http://www.thenewrepublic.com/ This is The New Republic magazeen's web site, they're an awesome political magazeen, I don't always agree with what they say, but they tend to let people with various views all talk, and some of their main edditors are really on point.

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/ Just what it says.

http://www.wnyc.org/new/talk/onthemedia/otmindex.html NPR show called On The Media.

http://www.indymedia.org/ Indy Media, lot's of good stuff here, they're a bit biased, but they have the opposite bias of every other news outlet, so that can be damn useful.

Political Action:

http://irc.indymedia.org/ Indy Media IRC.

http://DRCNet.org This is the Drug Reform Coordination Network. 'Nough said. They've got a weekly e-mail list that gives you a bunch of articles (and links to where they got them) relating to drug reform.

http://www.a20.org/ Pertaining to the April 20 protests of the Summit of the Americas. (this sight might not be around much longer, after the protests are done.)

http://www.moveourmoney.org This is a web site by "business leaders for sensible priorities." they've got lots of interesting statistics about the Pentagon's budget.

Bands:

http://www.confrontationcamp.com The site of the band "Confrontation Camp" who Chuck D is with at the moment. They played a free concert at the Shadow Converntion in Philly, it was incredible. I also got to talk to Chuck for about five minutes before hand. (who, me, brag?? NEVER!!)

http://www.ratm.com/ The Rage Against The Machine web site... I don't know, haven't looked, but they played at the shadow convention in LA I believe.

Humor:

http://www.bushoncrack.com/ This is a great satire site, not limited to teasing bush by any means.

http://www.billionairesforbushorgore.com/ These guys are hilarious!

http://www.theonion.com/ Three cheers for The Onion!

Other:

http://thomas.loc.gov The Library Of Congress, web page, specifically, this link gets you to a page where you can look up bills that are going or have gone through congress. It's pretty dry and longwinded so no mere mortals will even try to navigate it... and then you get to the actual bills... oy... but we aren't mere mortals are we now?

http://www.thisamericanlife.org/ NPR show "This American Life" great show, sometimes political. (Real Audio Available, I think...)

http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/ NPR show "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" Hilarious "game show" with vast quantities of political humor. (Real Audio of the entire week's show available.)

http://www.census.gov/ guess...

Here's some links I had up durring the election last year, that aren't so relavent anymore... some might not be there anymore, I'm not sure.

And let's discuss what we think – PoliticalDiscussion

http://www.votenader.org This is Ralph Nader's campaign website, full of lot's of interesting stuff.

http://www.greenparties.org/GreenParties/default.asp This is the official site of The Association of State Green Parties.

http://www.reformparty.org This is the "Official" Reform Party web site. It seems to be the John Hagelin faction, but I've heard he's going to be on the ballet in a lot of states, if not all of them. I dunno, if somebody wants to find the Bucannon (sp?) faction, I'd love to read their propaganda too, (know thy enemy and all that crap...)

http://www.rnc.org Yes, I'm putting a link to the official republican web site. This is the only political web site I'm aware of that has automatic pop-up windows. Also, I downloaded 4 different party's platforms, and the republicans made it hardest, while the Green's made it easiest. ...but I was really going to stay unbias on this link page...

http://www.democrats.org/index.html The Official Democratic Party web site, shruggable, but informative.

http://youthlink.org/platforms.html This link gets you into youthlink, on a page one click from the Official Youth Platform 2000. Yeah, that's right, a fairly well done youth convention happened (on in philly and on in LA actually) and they made their own platform. They're non-partisan, they aren't going to endorse any canidate, they want the canidates to endorse their platform. I don't know if they have anything on their site about how the RNC treated them, but it was pretty bad... like, Youth in Action is suing the RNC for purposfully using the name "National Youth Convention" after promicing not to.
