E-Actions for Freedom

Donate to the Drug Policy Alliance

Received via e-mail from the Drug Policy Alliance:

We won a big victory earlier this month! By refusing to review a lower court's support for a doctor's right to recommend medical marijuana to patients in need, the U.S. Supreme Court became an unexpected ally in the fight for saner drug policies.

This victory, along with your willingness to take action and demand that our elected leaders end the wasteful and ineffective "war on drugs," is a source both of inspiration and optimism for the future.

But make no mistake - with John Ashcroft calling the shots in Washington, and other hard-liners in statehouses around the nation, drug policies based on reason, compassion and justice will take all of our collective effort in the coming years.

That is why I need to ask you to take another step and expand your efforts by making an immediate contribution of $50 or more to Drug Policy Alliance. Your support is essential if we are to capitalize on recent victories and take action at the state level to make marijuana legal for medical purposes.

Please donate to the Drug Policy Alliance right now:

We will only ask you, our valued activists, for financial support every now and then. But given the enormity of the challenge, we need to call upon all who share our vision for the future.

The so-called "War on Drugs" is now in its fourth decade and has cost this country hundreds of billions of dollars and countless wrecked lives. The new drug warriors like Attorney General John Ashcroft are making the Drug War bigger, meaner and more wasteful of our tax dollars.

Your contribution of $50 or more is urgently needed to expand our efforts to end the Drug War and bring reason, compassion and justice to our nation's drug policies.

Together, we can put an end to the excesses and injustices of the Drug War. Join the fight today!

Thank you!
