Do you read Drug War Chronicle? If so, we'd like to hear from you. DRCNet needs two things:
- We are in between newsletter grants, and that makes our need for donations more pressing. Drug War Chronicle is free to read but not to produce! Click here to make a donation by credit card or PayPal, or to print out a form to send in by mail.
- Please send quotes and reports on how you put our flow of information to work, for use in upcoming grant proposals and letters to funders or potential funders. Do you use DRCNet as a source for public speaking? For letters to the editor? Helping you talk to friends or associates about the issue? Research? For your own edification? Have you changed your mind about any aspects of drug policy since subscribing, or inspired you to get involved in the cause? Do you reprint or repost portions of our bulletins on other lists or in other newsletters? Do you have any criticisms or complaints, or suggestions? We want to hear those too. Please send your response -- one or two sentences would be fine; more is great, too -- email [email protected] or reply to a Chronicle email or use our online comment form. Please let us know if we may reprint your comments, and if so, if we may include your name or if you wish to remain anonymous. IMPORTANT: Even if you have given us this kind of feedback before, we could use your updated feedback now too -- we need to hear from you!
Again, please help us keep Drug War Chronicle alive at this important time! Click here to make a donation online, or send your check or money order to: DRCNet, P.O. Box 18402, Washington, DC 20036. Make your check payable to DRCNet Foundation to make a tax-deductible donation for Drug War Chronicle -- remember if you select one of our member premium gifts that will reduce the portion of your donation that is tax-deductible -- or make a non-deductible donation for our lobbying work -- online or check payable to Drug Reform Coordination Network, same address. We can also accept contributions of stock -- email [email protected] for the necessary info.

Do I use the DRCNet You bet I do
First I use it as a compass to keep my own sanity from falling for the propaganda that is spewed out over the capitalist media 24/7 to keep the drug war alive so they can strike terror into the hearts and minds of the commonweal in order to ensure we have a docile regimented work force. Such measures which would see a child torn from the arms of it's mother over marijuana found in a hair sample can be construed as nothing less than a war of terror on the domestic population. It also keeps our prisons full of free, overwhelmingly black and hispanic labourers....( the shrinking middle class actually subsidizes these work house private prisons) for private manufacturers where ever these federal prisoners are housed.
Now I live in public housing, do you have any idea how hard it is to turn around all those years of brainwashing the conservatives have used depicting the social activists from the 60's as responsible for every social problem in the country from poverty to aids and abroad those long hairs caused us to lose the war in Vietnam. It's all hog was all the time and we need publications such as your own to provide that faint glimmer of rationality into a time when revelry in irrationalism east and west alike is leading us not to greater heights in human achievement but into the abyss where human progress is a notion barely recognized anywhere on the planet more likely to be snuffed out than embraced and nurtured for what it is-our capacity to be truly human.
Sincerely,
Joseph Colangelo
