Which progressive groups are you volunteering to/donating to?
Me:

The DNC
America Coming Together
MoveOn

Possibly DemocracyForAmerica, once it starts to settle down and get itself a little more developed.

2. Human Rights Campaign Fund
The HRC (Human Rights Campaign Fund) gets an automatic $10 a month from my debit card.
http://www.hrc.org

Some people are convinced of the "truth" of their anti-gay delusions due to intellectual and
moral laziness. Others are clearly insane.

7. The Kerry camp...
I don't see any reason in putting it elsewhere with new campaign finance reform laws.

10. Hippo
When it comes to organizations that cater to a specific goal, such as protecting the environment for example, ads by such prestigious groups as the Sierra Club or LCV can be quite effective.


MoveOn has some of the most creative and moving (pardon the pun) adverts seen since perhaps LBJ's ads against Barry Goldwater.


My personal opinion is that adverts involving young children are some of the most effective when it comes to issues that liberals stand for like healthcare, education, air and water quality, etc.

11. I also think they would have a really hard time silencing the Sierra club
Campaign finance laws or not, it would take another miscarriage of justice on the level of Bush v Gore or Dred Scott for the government to be able to keep the Sierra club from publicizing the President's environmental record.

12. Kerry campaign,
and MoveOn.org. MoveOn's ad campaign is worth every dollar sent and I believe they'll be very effective this November.
Emily's List is another favorite.

13. MoveOn and DFA
Been supporting MoveOn since it was founded in late '98 and will continue to do so. They've accomplished much more than I thought they could at the outset.

DFA and local Congressional Dem candidates like Paul Babbitt, 1st District Arizona, will get my time and dollars too.

Kerry can not do it alone. We need to help by replacing those winger wankers in Congress with our guys.

16. I give money to..
MoveOn and the ACLU. I LOVE these groups because they use their monies so well - MoveOn's commercials are very much-needed. And the ACLU is a liberal catch-all for me; if a lawsuit is needed, they can be trusted to get your back.

These two give me the most bang for my buck.

19. Ongoing donations and volunteering
for Citizen Action of New York and Working Families Party (NYS third party).

"When I can" donations to ACLU, Amnesty, MoveOn.

I highly recommend that anyone with a Citizen Action in their area check it out, also Action America National Organization.
