Need a Little Help Here

Found a job listing that I think sounds fucking great. Part time, which I'm looking for since I start school in a week. I need to write a cover letter and I suck at writing cover letters. I really don't want to work a bullshit job while in school... Since this job sounds like something that I would like to do, I need help in writing it. Thing is, I think that some of the people on this site can really help. 
Here's some of the job description:
Quote:
Job Title: Program Coordinator
Job Description: Work with the Executive Director and other staff to organize and empower Colorado’s state-licensed medical marijuana patients and caregivers. Administer all aspects of Sensible Colorado’s medical marijuana rights campaign including outreach, limited lobbying, and serving as a point of contact for patient inquiries. Individuals with experience working with sick or dying patients are strongly encouraged to apply.
Practice Area: Organizing, Activism, Human Rights
Where do I start? What should I mention? What should I NOT mention? 
Help a shroomery brother out.

Write a cover letter that doesn't mention your drug use at all, and if you really are good for the job, you'll get an interview.

Does "lobbying" imply that I have to go around to houses and get signatures and shit??

Or stand out on a street corner asking people for donations and signatures and maybe 1 in 4000 talking to you, yeah.
