Peace
The links that follow are incomplete. The amount of information that is out there for the person who looks is mind boggling. But they are a beginning. Some are to organizations that you may not agree with. Some are opinion pieces of people you may not like. But each of them has something to say, something worthwhile. Sometimes the worthwhile is surrounded by the worthless. Too often we disregard the message because we don’t like the messenger. That is not the mark of a USA Patriot. Take the information you need from anywhere you can get it and do the best that you can with it. Use the knowledge you gain to help those who deserve help and to surpass those who do not. Read. Learn. Think . That is the mark of a USA Patriot.

Political – Get Active
Read. Learn. Think. Get active. Here you will find links to the major and middling political parties. You will also find links to some excellent political organizations. Some like MoveOn.org are blatantly for one side and against the other. Others, like the ACLU, are organizations that focus on an issue and help whomever needs assistance with their issue. And some, like Choose or Lose, just want you to help you get involved. So go where you want, help who you want and do what you want – but don’t sit and watch the world pass you by.
