American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU): I Am a Constitution Voter
The ACLU has come up with a powerful way to make it clear that, for millions of voters all across America, there is nothing more important than protecting the Constitution. Sign the ACLU’s “I Am a Constitution Voter” pledge and get your free bumper sticker now.
Audubon: Save Our Seas: Protect Sensitive Ecosystems from Drilling
The Bush Administration has just initiated a new oil and gas development plan to “accelerate an offshore exploration and development program.” Tens of millions of federal lands and waters are already open to oil and gas leasing, with millions of acres under lease and awaiting exploration. There is no need to sacrifice new, sensitive, and important marine and coastal ecosystems.
DawnWatch: Palin provides vital opportunities for animal friendly letters 9/4/08
But in the current election we have an unusual media opportunity to make the animals’ voices heard. While most of the population are not vegetarian and may not rate animal issues at the top of their agenda, numerous polls have shown that the vast majority of Americans do care about kindness to animals. They back animal welfare and environmental protection laws and are against egregious cruelty. Sarah Palin has so far shown a level of hostility to animal interests that is well outside the norm. Her presence on the ticket therefore gives us the chance to let it be known that such a stance matters, and that to most people, both Democrat and Republican, it is a negative.
Defenders of Wildlife: Reject the Bush/Cheney Offshore Oil Scheme
The Bush/Cheney Administration has launched an all-out push to line our coasts with oil rigs that would pollute our waters, threaten dolphins and other marine wildlife and wreck coastal economies. According to federal energy officials, such drilling will have “no significant” impact on prices at the gas pump. But it would have significant impacts for dolphins, sea turtles and other marine wildlife that needs healthy ocean ecosystems to survive.
Democrats.com: No Stolen Election 2008
Democrats.com was born at the August 2000 Democratic convention in Los Angeles where Al Gore was nominated for President. That November, Karl Rove and Florida’s Secretary of State Katherine Harris stole the election. While the theft was in progress, we organized “Count Every Vote” protests all across the country, helped the Congressional Black Caucus formally object to the counting of Florida’s stolen electors (a scene made famous in “Fahrenheit 9/11″), and protested George Bush’s inauguration in Washington DC. Please help our friends at the Secretary of State Project stop Republicans from stealing the 2008 election.
True Food Network: Urge Food Companies to Say No to Cloning
Consumer opposition to milk and meat from clones is causing major food companies, restaurants, and grocery stores to reject food from clones. Your voice is being heard – don’t stop now. We need your help in sending a strong message to food producers, restaurants and grocers that consumers do not want foods from cloned animals or their offspring.
VIER PFOTEN International: Stop it! No wild animals in the circus
All over Europe, wild animals suffer in circuses – in the ring, in small caged wagons and during constant transports. Stop it! The campaign by VIER PFOTEN fights against this animal cruelty in six countries. You can help! Please send us photos or films of animals suffering in circuses to show the cruel reality. Send a RED CARD to the politicians in charge.
World Wildlife Fund (WWF): Endangered Species Need Your Help

The most effective way to comment is by submitting an official public comment to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. You must submit your comment yourself. Follow the simple steps below.
