Monday's Links
Activism
The biggest change to come out of the U.S. Department of Education in the last year is the change to the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. You can go here to read a summary of the changes, and see how you can help the National Education Association (NEA) improve upon the bill. There are two choices of letters to write to your congresspeople, along with draft suggestions on what to write. It's going to be tough for Education this year, as they will receive only a 2% raise in their overall budget.
News
Paralyzed woman walks again after stem cell therapy. Even though these aren't the "controversial" kinds of stem cells, as they're from umbilical cord blood, we believe the important thing here is that it's pretty clear this technology has a lot of potential. It's tough to understand how investigating this technology to its fullest is somehow not part of a "culture of life".
Audit: Halliburton Lost Track of Property. It's kind of tough to win a war when the people you pay to manage your property involved in that war lose track of over a third of it.
Taliban attack aid group, 3 killed. The Taliban? Didn't we get rid of them, fix Afghanistan, and capture bin Laden like years ago?
Editorials
Eleanor Clift of MSNBC wonders Can Howard Dean Save the Democrats? We certainly hope so, although we're not quite sure they need "saving" just yet. She has a good analysis of some of Dean's positions, and then she rambles on a bit about Kerry for some reason.
A good summary of the midterm election possibilities for the Dems. If you're thinking of waiting to get involved until 2008, well, don't wait!
Rove Unleashed. It's pretty clear that Rove's ambitions extend beyond just his results so far. We think he's probably not going to stop until America has become an entirely corporate-owned theocracy. But we know who can stop him: You.
