It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.

No, we don't want "free" healthcare.
We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick.
This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

UPDATE: I've heard from Jose's family. He's apparently been transferred to an ICE detention center in TX, but it's been days since they've been able to speak with him.
He needs medical care and to be able to speak with his family and lawyer. This obscene cruelty helps no one.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.
His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing.
He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

This is disgusting. Quit allowing guns on school campuses.
“If there is a serious situation where you have other police coming into the building who may not know the teachers, they’re not going to recognize whether that person is supposed to have a gun or not. So that person, that teacher, can be inadvertently hurt.” - Sue Duncan, NC Moms volunteer
New North Carolina law allows handguns on private school campuses
A new law allows handguns to be carried on private school campuses with written permission from school officials, creating division among parents and educators about campus security.

Montana is leading the way in combatting Citizens United. Our state must follow!
Text SIGN PVDLWG to 50409 — You may know that in Montana local organizers have drafted and submitted a constitutional initiative for voters to consider in 2026. It would decline to grant to all corporations the power to spend in elections.
Called the Transparent Election Initiative, it wouldn’t overturn Citizens United — it would negate its consequences. HUGE.
The Citizens United decision is enormously unpopular. Some 75 percent of Americans disapprove of it. And we have the ability to help make Citizens United irrelevant in our state!
I’m asking you to use your authority to help rid the nation of Citizens United. Please look into pursuing a “Montana Initiative” in our state through the legislature. Your constituents would be thrilled, and you’ll see it receive huge support.
This is so important for our democracy. Dark money in politics is destroying everything we hold dear. You can help stop it. Please do. Thanks.
