I was just on another forum that I belong to and someone posted this up there. I posted this up on yet another forum so people are obviously talking about this. I know for a fact that some of the people on the forum that I posted donated. 
By other forums I mean different sites, if you didn't pick that up.

yes! a great way to be part of this movement is to post clips of the film or the full film EVERYWHERE. I think even the most conservative, anti-drug person would have a hard time NOT being moved by the stories of Amy Povah, for example, and the guy with MS who died in jail over a bit of cannabis.

I want to thank dwpineal and everyone who has made donations so far!!! we are OH SO CLOSE (1600 away!) with 8 days left.

I am a victim of the drug war, as i had a commercial ganja operation raided a few years back. Im still on probation. I was doing nothing worse than an alcohol, tobacco, or gun manufacturer. I have since used the skill i learned to start a organic farm! i would never have been able to have the wealth of cultivation knowledge i need to run the farm without my past experiences. I am interested in helping the cause as well, but as i am on probation im a little leary about getting out there right now. Besides a donation what can i do to help without have my name/face associated with the cause?
Will there be another showinf in chicago, or one is Madison, WI??? I missed the 1 in chicago, but i think Madison, WI could be a place to hit up due to the majority of Wisconsinites wanting to have medical legalized; its just the politicians (who want to get re-elected so they dont want to risk aproving meds), the medical sector(they loose their job if people find out you can grow your own medicine), and the law enforcement agencies(they just like to power trip i think and busting "drugees" is right up their alley) that are holding meds back. We were so close in WI this year

Hmmmm.....that's kinda tough....you can make an anonymous donation if you'd like? I can't really think of anything else, sorry! We always need help spreading the word virally and by word of mout, so if you can think of any websites or forums that would be interested where you can post anonymously...
we don't have any plans for another chicago screening, or a madison screening, but i will keep madison in mind as a possibility, thank you for the heads up!

Yeah, ill have to tell my close friends to watch/read the exile nation and then have them get the word out. Word of mouth can be quick and powerful under the right circumstances. Good luck with your ventures

This is an absolutely amazing and informative film, I have already shared it with my friends . I can relate to a lot of stuff said in this film. I got arrested for shoplifting, I stole a pair of jeans and a wallet as gifts for friends. Yes this was incredibly stupid, but I was also a heavy drug user, young, broke and wasn't thinking clearly. And honestly did it with the best intentions. Now the ONLY reason I was arrested was because I did not have ID on me. I left my driver's license in my car. The officers asked me my name. I told them I have two names (I legally have two names, I was adopted from a country where they don't legally change names) to the United States where my name was completely changed. They said I was lying. I got charged TWICE for "lying" to two officers. They stuck me in jail for 2 days, straight from the store. I went to court, got a year's worth of probation and drug testing once a week for a year. I was clean for a year, followed everything they said. But now on my record, it says that I was charged for Theft II and False Information given to an officer.
Now I have been working since I was 17, always had a steady good job until I got mixed up with heavy drugs for a couple years and then went to jail. I understand that, I did something wrong, did a year's worth of probation, 2 days in jail and drug testing. But ever since then, it is on my record. I can't get a job anywhere, and I am very qualified. Even though I have straightened my life out, completely changed my ways, got MYSELF off a bad heroin addiction all on my own, it doesn't matter. I still can't get a job, I don't have money to support myself. The punishment doesn't stop. It is honestly absurd. It has been 3 years since I got arrested, and it is still nice and clear on my record. I have gotten interviews for great jobs, and I have about 3 years managerial experience so I know I was qualified for those jobs. But it doesn't matter, my record just puts a nice big stain on my image. There aren't enough jobs in the US, and the jails are spilling over. Now that I have moved back to my home country, it really makes you reflect on how fucked up things really are.

In other words, it is all a vicious cycle. A person is broke, steals, gets arrested, changes their ways, but then can't get a job because of their record. So they are back at square one, wanting to steal because the system has fucked them over.
