MEMBER NOTES: - Those of you with java-enabled web browsers can check out the latest alerts and headlines on our home page at http://www.drcnet.org -- just click on the scrolling text links to select whichever article interests you.
- We have found a possible fix to the distribution problems of the last few weeks, but won't know for sure until we send this issue and see the results. Hopefully this issue will reach you without delay; if not, we will continue to work on the problem and find a workaround in the meantime.
- DRCNet isn't the only outfit to suffer occasional technical vicissitudes -- the eyegive online fundraising program, in which over 300 DRCNet members are participants, suffered a severe hardware crash, and are still figuring out how much data they can recover. About 17 DRCNet/eyegive participants apparently got dropped from the rolls, and may or may not have been restored. If you signed up for eyegive, but think you may have been dropped -- or if you weren't signed up, but think you might want to be -- visit http://www.eyegive.com/html/ssi.cfm?CID=1060 to enroll or to find out more. This is a great way to raise money for DRCNet without spending a penny of your own, just by taking a few seconds each day to point and click. Members have already earned DRCNet nearly $1,500 through eyegive, and more of you signing up could turn it into a very significant source of revenue for the organization and for drug policy reform activism.
- DRCNet needs your support! Join the more than a thousand dues-paying members and cast your vote for reform today! Use our secure form at http://www.drcnet.org/drcreg.html to make a pledge or a credit card donation. BUMPER STICKERS ARE SENT TO ALL NEW MEMBERS -- check it out at http://www.drcnet.org/bumpersticker.gif. Help us by recruiting more e-mail subscribers too -- nearly 6,400 now, help us reach 7,000! (But please get their permission first, before signing them up.) Please note that donations to DRCNet are not tax-deductible.
You can make tax-deductible donations to the DRCNet Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The DRCNet Foundation will gradually be taking over much of the educational work currently being carried out by the Drug Reform Coordination Network. Help us celebrate the inauguration of the DRCNet Foundation by making a tax-deductible contribution! Note that the Foundation is not yet set up for credit cards, only checks or money orders.
Donations by check, tax-deductible to the DRCNet Foundation, or non-deductible to the Drug Reform Coordination Network (to support our lobbying work), may be mailed to: DRCNet, 2000 P St., NW, Suite 615, Washington, DC 20036. - Sorry, no editorial this week! But don't worry, the editorial section will be back next week.
