One-Click Activist

Has anyone heard of True Majority? I find them to be a more friendly version of MoveOn.org. Founded by Ben Cohen, of Ben & Jarry's fame, and the organization only offers to bring issues to the attention of members. Most of the time, you can simply hit reply and send to take action, and the organization does the rest. They contact all the relevant folks in government on your behalf.

It's really great for people like me, who are living in a place where they care little for local politics, but still want to be able to do something about certian issues. The most recent one has been about EPA and toxic materials and mold in New Orleans.

Check it out, if you wish. It looks pretty good to me. They have a great flash animation in which Ben outlines how the Federal Budget could be allocated a little differently... using OREOS!

Ok, I'm off to class...

That is all.
