Earlier this month DRCNet mentioned, in our August legislative bulletin (reprinted above) that we had made up new StoptheDrugWar.org buttons that members could receive with donations of $10 or more -- or for any smaller amount of money or even for free if necessary. Our suggestion was to wear the pins as you go to lobby your US Rep. and Senators while they are available in your district or state for the August recess. (See https://stopthedrugwar.org/actionalerts/ for our recommended agenda and resources.) Please visit http://www.drcnet.org/donate/ to donate any amount of money -- large or small, hopefully $10 or more because we really need your help right now, but any amount will be appreciated -- and we will send your button out first class mail within 24 hours, in time for you to wear to your lobby visit or anywhere else you want. If you can't afford to donate anything or aren't sure, or want to donate later -- or if you're donating now but are doing so by mail instead of online -- please send us an e-mail at [email protected] with your mailing address so we can mail out your button without delay. All respondents will also receive a free DRCNet/ StoptheDrugWar.org sticker. Our mailing address for donations is: DRCNet, P.O. Box 18402, Washington, DC 20036 We don't yet have a scanned photo of the new DRCNet button, but the design is the same as many of you have seen, the red stop sign logo. You can view samples of the button design on other DRCNet items (t-shirts, mugs and mousepads) at http://www.drcnet.org/donate/ online. We are also pleased to continue to offer "Bad Neighbor Policy: Washington's Futile War on Drugs in Latin America," by Cato Institute vice president for defense and foreign policy studies Ted Galen Carpenter. Last month the US House of Representatives voted to continue Colombia military/drug war aid at the proposed level, but the vote was the closest yet and the issue is very much alive. "Bad Neighbor Policy" is a "succinct, hard-hitting, fact-filled narrative of our quixotic crusade and its consequences," according to Phil Smith's book review in The Week Online (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/296.shtml#badneighborpolicy). You can get your own copy of "Bad Neighbor Policy" from DRCNet -- and we'll throw in a button and sticker for free -- by visiting http://www.drcnet.org/donate/ and making a contribution of $35 or more. (Previous book choices such as Jacob Sullum's "Saying Yes: In Defense of Drug Use" and other gift items are also available.) DRCNet needs your help to continue our work. Though funding prospects for later in the year are promising, your help is very much needed in the meantime -- DRCNet literally will be unable to pay its bills or payroll or keep its online petitions to Congress running through even next month, without your support. So please visit http://www.drcnet.org/donate/ to make a generous donation by credit card or to print out a form to send in with your donation by mail -- or just send your check or money order to: DRCNet, P.O. Box 18402, Washington, DC 20036 -- and contact us for instructions if you'd like to make a contribution of stock. Please note that donations to the Drug Reform Coordination Network are not tax-deductible. If you wish to make a tax-deductible donation to support our educational work, make your check payable to DRCNet Foundation, same address. Again, visit http://www.drcnet.org/donate/ to join, donate and get your free button and sticker or other drug reform items today. Thank you for your support.
