From 3,800 at year's beginning, DRCNet's rapid response team (this mailing list) has now surpassed the 7,000 mark and continues to grow rapidly. But to truly build our numbers to the level at which political leaders must take note, we are going to need to amass the financial resources to promote and recruit for the organization. You can help in at least two ways. 1) Join DRCNet: Over 1,050 of you have made a donation of some size to DRCNet. Thank you! Your money goes further than you think, as each month we report to our major donors on how many new members have come on board and how much members have donated, and the more they see that you have the confidence to invest in DRCNet, the more they will be confident to invest. Donate $35 or more to the organization, and you will receive a free copy of the gripping new volume, Shattered Lives, Portraits from America's Drug War. (Visit http://www.hr95.org to see more of what this important new book is about.) To donate, use our form at https://www.drcnet.org/cgi-shl/drcreg.cgi (encrypted transmission, especially for credit card donations), or http://www.drcnet.org/cgi-shl/drcreg.cgi (no encryption, recommended you print it out and mail in with a check), or just send your check or money order to: DRCNet, 2000 P St., NW, Suite 615, Washington, DC 20036. Please note that contributions to DRCNet are not tax-deductible. If you wish to contribute beyond the basic membership dues and are looking to make a deductible gift, you can support our educational work through a tax-deductible donation to the DRCNet Foundation. 2) Earnings from the eyegive online fundraising program have soared to over $40 per day! This is a significant amount of revenue for a non-profit our size, so our heartfelt thanks to the more than 500 of you have made this possible through your participation. If you don't know about eyegive, point your browser to http://www.eyegive.com/html/ssi.cfm?CID=1060 to find out. If you've signed up but not kept up, you can make it easy by selecting http://www.eyegive.com as your browser's home page. You can earn valuable dollars for the cause, just by pointing and clicking on the eyegive home page whenever you feel like it, up to fives times a day. And yes, we have gotten checks from eyegive in the right amounts, it's legit! A non-monetary and essential way to increase our political effectiveness, of course, is to respond to our action alerts yourself. (The next article has one, in fact.) And don't forget to let us know by sending us a note at [email protected].
