Atheist in America
Atheists often feel under attack in this country, founded in secularism, yet with growing numbers of people who practice an aggressive politically charged version of Christianity.

Education Alternatives
To best serve the development of all our young people, we need to move away from our one-size-fits-all education system (based on the 19th Century industrial model) to a new approach that encourages and facilitates many profoundly different educational paths, including learning within and outside of schools.

Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a DKos group of second amendment supporters who also have progressive and liberal values. We don't think that being a liberal means one has to be anti-gun.

Moderate or extreme, we hold one common belief: more gun control equals lost elections. We don't want a repeat of 1994. We are an inclusive...
