There are a number of links that will help you get the news and shared ideas that the main stream media (MSM) will not print.

Air America (https://www.airamerica.com)--Air America is the radio network that we lost in the Quad Cities when 1270AM was unfortunately bought out for yet another Christian station.  This is the most informative collection of progressive talk hosts you will find with Al Franken, Rachel Maddow, Sam Seder, Randi Rhodes, Thom Hartmann, and more.

Ed Schultz (www.wegoted.com)--Ed was on our former Air America station.  He has since moved his time slot to 11AM to 2PM.  He considers himself the red-meat-eating, gun-toting, straight-talking progressive. 

Stephanie Miller (http://www.stephaniemiller.com)--She is the funniest (without being nasty ala Ann Coulter).  She is informative, yet doesn't take herself too seriously.  The entertainment value of this radio show is top-notch.

The National Democratic Headquarters--www.democratic.org

Moveon.org (www.moveon.org)--  This is the proactive progressive site that kicked butt during the 2006 election cycle and has not stopped since.  They are proving to be a formidable force with over 2 million members.

The Center for American Progress (http://www.americanprogress.org ) This organization is the progressive thinktank that has produced a number of ideas, research, and support for all people interested in issues.

Media Matters for America (mediamatters.org)--This is the organization that is driving the right-wingers crazy.  They hate having their words thrown back at them, and that is what this website does.  MM fervently monitors the nuts and the MSM out there to make sure that the lies and misinformation are eliminated.  This is a superior site.
