	URI - United Religions Initiative
		The Unitarian Universalist Association is the modern institutional embodiment of two separate denominations that grew out of movements and faith traditions which extend back to the Christian reformation era (14-16th centuries C.E.) and well beyond.
		Unitarian faith rejected Calvinist double predestinationâ”the belief that original sin fatally flaws all human characterâ”and the doctrine of the full and absolute personhood of each member of the Trinity.
		Both the Unitarian and Universalist denominations were democratic in church polity and organizational structure.

	Berkeley Parents Network: Unitarian Universalist Churches
		I have read that some Unitarian churches are this way, e.g., more egalitarian, encourging their members to discuss the big issues, but that others are barely distinguishable from main-line Protestant churches.
		A parent recently asked whether there was a Unitarian Church in the area so, as I understand it, her child could explore religion, though the parents aren't religious.
		Unitarian Universalists affirm that wisdom is found in many world religions, as well as in spiritual and humanist teachings (see http://www.uua.org/principles.html for the UU's Principles and Purposes).

	Centerfield: March 2005 Archives
		Democrats choose this approach, I believe, because we are still hypnotized by Jack Kennedy, and the promise of a charismatic leader who can change America by the strength and style of his personality.
		What religious liberalism needs is the New Democrat treatment, which would co-opt the best of religious conservatism (a focus on personal responsibility, optimism) while retaining a free-thinking and skeptical attitude toward those who claim a precise knowledge of God's will.
		But if you have a coalition of Christian liberals to face them - the fundies lose their ace card which is to say "they are fighting secularists/atheists".

		The Democratic DailyDrowning out the Noise Machine, with a liberal dose of news, national and local politics, progressive commentary and opinions, and commonsense conversation, because “Truth is the American bottom line.”
		Focus on the Family, the Christian Coalition and other evangelical Christian groups have lobbied vigorously against the Air Force and Navy rules, urging President Bush to issue an executive order guaranteeing the right of chaplains to pray in the name of Jesus under any circumstances.
		If there really was any meaningful censorship of religious expression (beyond limitations accepted by reasonable religious people to preserve separation of church and state and respect the rights of those of all religions) then I would not expect such a high percentage of US chaplains to fall in opposition to this.

	The New Golden Rule
		We Unitarian Universalists affirm the "inherent worth and dignity of every person," a value undermined when concentrations of power render individual political activity relatively meaningless.
		Democracy is the capacity of people to participate in the decisions that affect their lives, and absent campaign finance reform we are less and less able to do so.
		The Christian Coalition is especially adept at such activity, though they are in court over their tax-exempt status.

	American Civil Liberties Union : Coalition Letter to Congress Opposing Rep. Istook's Religious Speech Constitutional ...
		The right to practice religion, or no religion at all, is among the most fundamental of the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.
		As we have in the past, the Coalition to Preserve Religious Liberty vigorously opposes the so-called "religious speech" constitutional amendment to be introduced by Representative Ernest Istook (R-OK).
		On June 4, 1998, the House of Representatives recognized that a similar "religious freedom" constitutional amendment by Rep. Istook would have hurt rather than helped the cause of religious liberty, and wisely rejected the amendment.

		The undersigned members of the National Coalition for Public Education (NCPE) urge you to oppose H.R. 5193, the Back to School Education Tax Relief Act of 2002, which would do nothing to improve public education.

		In addition, the money could pay for uniforms, transportation, and other supplemental services such as extended-day programs (other than for home schools); and for the purchase of computer technology if used by the student or the student's family.

		Many people are surprised to learn that the most dramatic decline in America’s abortion rate took place under the last Democratic administration when poverty declined, more people graduated from college, employment grew at record rates, and the economy grew at record levels.
		You know what else is a good idea — if Democrats come out with a program to help pregant women out who want to put their babies up for adoption.
		Some of the Young Democrats at Pepperdine were quite upset with Bush policies and asked Kerry about impeachment.

	Portuguese legislative election, 2002 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		That fact, plus the problematic state of the country's finances were the main arguments of the right-wing parties, which led them to win the election.
		The left-wing Unitarian Democratic Coalition achieved the lowest result ever (as of 2005), finishing in the third place in its traditional strongholds, Évora and Setúbal.
		The turnout was the lowest ever, marking a growing separation between the politics and the Portuguese people, mainly due to the image of the politicians as corrupts and the idea that all the parties are the same.

	Portuguese legislative election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These elections were called after the decision of President Jorge Sampaio on November 30, 2004 to dissolve the Parliament as an answer to the political instability caused by the government led by Pedro Santana Lopes (PSD) in coalition with the PP.
		Santana Lopes had become Prime-Minister after José Manuel Durão Barroso left the country in order to become President of the European Commission in a decision that divided the country, because many Portuguese were expecting that the Socialist President Jorge Sampaio would dissolve parliament and call a legislative election.
		The right-wing parties, mainly the Social Democrats, were punished for their performance in government, and lost more than 10% of the voting.
