At press conferences held in Philadelphia and Harrisburg on Wednesday, and one in Pittsburgh today, NORML PAC announced its endorsement of Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate John Hanger.John Hanger is currently pursuing the Democratic nomination in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race and has made marijuana law reform a central plank in his platform. He has released a three step plan for marijuana law reform that advocates for medical marijuana and decriminalization immediately upon taking office in 2015 and to move to full legalization by 2017.At the press conference, NORML Communications Director Erik Altieri stated, “Hanger is the only candidate who isn’t afraid to openly discuss and campaign on a platform that calls for widespread reform of Pennsylvania’s marijuana laws. Since the start of his campaign, John Hanger has been a passionate and outspoken advocate of ending Pennsylvania’s war on marijuana and moving the state towards a smarter approach.â€In an interview with NORML conducted earlier this year, John Hanger stated his belief that marijuana law reformers can elect the next governor. “We can win this issue in May 2014, by my winning that primary,†Hanger said, “It will shock the political establishment and accelerate the changing of the laws by years in Pennsylvania and around the country. I believe Pennsylvania is seen as a bellwether. If marijuana reform can win in Pennsylvania, it can win anywhere.â€- See more at: http://blog.norml.org/2013/11/14/norml-pac-endorses-john-hanger-for-governor-of-pennsylvania/#sthash.1MrbgNyt.dpuf

How do I make sure I can vote for Governor. lol I’m in PA, never would expect we’d be one of the next states, but it’d be rad!

Can’t wait till corbetts out of office. Norml is pretty big in philly and other areas in pa. We have naacp backing these bills too so it will most likely pass

You’d have to be registered as a Democrat to vote for this cat in the primary.
That’s such bullshit that in this state I can’t vote for whoever if I’m an independent. That pisses me off.

I tend to agree, but it’s mostly just an inconvenience….you can switch to Democrat for the primary then switch right back to Indie. I started out as Indie when I first registered. Switching was easy.
