The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, opening the way for Republicans to block millions of Americans (mostly black, Hispanic or poor) from voting.

The election of Obama has mistakenly convinced many Americans that there is no racism.

But even if Republicans are not racist, they are unscrupulous. They don't need to hate blacks or hispanics or poor people to try to disenfranchise them.

US citizens: Support Obama's plan for reducing global heating.

It is not enough, but we need to fight those who will oppose it anyway.

Please sign this one too.

US citizens: Thank Wendy Davis for blocking the Texas anti-abortion law.

Texas State Senator Wendy Davis personally spoke for almost 11 hours to block approval of an anti-abortion law.

I have supported the campaign to reform the filibuster in the US senate to require senators to personally speak on the senate floor as long as it takes. I have not supported abolishing the filibuster entirely, because it's a good thing that this form of resistance is available when legislators are willing to go to great personal lengths to do it.

The UK needs a public inquiry into the thugs' systematic practice of spying on and smearing people who get in their way.
