Update 12/30/05:

The Daily Mis-Lead, "A Daily Chronicle of Bush Administration Distortion" was discontinued after the 2004 elections. You can sign up to receive updated news at http://civic.moveon.org/keepmeposted//

Moveon.org has continued to build a grass roots movement since November 2004. E-mail updates bring news of upcoming congressional votes and the means to contact your representatives in D.C. to voice your concerns and opinions.

OK, this last site leans one way ideologically...oh well, get over it! At least "The Misleader" cited their sources so you got both sides of the story.
