Drupal for nonprofits/social change Q&A
This is an open Q&A discussion for anyone with or in nonprofits/social change groups and using Drupal. This free call is sponsored by NTEN but open to everyone! (Note that the linked event page is in the NTEN members-only site, but you do NOT have to be a member of NTEN to join the call.)
Drupal Questions n' Answers Chat Call
You'd think that with 3 co-moderators, this would be a busy CoP. But you all know how busy Drupal keeps a person. You also likely know how valuable it can be to talk with other Drupalists.

New "Drupal for Good" Site -- Goalraiser
Hi all,
I want to share a new site I developed (using Drupal of course)
It's called Goalraiser and it allows anyone to turn a personal goal into a fundraiser for a cause they care about. (I'm losing 20 pounds to raise money for kids with cancer).
We already have a few campaigns -- someone is going to publish their manuscript, another make 500 calls to get Obama re-elected.
You can start your own campaign if you like. It's free and 100% of money raised goes to the cause.

In the future more affiliated networks might join and thematic sites about related subjects (permaculture, green building, etc.) might get integrated.

"email your leaders" and petition modules. Functionality for contacting your MP / congress member, signing e-petitions
I'm looking for modules that do the following 1) "email your leaders" function. Allowing users to send a standard or customised email to their political representatives. The correct political representative is identified using a zip code / post code search. New email campaigns can be set up fairly easily. 2) a basic petition signing module. Users simply enter a name and email and are then recorded as having signed the petition.
Can someone point me to a module or combination of modules that do the above. Thanks in advance for your help. Alex
