@guywithtrees The purpose of the program you have referenced is to solicit funds to promote a kratom consumer advertising campaign where the stories of kratom consumers are placed on TV in targeted media markets where key Members of Congress and state legislators who serve on influencer committees will see first hand, along with their constituents the benefits kratom provides to real people. This is a campaign that will cost $1 - $2 million dollars -- depending on how much can be raised. This program simply recognizes those vendors who step up to make a substantial financial commitment for this program.
AKA also continues to fund a robust state and federal lobbying campaign -- in nearly two dozen states -- to pass the KCPA. It is easy -- very easy -- for some to sit on the sidelines and offer to make private comments. I will do so publicly, and will respond to any questions personally that can then be made public. I am happy to discuss this with you anytime we can find a mutually convenient time. That is how easy it is to get the answers to your questions. No drama, no secret conversations that have to be kept confidential, just an explanation of the strategic plan for expanding the understanding of kratom and its value proposition for consumers.
