Moveon.org raised more money in one day after a censure of the senate. Thanks U.S. Senate, you helped more people realize how you are not representing us. Instead, our Senate lives in la la land.
I wanted to write about the content in this video. The video exists, so I don't have to.

Congratulations Pete Stark
Congratulations Pete Stark (D-CA) for being this years Humanist of the year.
The American Humanist Association is an organization that promotes a value system that is derived from a completely secular view of the world. These values may change as more information becomes available. Pete Stark is being honored because he publicly admitted that he doesn't believe in god, and he is a representative in our congress. This is significant because many Americans feel that they would be least likely to vote for an atheist out of many other groups.

legislative branch circumvented
The executive branch of the American Federal Government has effectively been circumvented. Not only that, the legislative branch has been cut out of law making in a very underhanded way.
First consider the NSHS executive order which describes the "power" that George W. Bush has to declare martial law, or "provide for the continuity of government." Next consider the fact that the executive branch has not allowed the continuity of government plans to be reviewed by the homeland security committee of congress to review these plans for continuity of government (video below). What in these plans requires that the plans not be reviewed by our legislative branch; I shiver to think of it.

Score four for liberty
This past Tuesday was the ACLU’s day of action. The events this week make one wonder; Are we winning? Let’s see what has recently happened.
A US Supreme court admitted Guantanamo cases. It’s safe to say that this wasn’t only caused by the day of action, it has been the result of constant pressure applied to our “law makers” and advocacy. Ultimately, the judges finally came around. This result is in favor of a civil society. Without habeas corpus courts are nothing more than a barbaric circus.
The New Hampshire Governor signed a law banning real ID. New Hampshire is the seventh state to reject the measure, joining South Carolina, Georgia, Montana, Washington, Oklahoma, and Maine.
Congress subpoenaed the white house this week, requesting documents about our "decider’s" illegal wire-tapping. George Bush said that he would not comply.
Rhode Island legislator sent a very strong signal in favor of medical marijuana legalization. Get this the senate voted 29-4, and the house 58-11. Gov. Donald Carcieri has earned the title of terrorist of the week as the Governor's veto would have terrorized sick people.
There’s still a lot more work to be done, but if you want more freedom maybe, just maybe, there is hope.
