On December 15th 2004, the European parliament approved a set of
recommendations, known as the 'Catania Report', for the new EU
strategy to deal with the 'drug problem'. This report is in favour of
an alternative to the dominant approaches to drug policy. Instead of
maintaining a system based on drug prohibition, the 'Catania report'
calls for policies consistent with the broad approach known as "harm
reduction" to be adopted across the whole of Europe. The new EU
strategy will be adopted in June 2005 - it is vital that it takes into
account the recommendations of the 'Catania report'.

On 21 April, a Public Hearing will take place in the European Parliament on
the future of EU drug policies. ENCOD proposes that citizens all over Europe
express themselves, in order to make the people in charge of our democratic
institutions aware that the "war on drugs" must end. We invite all citizens to
sign the petition in support of the Catania report.

They can also take part in, and support, the following actions:

* 21 April EUROPEAN DAY OF CITIZEN ACTION FOR JUST AND EFFECTIVE
DRUG POLICIES. Plant your seed for a different drug policy in a public
place!
* 7 May MILLION MARIJUANA MARCH - in more than 200 cities around
the world, join the march in your city
* 25 / 26 June ENCOD GENERAL ASSEMBLY, Berlin

Well I don't want to discourage anyone but i kind of flipped though the list of signatures and didn't see the USA mentioned one time so I don't believe they are counting votes outside of Europe.
