** People for the American Way **
People For the American Way's work to expose false-Pastor John Hagee for the hate-monger that he is helped lead to his repudiation by old and senile McCain. But old and senile McCain adviser gop-whore wanna-be Joe Lieberman hasn't gotten the message yet.

Tell gop-whore wanna-be Lieberman to cancel his keynote address at Hagee's Christians United For Israel Summit.

** Earth Justice **
The Tongass National Forest in southeastern Alaska is the crown jewel of our nation's wild forests. At 17 million acres, the Tongass is home to a stunning variety of wildlife, including wild salmon, bears, eagles, and wolves. This key piece of our natural heritage should be preserved for future generations to enjoy, yet the Bush administration wants to open up 2.3 million acres of Tongass backcountry for roads and clearcut logging.

Tell the Forest Service that this pristine forest must be protected!

** The Petitionsite **
Tired of neocons, extremist evangelical Christians and right-wing Jewish leaders co-opting what it means to be "Pro-Israel?" For too long, these have been the loudest voices in American politics when it comes to Israel and the Middle East.
It's time to give voice to our values -- and call for real peace and security for Israel, the Palestinians and the entire Middle East. Stand strong against the politics of fear.

We can create the political power to promote real peace and security, without the hatred and fear-mongering from the extremists. Together, we can fight for a truly "pro-Israel" perspective: real American leadership for a negotiated end to the Arab-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli conflicts.

Please take a moment to stand for a new pro-peace, pro-Israel political voice »

** Fresh and Easy Facts **
A new non-union grocery chain called Fresh & Easy is opening in communities throughout Southern California, Nevada and Arizona.

What’s different about this non-union grocery chain is that Fresh & Easy is owned by Tesco, one of the largest and most aggressive corporations in the world. Tesco is known as the "Wal-Mart of Britain" and they’re now opening stores in the United States under the name Fresh & Easy.

Tesco has refused to meet with UFCW leaders, and just like Wal-Mart, they want their stores to be non-union.

Tesco has already opened over 60 stores and are planning to open a further 150 by the end of the year. We cannot afford another company like Wal-Mart in our communities. Here’s what you can do:

For the first time in our history, the American military has turned its operational apparatus upon the American public. And it's high time that it stop.

On April 21, the New York Times ran a shocking expose on a Pentagon program to generate favorable news coverage of the Iraq war. Starting with the run up to the war, the program fed talking points and information to a set of retired military officials who appeared on TV thousands of times parading as objective pundits.

We're teaming up with some other groups like Freepress to send a letter to the five members of Congress - Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Armed Service Committee Chair Ike Skelton, Senate Armed Service Committee Chair Carl Levin and House Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs Chair John Tierney - who can start up Congressional hearings on this despicable program.

Add your name to the letter:
