Cost of War
http://www.costofwar.com/
War affects everyone, not just those directly involved in the fighting. This webpage is a simple attempt to demonstrate one of the more quantifiable effects of war: the financial burden it places on our tax dollars.
Granny D
http://www.grannyd.com
When the presumed Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate dropped out of the race days before the filing deadline in June of this year, Granny D – having just completed a more than 22,000 mile voter registration effort directed at working women – surprised everyone by deciding to challenge the incumbent.
She is running on the same message she has walked long for: our nation’s leaders have been corrupted by special interests dollars and no longer represent the interests of their constituents. Her candidacy will prove that ordinary people can run for office and win with the support of small donations from individuals.

MoveOn
http://www.moveon.org
MoveOn is working to bring ordinary people back into politics. With a system that today revolves around big money and big media, most citizens are left out. When it becomes clear that our "representatives" don't represent the public, the foundations of democracy are in peril. MoveOn is a catalyst for a new kind of grassroots involvement, supporting busy but concerned citizens in finding their political voice.
Punkvoter.com

Punk bands, musicians, and record labels have built a coalition to educate, register and mobilize progressive voters.
Something needs to be done to unite the youth vote and bring real activism back into our society. Punk rock has always been on the edge and in the forefront of politics. It is time to energize the majority of today’s disenfranchised youth movement and punk rockers to make change a reality.
September Eleventh Families For Peaceful Tomorrows
http://www.peacefultomorrows.org/
Nearly three years ago, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows was born out of a shared belief that America’s military response to the 9/11 attacks which took our loved ones’ lives would result in the deaths of countless innocent civilians and increase recruitment for terrorist causes, making the United States, and the world, less safe and less free for generations to come.

The Nation
http://www.thenation.com
The Nation will not be the organ of any party, sect, or body. It will, on the contrary, make an earnest effort to bring to the discussion of political and social questions a really critical spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of violence, exaggeration, and misrepresentation by which so much of the political writing of the day is marred.
