When the Regularly Elected Majority is Labeled as Tyranny
This seems connected/ similar to Sharron Angle, who is running against Harry Reid in Nevada. Angle, is suggesting that if Republicans aren’t elected in a majority to take back control of the country, that Tea Party activists (and others??) ought to take up guns and use them to force a coup in Washington.
Saving the Constitution from Constitutionality: A Case for Bigotry.
The degree to which the very Constitution, or at least what it means is at stake, should give anyone from the progressive left to the vast moderate middle a pause, and then help them hurry to the ballot box to protect the very foundation of the country. Or it may be too late.
The Fallacy of Spending Cuts to Save the State’s Economy
No politician who has an authentic care for the notion of “building jobs” can also be calling for cuts in spending as the only source of economic recovery. They are either a hypocrite, or naive, or a sleazy liar using a knee-jerk causing sound bite for effect only.
Remembering 911
A different avenue, is to get strong, and recognize that while you can’t stop it, you can, with every fiber of your being, be present to it, so that what is happening is known and thus can never be forgotten. Then, down the road, if others attempt to exploit or misrepresent the reality of it, you have the truth inside of you.
Commentary: Direct Action and Get Equal
Direct Action is a powerful tool for political change, however often misunderstood. It may include marching and being at a protest rally, but it is far more than that.

GetEQUAL and Justice League – Activate! To Rep. Chris Carney: Stop Voting Against LGBT Constituents and Support Their Right to Employment Protections
While Rep. Carney is out on the campaign trail worried about his own job, he continues to leave his LGBT constituents unprotected and without any form of federal employment protections. Like all Americans, we are worried about our job security and Rep. Carney’s votes based on discrimination are completely unacceptable.
Was President Lincoln Gay?
The more real people, who we can look back on history and see what they accomplished, and who were gay or lesbian (or would be labeled as such by today’s standards) the more we can refute the horrific claims of the anti-gay crusaders.
Marcellus Shale and the Future of Pennsylvania
What we need is a governor with enough budget and planning experience to allow for drilling in safe and controlled ways, such that the companies must work in environmentally safe ways, and everyone benefits from the money that can be raised, instead of leaving all of that the to the big Gas and Oil companies. We need to elect Dan Onorato.
Proposition 8 and the Battle for Marriage Continues
No matter how passionate you are about Marriage Equality, it is in your best interest to understand the nuances of Walker’s decision, and what the next steps may mean. It could mean the difference between an end to Prop 8 for California, or a cornerstone for the foundation of the case that will allow Same- Sex Marriage across the entire country.
