Pentagon blocking Courage Campaign's voter guide website over seas, but not tea party sites

A progressive activist group in California is complaining that the Pentagon has prevented soldiers from accessing its web site in Iraq.

Courage Campaign, a 700,000-member grassroots organization, has demanded in a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates that access to its site be provided before the Nov. 2 Election Day.

The voters guide on the website offers a series of recommended votes. For example, it says voters should oppose Proposition 23, which would suspend a 2006 state law requiring restrictions greenhouse gas emissions until the state’s unemployment drops. It also recommends approving Proposition 19, which would allow Californians over 21 years old to legally possess and grow small amounts of marijuana.

In contrast, the group said a number of web sites that espouse conservative views can be accessed on Defense Department computers.
