That’s 66 years of honoring progressive leaders! This year we are proud to highlight the work of:  U.S. Senator Tom Harkin -- Frances Perkins Award for Public Service
A liberal lion, Senator Harkin has been a strong defender of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. For over 40 years, Senator Harkin has fought passionately to improve the quality of life for Americans with disabilities and their families, to reform our education system and ensure that every American has access to affordable health care.

Eagerly Watching the Supreme Court Today the Supreme Court held off on the DOMA and California Prop 8 rulings; however the Court did announce its decision to strike down Arizona's voter registration law. This is a huge victory for the federal government's authority to regulate federal elections.
