Dear Robert, 
Exciting News from Switzerland: An Initiative for a referendum on monetary reform is starting!   
1) “Vollgeld” Initiative 
In Switzerland anyone can bring about a national referendum on changes to the Constitution by collecting 100,000 signatures within an 18 month period. It's called a “people’s initiative”. Our sister organisation in Switzerland (MoMo) is launching “Vollgeld Initiative” on 7th June!

You can help too even if you are not Swiss citizen

One way to help would be to donate. MoMo (Monetäre Modernisierung) need many people on the streets explaining what it's all about and collecting signatures, and at the moment all of them are volunteers. They would like to pay for two people to work full-time coordinating the campaign. There are costs to get the signatures validated, and for campaign materials (flyers etc.), distribution etc. This will cost about 500,000 Swiss Francs (£330,000) in total. (Aside: Hardly any Swiss initiatives have been successful with less than around 500,000 Swiss francs). To date they have about 200,000 Francs donated.  

If you were able to support this initiative, it could just make all the difference to bringing this important referendum to Switzerland, and perhaps even become the catalyst for monetary reform in other countries.
