SAM Action, Inc.

A cannabis advocacy group led by Kevin Gilnack challenges the validity of signatures for a ballot question seeking to repeal recreational marijuana legalization, alleging fraudulent collection methods. The State Ballot Law Commission will hold a hearing to evaluate the challenge, as the campaign narrowly met signature requirements with a 122-signature margin. The proposal faces opposition despite previous legal setbacks and is funded by SAM Action Inc., a 501(c)(4) organization.

A pro-cannabis campaign in Massachusetts, Stop the Repeal, is opposing a ballot measure to roll back recreational marijuana legalization, funded by out-of-state group SAM Action. The campaign uses grassroots efforts and compares its mission to the American Revolution, citing risks of unregulated cannabis if the measure passes.
