The balloting on the ideas and solutions for the Obama Biden administration goes on. It is nice to see some democracy working. However, there are some issues that are probably never going to win a majority vote in this country, but are still worth our discussing. One of these issues concerns the protection of our yourn people's access to accurate information. I know that the constitutional defenders and the get FISA right folks don't care about people below voting age. Their agendas are bigger and more adult. But the congress should take some time while trying to untangle the mess that Bush has made with information about reproduction. Gagging teachers and programs that offer clear information about how to prevent pregnancy in favor of forcing only ineffective abstinance only programs had lead us to the place where one fourth of the young people suffer from sexually transmitted infections. There should be an official statement that we believe everyone should know and have access to effective methods to plan and choose when they decide to reproduce. Here is a site that is supporting this through some email campaign and videos. I know, the constitutional defenders are really obsessed with religious, so they may not like this. And this doens't have anything to do with Jon's agenda either. But it is worth paying attention to.
