I'm a frequent poster to The Resistance(actually, I'm the most frequent poster to that group) and we've got a very responsive moderator who deals quickly with disruptors. Average traffic is about ten messages per day.

Another good group is USA Terror Alert. Average message traffic is one or two messages per day. There are a few Freeper idiots on the list, so you may want to add a few to your BLOCK list eventually.

I'm going to give a guarded endorsement of the Fascism File group. The group messages are sent by Moderator-only. The Mod is a good guy, but he's not always very careful about verifying the information he shares. The 9/11 Konspiracy Korner crowd will love this group. You might want to join this group if your cellular plan doesn't charge you extra for receiving test messages. Average traffic is about ten messages per day.

Also, sign-up for The People for The American Way Political Action Alerts.
I've never actually gotten a message from them yet, but it's a good idea to join, just in case they need us to spring into action.

description: This is a group for people who want to debate Fundamentalists. You can't teach a pig to sing. It only wastes your time and annoys the pig. We are in a war to save our planet from a global armageddon intentionally triggered by Christian Fundamentalists who think they need to kill us all so Jesus will rapture them. I'm just another godless atheist in search of world peace and harmony. Atheists are more "Christian" than anyone I know. See "The Affirmations of Secular Humanism": tinyurl.com/e4ys7
