Bastard Nation: Dignity and Equal Rights for Adult Adoptees (Adoption Reform)   

Bastard Nation advocates for the civil and human rights of adult citizens who were adopted as children. Millions of North Americans are prohibited by law from accessing personal records that pertain to their historical, genetic and legal identities. Such records are held by their governments in secret and without accountability, due solely to the fact that they were adopted. "Bastard Nation's "agenda" is simple: the full human and civil rights of adult adoptees. In terms of records access, Bastard Nation does not believe that the government should hold what amounts to secret and sealed dossiers on its law-abiding, adopted citizens. Bastard Nation does not believe that social workers, bureaucrats or third-party agents should act as gatekeepers for our vital records. As agendas go, ours speaks to our fundamental right to self-determination as individuals and citizens.

Verified Voting - Campaign To Demand Verifiable Election Results   

Will your vote count in the next election? Maybe not! How will we even know? The Verified Voting Foundation and VerifiedVoting.org champion transparent, reliable, and publicly verifiable elections in the United States. The purpose of the website is threefold: To inform the public of the problems with relying on electronic voting machines to record and count our votes, without the backup of a voter-verifiable audit trail. To point to reasonable solutions that are within reach. To provide a list of actions voters can take, and to encourage them to act on their own behalf to ensure that all their votes count accurately in future elections. "The core of our American democracy is the right to vote. Implicit in that right is the notion that that vote be private, that vote be secure, and that vote be counted as it was intended when it was cast by the voter. And I think what we're encountering is a pivotal moment in our democracy where all of that is being called into question." Kevin Shelley-California Sec. of State

Campaign for America's Future - Institute for America's Future   

Over 100 Prominent Americans — citizen activists and policy experts concerned about our country and our planet — joined together to launch and build the Campaign for America's Future. We are challenging the big money corporate agenda by encouraging Americans to speak up — to discuss and debate a new vision of an economy and a future that works for all of us. America's Future insists that the question of falling wages and rising insecurity be placed at the center of our national debate. We challenge those who suggest that nothing can be done and expose the conservative agenda that has made things worse. America's Future works to revitalize a progressive agenda, and fights to make this economy work for working people once again. We engage citizens, activists and political leaders in a renewed debate about the kind of country — and the kind of world — we want to build for the generations yet to come.
