Right to petition your government for a redress of grievances...except in St. Charles, MO
Monroe streets tonight at 9:30 p.m. as a peaceful protest against two of its volunteers being cited by St. Charles police for "soliciting without a permit" shortly after midnight this past Saturday.
Show-Me Cannabis Reform's John Payne.
According to John Payne, Show-Me Cannabis Regulation's Saint Louis Regional Director, the two volunteers were soliciting nothing -- they were actually asking people to sign their petition for the legalization and subsequent government regulation of cannabis in Missouri. "The right to petition our government is the most fundamental right we possess as Americans and is part of the foundation of republican government. These citations will not deter us from exercising that right," Payne stated in the group's press release.

So asking for a signature is soliciting. Would that have been the case if it hadn’t been a pro-marijuana petition?

Electioneering and soliciting-Not the same thing.

What language is that being used in the quote?

But marijuana is a gateway drug! If we let people advocate it out in the open, then the drug cartels that are trying to hook our kids have won! Uh... LUNG CANCER!

Just to make sure (because it's hard to tell on the internets), you ARE being sarcastic here, right? :P
