Action Alerts Round-Up

Do More Than Just Vote!

Due to the number of petitions and letters, I am breaking habit of giving each one it's own post. All of these deserve your attention. At a time when the MSM can only focus on one scandal at a time, we in the reality based community need to multi-task and maintain a wide focus. Many things slip beneath the radar and with a corrupt and inept administration like Bush/Cheney, they use it to their maximum advantage. Take Action. Do it now...!!! Do it often...!!!
