Facebook is censoring marijuana legislation ads that show pot leaves

Sign the petition to stop
Facebook's censorship.

Marijuana legalization has been censored by Facebook.
Facebook just banned our ads that support marijuana legalization. The social networking site says we can no longer advertise our campaign for marijuana legalization using our logo, which has a pot leaf.

We need to fight back against Facebook's censorship. Can you sign our petition protesting Facebook's unfair policy against legalization ads? We'll send the petition to Facebook and tell the media about the site's censorship of a popular political issue.

1. k/r

Strange how these corporate sites have no problem allow right wing/conservative causes to be advertised without question.

3. I signed the petition but fb would have to do a whole lot more

than uncensor the pro-pot ads to get me to go to their site. I'm not a pot smoker either, for what that's worth. (not since the 60s)

5. I have nothing to do with Facebook but I signed the petition because it

Edited on Wed Aug-25-10 04:40 PM by Bobbieo

was sent by "Just Say Now".

I asked Facebook what was the lobby behind the censoship - Alcohol, Timber or Prison. I'm sure there are other powerful lobbies who want pot to stay illegal in this country - how about a cigarette lobby.

I am not a pot smoker, never have been BUT I live on the Mexican border and I want to break the back of their damned drug cartels before they move into the US. They are on their way!!!
