Project Vote Smart began as a simple research project in 1990. Would citizens defend themselves from the mudslinging, issueless tactics used by political candidates to manipulate them?

NorthWest Feminist Anti-Censorship Taskforce "The United States is going through a Moral Panic, with sexually explicit media, and many other forms of sexual information and/or minority practices and lifestyles under attack. As we continue through this time of enormous cultural stress and change, many ideas, groups, and lifestyles are seen as a threat to the status quo. Attacks on media, ideas, and individuals or groups are being used to gain political power, raise money, and further the fame and fortune of those leading the attacks. We are also committed to challenging the idea that political action is hard, boring work. Very few things are as fun and exciting as social change, and if you are concerned about the free flow of information, and about social justice, we hope you will consider joining us."

ENEMIES of Free Speech

The American Family Association, Inc. (formerly the National Federation for Decency) is proud of these accomplishments: 

ABC lost about $1million in ad revenues per episode of NYPD Blue because of AFA efforts. 
The Southland Corporation, owners and franchisers of the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, along with 30,000 other convenience stores pulled porn magazines from shelves after intensive boycotting and picketing by AFA. 
Pepsi pulled Madonna's "sacrilegious" ad and canceled sponsorship of her world tour following efforts led by AFA. 
They promoted successful boycotts of several national advertisers because they were leading sponsors of TV sex, violence and profanity. Because of the boycotts, some companies - including Burger King, Clorox and S. C. Johnson - have changed their advertising policies. 
The Christian Coalition
Supported an amendment to prohibit the use of federal taxpayers funds for any procedure that experiments with human fetal tissue, cells or organs obtained from an embryo or fetus during or after an induced abortion.

(the question I have here is, if it's already dead, why not do test and experiments on it so that it hasn't died in vain?)

Supported an amendment prohibiting funding for President Clinton's Executive Order 13087, which circumvented Congressional authority and created a new law requiring affirmative action policies for "sexual orientation" in the federal government. "Because "sexual orientation" is not defined, it could include ALL types of alternative sexual lifestyles, such as homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality. bestiality and even pedophilia."
