Some more actions for all you do-gooders out there.
Stop Indefinite Detentions People are being held without charges, without lawyers and incommunicado from the outside world. We cannot stand for this. Join the ACLU's call for abandoning this policy here.
More Mercury Madness by Bush's EPA: Join the League of Conservation Voters in calling for the EPA to uphold the Clean Air Act

The Environmental Protection Agency published its proposed regulation of mercury emissions from power plants on January 30, 2004; comments are being accepted until June 29, 2004. Previously EPA estimated that a 90% cut in electric utility mercury air emissions was achievable by 2008, the level the Clean Air Act requires. The January rule falls far short of this, requiring only a 50%-70% reduction by 2018. That’s more pollution, for a longer time.

Tired of tax loopholes for special interests? Me too and so is the Florida PIRG (Public Interest Research Group)

Florida relies on sales tax, which should bring in enough money to pay for the things we need as a state. But over the years, special interest lobbyists in Tallahassee have carved out 440 sales tax exemptions for their clients. You have to pay sales tax on your football tickets, but the guy up in the skybox does not. You have to pay sales tax on dog food, but the people who buy food for racing dogs don't. You have to pay sales tax on pool cleaning supplies, but people who hire a pool cleaning service do not.

They need 488,000 signatures on this petition, which is availible here. Unfortunately its on paper and you have to mail it in. Florida residents only.
The EFF needs help defeating the PIRATE ACT Watch out File Sharers, They're coming to get you.

The PIRATE Act (S.2237) is yet another attempt to make taxpayers fund
the misguided war on file sharing, and it's moving fast. The bill would allow the government to file civil copyright lawsuits in addition to criminal prosecutions, dramatically lowering the burden of proof and adding to the thousands of suits already filed by record companies. It would also force the American public to pay the legal bills of foreign record companies like Bertelsmann, Vivendi Universal, EMI, and Sony. Meanwhile, not a penny from the lawsuits goes to the artists. Don't let the record industry use your hard-earned dollars to pursue this fruitless war; tell Congress to sink the PIRATE Act!
