In case you aren't already convinced that next month's election is pretty frickin' important, here's something else to consider: the next president will almost certainly have the power to shape the future of the Supreme Court for decades to come. What does that mean for Roe v. Wade - and the future of reproductive rights in this country? We put together a short video that walks through some scary math. Click here to check it out.

If there were ever a time we need to hear from the presidential candidates on their plans for how to fix the country's problems, it's NOW. Yet McCain and Palin are trying to duck the debates. Sign our emergency petition to help make sure Americans hear from the candidates before this crucial election! https://site.pfaw.org/debates

Amtrak Joe v. MooseBurger Palin -- it's going to be the battle of the century. On Oct. 2 -- one night only -- Sen. Joe Biden and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will face off in the vice presidential debate. It could be painful! It could be hilarious! Either way, you won't want to miss it, so why not watch with friends? Sign up to host or attend a party here: http://site.pfaw.org/parties  The more parties we hold, the more attention People For the American Way can focus on Palin's radical views. Plus, if each party raises just a few hundred dollars, together we can raise the funds we need to get the real facts about Palin out to voters. Only one week left before the big event! Act fast and tell your friends :) http://site.pfaw.org/parties Read More

Sarah Palin is against reproductive choice. Against gay rights. Pro-gun. Pro-censorship. In favor of teaching creationism in public schools. Palin presents herself as speaking for mainstream Americans. Does she speak for you? If the answer to that question is an emphatic "NO," join our campaign to get this message out: http://site.PFAW.org/Palin Also, if you've got a camera handy (or a schmancy camera-laden phone), submit a photo for a collage we're building that will put faces to the Americans who don't think Palin speaks for them. E-mail your photo to blogaction@pfaw.org. Thanks!

Yeah, we're not fans. "By selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain is pandering to far right extremists," said Kathryn Kolbert, president of People For. "Palin is on the opposite side of every issue progressives care deeply about." http://site.pfaw.org/site/PageServer?pagename=media_2008_08_sarah_palin_mccains_birthday_gift

On September 4th, People For the American Way and Living Liberally are teaming up to help bring likeminded progressives together for a night of fun, food, drink, and, yes, John McCain.
