[sudo-discuss] reminding members to pay up

[Jake]

We need to send an email out to everyone who is a member of sudoroom, 
reminding people of the minimum monthly contribution.

We should remind people that they need to check to see if they have been 
paying, and that if they have not, they should back-pay to catch up, and 
sign in with sudo-humans to set up recurring donations.

one-time donations can easily be made here (even with bitcoin!):

https://sudoroom.org/donate/

and then sign up for recurring payments here:

https://sudoroom.org/humans/

A lot of sudo members have not been paying!  and now we are in a 
make-or-break sink-or-swim situation financially (as is the Omni in 
general) so let's wake people up.

I do not have the ability to access the list of members or their email 
addresses, so if you do, please speak up and/or make this happen somehow.

thank you
