Its very important that we reach the goal, because a major philanthropist has agreed to match the first $3,000,000 that MPP raises in 2007. If we dont raise at least $3,000,000, well be leaving money on the table, which means we wont be able to fully pursue our important work in early 2008. Would you please help us meet our goal and get the matching funds by donating right now? This is a huge opportunity for MPP and all of us who are working to end marijuana prohibition. If we succeed at securing the remainder of $3.0 million + $3.0 million = $6.0 million in revenues in the next 20 days, well be able to complete an ambitious slate of projects going into next year. Would you please help make this financial windfall a reality by making your own contribution today? Youll notice in the upper right-hand corner that we are currently more than $800,000 short with 20 days left to go and so our goal might seem unrealistic. However, most high-level donors traditionally wait until the end of the year to make their tax-deductible donations to various nonprofit organizations. And this year, unfortunately, a much larger proportion of donors are waiting. Regardless of when they donate this month, we still need you to donate to bring us up to the $3,000,000 goal. Indeed, I personally wait until the end of year to make my own modest donations to my favorite nonprofit organizations, and Im hoping that the same is true for you: Of the more than 100,000 people on this e-mail list, only 2,500 have donated any amount of money to MPP this year. If each one of the 97,500 people who hasnt yet donated would give $10 right now, we would easily reach our goal with 20 days to spare. I want to thank you in advance if you decide to make a financial donation today ... Sincerely, Rob Kampia Executive Director Marijuana Policy Project Washington, D.C. P.S.
