** Pro-Choice America **
The McCain-Palin campaign and its operatives have used one smokescreen after the other to avoid the facts. Why? What are they hiding? Could it be their dangerously anti-choice records? Maybe they know what we know…that when pro-choice Republican and Independent women find out the truth, they will not support John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Help us get out the truth about McCain and Palin.

** National Gay and Lesbian Task Force **
Recently, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen announced that the initiative to pass a constitutional amendment to ban marriage for same sex couples in California has qualified for the November ballot.
The initiative would amend the California constitution to only recognize marriages "between a man and a woman."
Our challenge is clear. Those who oppose the dignity of our love and relationships are determined to deny us the fundamental freedom, fairness and equality we have worked so hard to achieve. We must get Californians to vote "No," and it all starts with you.
Join our coalition at Equality For All to fight this initiative. Click here and sign the pledge."Vow To Vote No" today!

** Change to Win **
The time has come for a new trade and globalization model - one that ensures economic security here at home while offering opportunities for sustainable development in countries around the world.
The TRADE Act is a new bill just introduced in Congress that would make this a reality by moving from the broken, discredited "free" trade model to a more equitable fair trade system. It would articulate the outcomes that any future trade deals will be expected to produce, and require that existing trade deals be renegotiated to remove their inequities.
Tell your Members of Congress to support the TRADE Act by signing on as co-sponsors today!

** Public Citizen **
After years of fighting against expansion of the failed NAFTA/ WTO model, we're thrilled to announce a new trade bill we can all be for.
The Trade Reform, Accountability, Development and Employment (TRADE) Act, cosponsored by fair trade champions Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Rep. Mike Michaud (D-Maine), was introduced Wednesday with over 50 House and Senate original cosponsors! This landmark legislation sets forth in concrete, detailed terms a progressive vision for good trade agreements in the future and criteria to renegotiate existing failed pacts like NAFTA and the WTO.
Please write your representative and senators and urge them to cosponsor the TRADE Act today.

** NARAL Pro-Choice America **
In 1970, this fundamental belief spurred a bipartisan coalition in Congress to set up a new program for low-income Americans, called the Title X ("ten") family-planning program.
Title X provides vital services, including pap smears, mammograms, and birth control to five million women and men every year. Family-planning services prevent unintended pregnancies and thus reduce the need for abortion. By investing in preventive health care, Title X saves taxpayers money in the long run.
Now, as our country faces a health-care crisis, anti-choice ideologues in Congress are trying to deny women access to this successful and proven program.
Click here to tell your member of Congress to fight back and fully fund Title X.

Remember January 2001? Those were the good old days before George Bush and Dick Cheney took office. At the time, gas cost just a dollar eighty-seven a gallon. And now? $3? $3.50? Even four dollars for a gallon of gas.
The cost of driving to work and flying to visit family keeps going up. Meanwhile, Exxon-Mobil made more profits last year than any corporation in human history.
It's long past time for real energy independence in America and that starts by making sure oil companies pay their fair share.

** Move On **
Right-win-nut pastor John Hagee says Katrina was New Orleans' fault. Old and senile McCain sought out, and embraces, Hagee's support. MoveOn members are trying to deliver a petition to old and senile McCain in New Orleans just a few hours from now: will you sign?
Here's the background: Old and senile McCain wants America to see him as a compassionate, mainstream politician. So he's going to New Orleans today for a photo-op in the 9th Ward.
But he's still trying to shore up his right-wing base—so this past Sunday, he again welcomed the support of right-wing-nut evangelist John Hagee, who said "Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans."
MoveOn members in New Orleans have organized an emergency rally outside old and senile McCain's event today. With the media looking on, they'll try to deliver our petition asking him to stop pandering to right-wing bigots like Hagee. They'll announce an up-to-the-minute number of signatures, and we'll have a real impact if we can say that hundreds of thousands have signed in only a few hours. Clicking here will add your name.
** Better World Campaign **
The U.S. will spend $192 billion this year in Iraq and Afghanistan alone, on top of regular defense spending. By contrast, the United Nations is helping bring stability to 17 conflict areas around the world—from Sudan to Lebanon to Haiti—all for a budget of less than $8 billion. Despite consistently supporting and voting for these peacekeeping missions at the UN, the U.S. isn’t keeping its promise to UN peacekeepers around the world.
The President’s budget request this year falls more than $600 million short of fully funding UN peacekeeping missions.
The U.S. already began the year $2.8 billion in debt to the UN. A debt of this enormity should not go unnoticed, and, thanks largely to your efforts, it hasn’t. Over 3,000 of you have taken action by sending letters to your members of Congress urging them to fully fund UN peacekeeping and to clear our debts. But we still need your help.
If you haven’t already, send a letter to your elected officials telling them to fully fund UN peacekeeping so we don’t have to go it alone in the world.
** NARAL Pro-Choice America **
Last month the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the shocking fact that at least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a STD.
Even as the teen STD crisis deepens, the Bush administration continues to funnel millions in taxpayer dollars to dangerous and discredited "abstinence-only" programs that replace lessons about birth control with lies about contraceptive failure.
Now that the House of Representatives has returned to pro-choice leadership, Congress is finally taking action and I hope you do, too.
Please urge your lawmakers to end funding for President Bush's reckless "abstinence-only" programs.
** VoteVets **
We need your help. This week, Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Richard Burr offered a watered-down substitute to the 21st Century GI Bill, which was introduced by Senators Jim Webb and Chuck Hagel.
We need you to write to your Senators telling them that the McCain bill is unacceptable.
** The Wilderness Society **
With 126,000 new oil and gas wells projected to be built across our western public lands over the next 20 years, it's up to us to ensure that areas rich in wilderness and wildlife are protected.
The Wilderness Society has been working locally and with WildAlert members like you to curtail drilling plans in areas with special wildlife and wilderness values. The Wyoming Range is just such a place.
A rugged chain of mountains in the western part of the state, the Wyoming Range is prime habitat for moose, deer and elk. It's a beloved spot for blue-ribbon fishing and other recreation. This place is so special that Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso has introduced legislation to protect it from leasing.
But the Forest Service is considering whether to lease these public lands to oil and gas drilling before Congress can act to protect them. Please take action today and ask the agency to withdraw the proposed leases in the Wyoming Range.
