Group Last Diary
A Perfect Conversation
A group to republish diaries that I hope:

a. challenge the DK conventional wisdom;
b. provide information which may lead to new ideas;
c. push for action that is innovative or not just playing defense;

I do not always agree with the diaries I republish, but the point here is not about agreement. It's about challenging ourselves to rethink our political philosophies, activities, and issue positions. Perhaps we'll come back to the same conclusions we already ...

Repeal or Amend the Second Amendment (RASA)
Our group promotes informed discussion about repealing, re-interpreting, or amending the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, following the infamous Scalia-led decisions in Heller and McDonald.
