Putting Money Alongside the Mouth

The few frequent readers of this blog know by now that I have a rather strong affliction for the civil liberties that I enjoy as a US citizen. I've even joined the EFF, an ACLU-like group for Internet and digital freedoms.

This past weekend I had a chance to clear off my desk and take care of other miscellaneous stuff. When I was done, I sat down and immediately realized that I wasn't done. There was something that had been quietly nagging me in the back of my mind for some time that was suddenly becoming louder. Whether it was from reading another article about incompetence in Washington (both sides of the aisle!), corruption, or blatant misinformation campaigns regarding AIDS and sexuality by Bush cronies, I decided to start contributing to organizations that I have favored for some time now.

You can now count me among the card-carrying members of the ACLU, and an official Planned Parenthood supporter. In that vein, the ACLU is coming out with a new TV show, The ACLU Freedom Files. It should be on Court TV, as of November 10th. With luck, it will be interesting!
