    Troy Davis is to be executed today in Georgia at 7PM, despite overwhelming and worlwide opposition to what is obviously a race killing.

  • Civil Unions are great, but DE needs marriage equality
    This May 11 was an historic day as Governor Jack Markell signed Civil Unions into law in Delaware. That's great, but it falls far short of full civil rights for lesbian and gay couples. Only full marriage equality will do that. Sign our petition demanding that Delaware enact full marriage equality in 2012.

  • Save the American Folk Art Museum!
    Quoting Roberta Smith in The New York Times 9/19/11: "Please. Someone, everyone, do something to save the American Folk Art Museum from dissolution and dispersal. Or at least slow down the process, so that all options can be thoroughly considered. New York’s contemporary artists, and New York as a whole, need the creative energy of this stubborn, single-minded little institution, its outstanding exhibition program and its wondrous collection, an unparalleled mixture of classic American folk art and 20th-century outsider geniuses.

  • Ask the UW-Madison Administration to Modify Student ID Cards
    Currently, most student identification cards, including those issued by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, are not compliant with 2011 Wisconsin Act 23, commonly known as the Voter ID law. The Administration could modify our ID cards to make them valid for voting purposes. We're asking them to move on this issue as soon as possible, so that students will have fewer obstacles to voting in the spring 2011 elections.

  • amendment to allow only public financing of all federal elections
    As a result of the Citizens United U.S. Supreme Coust decision it will take a Constitutional amendment to get special interest money out of our federal elections. We must do this in order to to keep our politicians and elections free of the bribes proferred by wealthy individuals, corporations and PACs in their efforts to influence every decision most of elected representatives make.
