Politics & Activism

 

ACLU Watch
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has maintained the position that civil liberties must be respected, even in times of national emergency. In these days of the so-called “Patriot Act” our civil liberties are under serious attack. This website monitors the ACLU’s efforts to protect our freedom. It also monitors the People’s reaction to their efforts.

 

Blackwater Watch
Blackwater USA is the world’s largest private mercenary army with over 20,000 soldiers and it’s own air force.

 

Channel 82
For 82 days in 1968, Robert F. Kennedy ran for President. His campaign was described as magical and mystical. With RFK, we believed that anything was possible. Then his life was tragically cut short. His great potential left unfulfilled. There hasn’t been another politician, since RFK, who has inspired this country so profoundly…until Barak Obama. Will Barack Obama be able to recreate the magic of those 82 days?

Free Speech Watch
All civil liberties must be respected, even in times of national emergency, however, the Freedom of Speech afforded by the U.S. Constitution is arguably the most important. In these days of the so-called “Patriot Act” our free speech is constantly under serious attack. This website monitors the efforts to protect our free speech. It also monitors the People’s reaction to those efforts.

 

NRA Watch
The National Rifle Association (NRA) is recognized as a major political force and as America’s foremost defender of our Second Amendment rights, however, they can sometimes go too far in their efforts and need to be watched closely. This website also monitors the People’s reaction to their efforts.

Right To Die
Do we own our own bodies or does the State? If we do, then we have the right to choose our own time and manner of death. If the State does, then are we just pieces of national property?

 

Senate Watch
One of the most important thing that the Senate does solely by itself is to hold confirmation hearings for Presidential appointments. This website keeps an eye on that process.

 

The Veteran Watchdog
Regardless of your feelings about war or the current administration, you should respect the sacrifices made by the men and women of the United States Armed Forces while fighting honorably under the U.S. Flag. As a nation, we have a duty to make sure that they are taken care of properly when they return to civilian life. We must make sure that they are not subjected to the horrors of war, in our name, and then subjected to abandonment and abuse when they return home. This website will record their lives as veterans using news reports, blog posts and video. Hopefully, it will show more good than bad. Hopefully, the bad will be seen as a national disgrace and acted upon.

 

War Profiteering
In every war there are those corporations that make an extremely large profit specifically from the war. The scariest offenders are those that have the power to get a government to start a war on their behalf.

 

Wiretap Watch

Worst President
How often is President Bush mentioned near the phrase “worst president” in news reports and in blog posts?
