Tell Rush: "Obamacare Won. Move to Costa Rica"

Dear Rush: Obamacare Won. Move to Costa Rica

(Update: Rush is still spouting all kinds of garbage. Which reminds us - why is he still here? Send him a message -- or another message -- and tell him, "Obamacare won, move to Costa Rica!") Well, Rush Limbaugh is apparently going apoplectic over the Supreme Court upholding President Obama's health care law. But here's the odd thing. We don't understand why he's still around to complain, since Rush said earlier that if this law passed, he'd leave America, and...

Tell Rove & Koch: Disclose Your Donors

Tell Rove & Koch: Disclose Your Donors

We believe that groups like the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity and Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS should have to disclose exactly who's behind the millions of dollars they're spending to influence this election—and now, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals agrees. These GOP outside groups are going to try to avoid this for as long as they can. After all, they have a vested interest in being able to spend millions anonymously to influence our elections -- many of the corporations...

Tell Boehner: "Stop Blocking Women's Health Care for Raped Soldiers"

Tell Boehner: "Stop Blocking Women's Health Care for Raped Soldiers"

Republican leaders like to talk big about supporting our troops, but sometimes actions speak much louder than words – especially when those actions are frankly horrific: Republican Senators John McCain, Scott Brown, and Susan Collins all support an effort by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat from New Hampshire, to expand abortion access for military women who are raped. But despite bipartisan support in the Senate, Shaheen's proposal may not make it into the final version of the 2013...

Thank JCPenney

Thank JCPenney for Standing up to Homophobia

Thank JCPenney for Standing up to Homophobia Earlier this year, when JCPenney announced that it had hired Ellen DeGeneres as its spokesperson, it faced an uproar from the American Family Association's "One Million Moms" project because DeGeneres was an "open homosexual." The group demanded that DeGeneres be fired. JCPenney refused. And now they're adding a whole new layer of awesomeness with a new Father's Day ad -- featuring two fathers: In what appears to be a...

Tell Mitt: "Dump Trump"

Tell Romney: Dump Trump & Denounce His Birther Statements

Once again, Donald Trump has gone "birther," insisting that President Obama was born in Kenya: "He said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia… Now they're saying it was a mistake. Just like his Kenyan grandmother said he was born in Kenya, and she pointed down the road to the hospital, and after people started screaming at her she said, 'Oh, I mean Hawaii.'" (source) Birtherism is a conspiracy theory that has been debunked again and again. And yet, it...

Arizona Elections Official Goes Birther, Threatens to Keep Obama off Ballot

(Update: Bennett has now backed off his threat to keep President Obama off the ballot, and apologized!) Fighting birtherism is like a game of whack-a-mole.

This time, it is coming from the Arizona Secretary of State -- the man in charge of running Arizona's elections: The man in charge of running Arizona’s elections has gone to the birthers.

End "Abstinence-only" sex education. Stop this failed policy.

End "Abstinence-only" sex education. Stop this failed policy.

Abstinence-only sex education has been an utter failure. Compared to traditional sex education, it actually increases teen pregnancies. It is time to end this profoundly stupid approach once and for all. Want proof? The states that promote abstinence only education are doing the worst when it comes to teen pregnancy: Mississippi continues to have the highest teen birth rate, with 55 births per 1,000 girls. New Hampshire has the lowest rate at just under 16 births per 1,...
