The idea for a one-bill strategy originated with the eQualityGiving.org donors who also created a public activism site called: Act On Principles.org, with public whip counts and open blog functions to empower our community's grassroots. Here are some of the blogs that got the American Equality Bill and, later Pledge, in the news.
