If I were a billionaire, these are some of the people and organizations I would support

perhaps if anyone agrees with any of these choices (and wants to add their own) and puts the list on facebook and twitter, someone with money to burn may donate to some of these worthwhile sites.

Op Ed News - one of the best progressive news and opinion sites out there; articulate writers not afraid to speak the truth. I would love to see this news site get more support.
http://www.opednews.com/

Greenpeace - because they get in front of the bulldozers, the saws, the whaling boats and they stand up for the forests, oceans, and non-human creatures on this planet who can't speak for themselves and deserve to live.

http://www.sourcewatch.org/ 
another watchdog group keeping an eye on corporations and reporting on what they find. they quote all their sources for further reading.

CREDO - oddly enough, they're a mobile carrier, but read their mission statement and you'll see they're the type of telecom we need. If i ever got a cell phone, I'd use Credo. They work with other great organizations like Color of Change and Avaaz to put generate online petitions to congress and President Obama on important issues, and they (we) have had some victories.


http://www.savetheinternet.com/fighting to keep the internet free and neutral with online petitions and people and numbers to call. By the way, the FCC is voting on this issue on Dec. 21st. Calls, emails, and faxes are important! 1- 800- CALL FCC
