Organizations
Many of the addresses are excerpted from a list posted by [SCJ] which also includes addresses that he excerpeted from what seems to be a drug policy list. Some of the phone numbers are from a list posted by [LVC]. Some media addresses are from [DB], [TD], and [AF]. There is also material from [AE]. Many of the smaller organizations were provided by [PN] or [JC].
I'm pretty sure some of these are way out of date. It would be nice if someone could add more commentary about the organizations.
The classification of organizations is mostly guesswork. Training Organizations This section by [RB] and [RT]. Entries labelled "also A&F" are also mentioned in Paxton Quigley's book Armed & Female.
