Backyard Science
Phenology is a science that anyone can practice without a lab coat, microscope, or PhD. It's the study of seasonal events such as first flowers, appearance of certain butterflies, etc. People have tracked these dates for decades -- even centuries -- and now there's a place on DK to record your own observations. A casual spot to tell what you're seeing in the park down the road or in your own back yard.

Legal Abortion
This Group will be used to coordinate research efforts and tests aimed at reaching out to "Unborn Child" voters. These people have been owned by the Republicans for decades.

Pull Their Coverage: End health benefits for U.S. House and Senate members
Congressman Anthony Weiner says it time to defund Congressional health benefits. We agree! Republicans are mounting a scorched earth offensive against the Affordable Care Act. It's time for the American people to mount their own long overdue campaign to demand that all the members of the U.S. Senate and House, renounce their heavily taxpayer subsidized health insurance benefits. These people must be required to fend for themselves, as millions of Americans do, in the grotesque and barbaric indi...
