| Description | Despite last week's defeat in California of Proposition 19, which would have legalized recreational marijuana, supporters of the ballot initiative are already gearing up to try again in 2012 and are optimistic that it will pass on a second try, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Backers of the measure see this year's campaign as a trial run and say it enabled them to expand their base of support from the original activists, who set this year's campaign in motion, to a broader base that includes big-money donors as well as labor and civil rights leaders.
Those big-money donors are crucial because advocates were able to raise only a fraction of what they had hoped to spend on the campaign this year. |
