I'm willing to hear both sides of the nuclear power argument, but I don't see why, if nuclear power is economically viable, the taxpayers must open wallets and purses for it.

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin wants his agency to make crucial decisions about media ownership rules behind closed doors and without public input. That’s what happened in 2003, until Congress and the courts stepped in. We shouldn’t let history repeat itself.

Contact your Representative today, and let them know that if the FCC won’t listen to the public, Congress can and should exercise its oversight power.

These media ownership rules are too important to be kept secret. We need full disclosure and a robust public debate before the FCC votes to make any changes that would allow Big Media to get even bigger.

HA!

Your list is actually a lot like mine! I am shocked by your list too.

I love how Mike Gravel says:
"Love trumps morality, and morality trumps politics."

It's not that I just joined these groups. I've done e-mail activism for a while, but I just got blitzed by all of them today.
