The reform sites, individually and as a group, need to make it as easy as possible for people to donate to the drug policy reform organizations. Donating money is a very efficient way to help out. Many people cannot justify spending their time learning about reform, but they want to help out. Using this present set of pages and making multiple, recurring online contributions to organizations that best match your interests enables you to provide the most help in the least time, with the least effort.
The Reform Site Navigation Table here is the most efficient way to join many Reform organizations. If you want to support many of the Reform organizations but your time is extremely limited, you can join all the sites within the shortest time by navigating via this page directly to the join/membership/donation pages. Organizations need large membership counts in addition to money and volunteer activity.
You can donate instantly or scope out sites, or go straight to the pages *within* each site -- rapidly, through this innovative interface, new for Nov 19, 2000. I'm continuing to fill it in today.
I am not yet endorsing any of these reform organizations. Putting together this table and the site redesign recommendations will provide a clear perspective for me and everyone to compare. For your concerns, where is your philanthropy dollar going to bring about the most change? What reading and what writing on your part will bring about the most change? This table is a new device to research these questions quickly and efficiently.
I am going to use the navigation table to quickly join, in bulk, all the leading organizations and the entheogen law reform organizations. When I read their printed publications and listserv bulletins, and read their sites more, I will know which organizations are the most in need of my money and online webmastering activities.
I am not saying these *are* good organizations/sites to invest in, but I am saying that they are definitely organizations you should investigate for possibly donate to, or join, or assist, or work through.
[To do: Consider adding column to the table, for discussion forums -- several sites have these.]
Reform-site webmasters, please see these sites (same links as more complete Quickinfo column in the above table) to see the broken links etc. I found at your site.
These local pages have links directly to the donation pages at the reform sites, and online donation portal site links. Also, recommendations for the webmasters at these sites to greatly increase the visibility and use of their donation pages.

Memorial link -- Peter McWilliam's donation page (old, don't know if donations needed). http://www.petertrial.com/donations.htm. He died because the gov't didn't respect medical cannabis used in accordance with Prop 215.
All 501(c)3 organizations, you can instantly donate to them online via Helping.org, which uses the Guidestar.org database, which has the data from form 990 that was submitted to the government by the organization. I recommend that each organization improve their entry at Guidestar.org by registering there(free) and editing their database entry.
"Join" page/concept is misnamed -- it drives away all current members. What about renewing?

Sort and group organizations above.
Gather links-to-links URLs for reform sites, create a local superlist of reform sites.
Check my donations directory to find other 501(c)3 orgs. Add yes/no column for each. Add link to Helping.org for that org.
Merge brainstorm/ paradigm-shift emails sent to alchemind & kubby around 11/15/2000.

Hemp & Cannabis Foundation: Guidestar donation page, 501(c)3 nonprofit donation at guidestar/helping.
>We thank everyone who has helped CRRH [get the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act]. Thank you to everyone who gathered signatures and donated to help us achieve this goal. Without your support and effort, we wouldn't couldn't have done it. Thank you! Come what may, CRRH will continue to be at the forefront of efforts to end adult and medical marijuana prohibition and restore industrial. We plan on organizing Cannabis Tax Act petition drives in Washington State and other areas soon. If we don't win in Oregon this year, we will organize and be stronger than ever in the next Oregon initiative cycle.
We also have a new non-profit organization, The Hemp & Cannabis Foundation. THCF's status as a 501(c)(3) organization will help our cause by purchasing advertising to tell the truth about hemp and cannabis, and helping low-income medical patients who need medicinal cannabis.
We continue to organize for the vote and to produce our weekly TV series, Cannabis Common Sense: http://www.crrh.org/hemptv/video_ccs.html - broadcast live to a half million cable subscribers' homes in 6 counties in Oregon and one in Washington State, and on the Internet.
Please contribute to help our cause. We owe a half dozen petitioners about $500. And, as we continue, so do our bills. You may contribute to help our political efforts or our nonprofit organization by mailing a check or money order to our P.O. Box below or, using Visa, Mastercard, or Discover, going to our secure, encrypted web donation site linked from http://www.crrh.org/donate/secure.html.
