TIE: Planned Parenthood, Texas Freedom Network

Despite the near-constant teabaggery backlash, Planned Parenthood still fights to provide quality health care for women. Its president, Cecile (yes, yes, yes, daughter of Ann) Richards, also happens to have founded this award's co-winner, the Texas Freedom Network, a nonpartisan state watchdog that patrols a multitude of civil rights and education issues.
