Last week we bragged that DRCNet blogger Scott Morgan had again made it to the front page of the popular web site Digg, bringing in nearly 40,000 people to our site. This week Scott did it again, when a post titled Digg and Reddit Users Want to Legalize Marijuana made it to the Digg top ten, so far garnering over 12,000 readers and still going. Thanks to support provided by members like you over the last several weeks, our server was ready to handle the traffic both times.

As I'm sure you realize, the costs of the machine, while significant, are only part of the picture. Literally every staff member at DRCNet is involved in this web campaign, and that's a major devotion of resources that can only be sustained if you support us. Could you let us know that you're "in" by making a donation today, or by sending us an email to let us know if you will be soon?

As an encouragement, our friends at Common Sense for Drug Policy have agreed to donate copies of their updated "tabloid" publication including over 40 of the drug policy reform public service ads they have run in major publications for the past several years. Donate any amount to DRCNet as part of this campaign, and we will send you a copy of the CSDP tabloid for free! Of course we continue to offer a range of books, videos and StoptheDrugWar.org gift items as member incentives as well.

Please visit our site if you haven't in awhile -- you'll find a professionally redesigned site, daily blog posts, mainstream news links, an "activist feed" of bulletins from other organizations, and of course the weekly Drug War Chronicle and many other interesting items. With your continued support we will take the message about ending prohibition to more and more people in more and more ways this year and next!
