Republicans for Obama is a grassroots organization of proud party members who all share one important trait— we are Americans first and Republicans second. Founded in late 2006 as part of the nationwide effort to encourage then-Senator Obama to run for the Presidency, our volunteer-run, grassroots group now includes thousands of members from across the nation. Together, we represent a cross-section of the millions of Republican and conservative independents who support President Obama's reelection in 2012. Although we have campaigned, worked for, and voted Republican all our lives, we recognize that President Obama is the right leader for our country at this time. Our current Republican leadership is unable to stand up to the most extreme elements in our party, no matter the circumstance. Meanwhile, President Obama has challenged his own party on numerous issues, including taxes, healthcare and foreign policy. President Obama has forged a pragmatic, common-sense path forward during a challenging time. President Obama has rejected the politics of division and the win-at-all-costs attitude that has hurt our ability to move forward as a nation. While we as Republicans will not always see eye to eye with President Obama, we know that his politics of unity is the only way forward for America. -Republicans for Obama on Facebook

No Labels is a group of Republicans, Democrats and Independents dedicated to a simple proposition: We want our government to work again. The government in Washington is no longer capable of solving the very real problems facing America. Before every election, our politicians make promises about how they will fix our tax system. Our immigration laws. Our schools. Our budget issues. But after every election, these promises are crushed under the weight of the same poisonous rhetoric and hyper-partisanship. We, the American people, are the collateral damage of this partisan warfare, saddled with debts we can’t afford and an economy that no longer creates enough good jobs with good pay. The American people have had enough. No Labels believes that common sense solutions exist for our national challenges. And we believe that our government should be capable of finding them. Most importantly, we know the vast majority of Americans agree with us. No Labels on Facebook.

Jesus said, "You will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end." (Acts 1:8) As Catholic Sisters, we must speak out against the current House Republican budget, authored by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). We do so because it harms people who are already suffering. NETWORK’s Executive Director, Sister Simone Campbell, said in a recent media interview that Catholic Sisters “know the real-life struggles of real-life Americans.” It is this knowledge that impelled us to organize this bus trip. When the federal government cuts funding to programs that serve people in poverty, we see the effects in our daily work. Simply put, real people suffer. That is immoral.

Click on the banner to visit the main website. 		Being Liberal - Because Reality Has A Liberal Bias. Over the past few decades, billions of dollars have been poured into the denigration and reframing of the word "Liberal", as a derogatory epithet. The Being Liberal FB page, is fighting to restore the true meaning of the word Liberal and return it to its rightful place of honor in mainstream linguistics. It is important to remember that it was Liberals who fought to get women the right to vote. Liberals who fought to get African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Social Security and Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed every one of those laudatory achievements...every single one! Do not hurl the word 'Liberal,' at our feet, as if it were something to be ashamed of, as if it were something dirty, something to run away from. It won't work. Because we will pick that label up and we will wear it proudly, as the badge of honor that it is. Being Liberal on Facebook.

To oppose and supplant the mythological narratives of the past, and the dogmas of the present, the world needs an institution devoted to promoting science, reason, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values. The Center for Inquiry is that institution. At the Center for Inquiry, we believe that evidence-based reasoning, in which humans work together to address common concerns, is critical for modern world civilization. Moreover, unlike many other institutions, we maintain that scientific methods and reasoning should be utilized in examining the claims of both pseudoscience and religion. We reject mysticism and blind faith. No topic should be placed off limits to scrutiny—certainly not fringe science and religion, which have an enormous influence on beliefs and conduct. We also maintain that values are properly the subject of study and discussion as much as empirical claims. The Center for Inquiry studies and promotes human values based on a naturalistic outlook. Ideological doctrine and religious dogma have no more right to dictate our moral norms than they do to influence scientific research. Center for Inquiry on Facebook

The National Economic and Social Rights Initiative (NESRI) was founded in 2004 in response to growing interest from activists in bringing human rights home, and holding the United States accountable to meeting the full range of basic human rights standards for all its people. NESRI has sought, from its inception, to create a foundation for integrating economic and social rights into U.S. law, policy and political culture. In partnership with communities, NESRI works to build a broad movement for economic & social rights, including health, housing, education and work with dignity. Based on the principle that fundamental human needs create human rights obligations on the part of government and the private sector, NESRI advocates for public policies that guarantee the universal and equitable fulfillment of these rights in the United States.NESRI believes that social movements led by those directly impacted are the best route towards sustainable and progressive social change. Developing strong social movements depends on a compelling and unifying vision that is shared by the whole movement. The human rights framework can provide this vision because it offers a broad platform for common action, language, and focus, and speaks to a set of universal values.
