The first two sites are the Democrats (National) and the Democrats (local campaigns)...the other sites listed are "specialty sites" for political activists, look for links to the people in your area...my suggestion is that you sign up to the two Democratic sites, then look at the specialty sites to determine what kind of activism suites you, and get on the emailing lists for political activism....you can find local political activism in your area, and then sign up to help, call them, everybody needs volunteers and some sites are now paid hiring for the campaigns...things will really heat up after the Democratic selection for THE candidate...
some sites grew out of the war protest movement, but are becoming important political movements for a better America...some sites are old time favorites...

As Democrats, our first challenge is to improve our communication with one another. To succeed as a Party in the new century will mean more than coming together to exchange ideas every four years. We will host ongoing conversations on the challenges we face as a nation, with faith that the best ideas of Democrats will prevail. These discussions will be limited to Democrats who share our commitment to building a robust and dynamic online community.
http://www.democrats.comMoveOn is working to bring ordinary people back into politics. With a system that today revolves around big money and big media, most citizens are left out. When it becomes clear that our "representatives" don't represent the public, the foundations of democracy are in peril. MoveOn is a catalyst for a new kind of grassroots involvement, supporting busy but concerned citizens in finding their political voice. Our international network of more than 2,000,000 online activists is one of the most effective and responsive outlets for democratic participation available today.
http://www.moveon.org/In June 2003, representatives of more than 325 local and national peace and justice groups from across the U.S. gathered again in Chicago for UFPJ's first Strategy and Planning Conference. The conference was aimed to help coordinate actions to stop the Bush administration's program of permanent war, as well as solidify UFPJ's organizational structure. A full report will come shortly. In the meantime, here is some of what emerged from the conference:
http://www.unitedforpeace.org/Our Mission:
Veterans for Common Sense seeks to inject the element of Common Sense into debates over war and national security. In an age when the majority of public servants have never served in uniform, the perspective of war veterans must play a key role in the public debate over national security issues in order to preserve the liberty veterans have fought and died preserving.
http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org/The Bush Administration lied to the people, to the Congress, and to the United Nations as it raced to wage war against Iraq. The Bush administration is now carrying out a cover up of its lies and deceptions.
Every day, people are dying as a consequence of this illegal occupation. Every day human misery expands in the drive for world Empire and corporate globalization. Every day, vital social programs that serve and protect working people in the U.S. are being destroyed as the Bush administration cynically manipulates the slogan of the "war on terrorism" to carry out the social transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. It has served as a public relations ploy for their Robin-Hood-in-reverse politics. Stopping Bush's war abroad and his war at home is a matter of life and death. None of us has the luxury of waiting. The time to act is now.
