Feedback: Do You Read Drug War Chronicle?
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.

Thank you for a needed and valuable service
For decades I have followed and been outraged by the atrocity known as the war on drugs. Over the years I have been saddened and frustrated that opposition to this ferocious and societally devastating reincarnation of 1920s prohibition has hardly ever gotten enough traction to make a dent in the armor of the political and public relations machine that has kept it going and growing. It always seemed obvious to me that prohibition simply empowers organized crime, corrupts public institutions, distorts foreign policy and undermines constitutional rights just by keeping the drug trade so insanely lucrative. Why wasn't that obvious to everyone? Now at last the climate seems to be changing thanks to the efforts of DRCNet and a few other organizations that have been intelligent, informative, honest, effective and tenacious in their efforts to raise awareness among policy makers and the general public of both the damage done by the war on drugs and the practical policy alternatives. DRCNet in particular has been a tremendously valuable source of information and inspiration for those of us already convinced of the urgent need for change, as well as a trustworthy resource for those who may have just started to question this war and want to know more. I review the contents of every one of the Drug War Chronicle emails I receive, and visit the web site to read specific articles several times a month. Please keep up the good work, and I will continue to spread the word and offer you what modest financial support I can.
