Here's another thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002394758
Also, there's an argument on one of the forums it was posted on, Reddit, with
some folks claiming that the effort itself is great but that the nonprofit running
it isn't the best place to send $$$ to. Of course I don't normally put much stake
in Reddit:

Fortunately this April 20 effort is not about money, or is it?
They are apparently asking for an ongoing subscription in order to receive
a box with the materials for plastering posters etc. The whole "thousands
of boxes full of posters" idea makes me think of when I saw the movie
V for Vendetta and wondered how he got people to arrange shipping all
those outfits... you'd think it'd be more efficient to ask people to create
or make copies of their own posters for A20, like Occupy did.
