Living Liberally is dedicated to creating communities around
progressive politics. Through social networks and events, they promote
political engagement, and facilitate collaboration among progressive
organizations. They believe that our political identity should be part
of our regular
lives. Too often politics is restricted to one day every four years, or
to long, uninviting meetings in fluorescent-lit, linoleum-floored
rooms. Instead, LL takes their politics where people gather, socialize,
learn,
love and live. By creating easy entryways into progressive political
involvement, LL can help you can find a community that shares your
values.

PR Watch specializes in blowing the lid off today's multi-billion
dollar propaganda-for-hire industry, naming names and revealing how
public relations wizards concoct and spin the news, organize phony
'grassroots' front groups, spy on citizens, and conspire with lobbyists
and politicians to thwart democracy. It exposes the hidden activities
of secretive, little-known mega-firms such as Hill & Knowlton, Burson-Marsteller and Ketchum PR--the "invisible
men" who control our political debates and public opinion, twisting
reality and protecting the powerful from scrutiny.
