Iraq Strategy (?)
Key headlines on U.S. strategy in Iraq, updated several times weekly.

Corporate Media

http://www.washingtonpost.com
The Washington Post
The Post seems to do more investigative and fearless reporting than others in this category—in fact, they may belong more to the preceding group (remember Woodward and Bernstein of Watergate fame?).  The Post will  email you the day's edition free, just for signing up. 

http://www.nytimes.com
The New York Times
Certainly NOT "All the news that's fit to print" — like others in this category, their customers are their corporate owners and their advertisers, not us.  AND they sat on the story of Bush's illegal wire taps for a solid year.  Not always even-handed.  But some good articles, especially op-ed and science.

http://www.usatoday.com
USA Today
USA Today will email you daily also — and also free.  Each of these newspapers has a slightly different take on things. 

http://www.enquirer.com
You be the judge.

More liberal than the Enquirer, but will cease publishing  soon... why are we not surprised?  

 

Organizations and Issues

http://www.spanohio.org —  Single-Payer Action Network Ohio.  Single-payer means that one fund, administered by a non-profit government agency, would make payments for all medical services for everyone.  The 1500 health care insurance companies -- each making profits, and each with its own bureaucracy and rules -- would no longer be involved as a middle man.  Medicare is an example of a single-payer plan. Sign up to do your part to bring this program to Ohio!

http://worldcantwait.net  (to drive out the Bush regime).

http://www.americansunitedforchange.org —  they want a government that works for all of us (wow!)

http://www.aclu.org—The American Civil Liberties Union. (good to know they're there, what with all the phone bugging, etc.)

http://www.pfaw.org— People for the American Way.  Devoted to preserving the Constitution.

http://www.au.org— Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

http://www.fcaontheweb.org — Finneytown Civic Association.  They usually host a "Candidates' Night" in October.

THE U.S. CONGRESS VOTES DATABASE
This fabulous site lets you browse every vote in the U.S. Congress since 1991!

http://www.lwv.org  and www.lwvcincinnati.org
League of Women Voters
They publish an awesome Directory of Public Officials for residents of Hamilton County.  It includes state and federal office holders, phone numbers, faxes, terms of office, emails and websites, as well as proper forms of address.  You can probably pick up a copy at the Public Library.

"Making democracy work" is the League's motto.  They cover some non-partisan information about candidates, issues, and elections, but often fail to give information that could help you decide who to vote for.  Look elsewhere for who is a right-to-lifer, who wants to teach "intelligent design" in science classes, etc.
