading "...because the media jumped on the bandwagon."

Anyone with input on the slogan, have at it! =D

If I were you I would possibly change the website name, Abovethebullshit, might not sound appropriate in a corporate type battle Idk, they would probably just overlook the site because of the innapropriate word.


I'm not saying i'm a goody goody at all, I swear as much as any other person, but hopefully somebody else catches my drift?

I thought about it, however, the message I am delivering is that the "facts" are all bullshit. Plain and simple, no better way to put it.

I do know exactly where you are coming from though mang.

it should be something doing with the tobacco companies that pay for those anti-smoking campaign things.

such as
"Above The Ignorance"
"Above The Lies"
If you get what I mean..

You could also have another page that allows people to get involved with the situation in an effort to change their state current marijuana laws. Like congressmen they should appeal to, politicians in the '08 election that are against the drug war, and anything else along those lines. And have a Links page with stuff like norml.org, etc.

Another idea would be to take "facts" from the Above the Influence site, and disprove them using evidence taken from clinical studies and other sources of information. This won't be too hard, since all the stuff they put on their site grossly exaggerates the truth or is a complete fabrication altogether. I think this is where you could win the most people over that are on the fence about the issue.

And one guy suggested to not bash on the media even if they are ridiculous, but to use facts supporting your opinions to why their reasoning is illogical and try to sound as professional as possible.

The last thing was content to put on your site, it is a documentary called In Pot We Trust. Just saw it like an hour ago and it gives people on both sides of the issue a chance to talk, but the cannabis supporters make a much more convincing case than the guys against it IMO. It airs again on the 11th if u have showtime.

I was hoping it would be on Youtube so you could put it on your site, but keep an eye out for it cuz its new.
