DRCNet's
Campaign
'97!
9/20/97
Last week's bulletin had a small typo in it -- we accidentally reported that DRCNet's paying membership was nearing 600; we meant to say 500 (as compared with our e- mail subscriber list which is pushing 3000 and which gets forwarded to many more). All the more help we need to reach our year-end goal of 800 paying members and 4000 e-mail subscribers. We've broken 500 this week, and about 15 more readers have pledged to send in donations. Also, two generous donations of $100 this week have propelled our dues total this half year to over $1400. But we still have a long way to go to reach our stated goal of $10,000 in member donations by year's end. Your contributions help us to put more information on the web, make more contacts, and, even more, demonstrate to our potential funders that DRCNet is a vital organization whose members care about the issue. If you value our work and enjoy these bulletins, please take a few moments to visit our secure online registration/donation page at http://www.drcnet.org/drcreg.html. Remember, even a $10 contribution qualifies you as an e-mail member and counts toward our year-end total. Though we have set 800 as our year end goal, imagine what we could do if _all_ of you sent in just the $10 e-mail dues. The last quarter year has seen 12 uninterrupted issues of The Week Online, an issue of The Activist Guide newsletter, top coverage in Wired News, a host of new web site sections and more -- all with just me and Adam as full-time staff, plus part-timers and volunteers. With three or four thousand people sending in dues, we could expand and _really_ start to make some waves. Even better would be to become a full member for $25 -- entitling you to the print version of The Activist Guide -- or a DRCNet Special Friend for $100 -- getting you bi-monthly updates and clippings from the home office. It is a steep, uphill climb that we are making in the fight against the war on drugs. The movement needs your participation and financial support to be able to succeed. At stake are race relations, the right of patients to medicine, our Constitutional liberties, and the health and safety of all Americans. David Borden
