I have put the following code together and maybe someone can help me figure out the last piece of the puzzle. You can also see what is happening at the URL http://www.constitutingamerica.org/dev2/

<?php $args = array(
	'show_option_all'    => '',
	'show_option_none'   => '',
	'orderby'            => 'ID',
	'order'              => 'ASC',
	'show_count'         => 1,
	'hide_empty'         => 1,
	'child_of'           => 0,
	'parent'			 => 0,
	'exclude'            => '',
	'echo'               => 1,
	'selected'           => 0,
	'hierarchical'       => 0,
	'name'               => 'cat',
	'id'                 => '',
	'class'              => 'postform',
	'depth'              => 1,
	'tab_index'          => 0,
	'taxonomy'           => 'classification',
	'hide_if_empty'      => false,
    'walker'             => ''
);

$tax_menu_items = get_categories( $args ); ?>

<form name="class-filter" method="get" >
<select name="class-dropdown" onchange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value="">Select</option>
<? foreach ( $tax_menu_items as $tax_menu_item ): ?>
    <option value="<?php echo get_term_link($tax_menu_item,$tax_menu_item->taxonomy); ?>"><?php echo $tax_menu_item->name; ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
<?php

$sub_tax_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
if($wp_query->get_queried_object_id()) {
$args2 = array(
	'show_option_all'    => '',
	'show_option_none'   => '',
	'orderby'            => 'ID',
	'order'              => 'ASC',
	'show_count'         => 1,
	'hide_empty'         => 1,
	'child_of'           => 0,
	'parent'			 => $sub_tax_id,
	'exclude'            => '',
	'echo'               => 1,
	'selected'           => 0,
	'hierarchical'       => 0,
	'name'               => 'cat2',
	'id'                 => '',
	'class'              => 'postform',
	'depth'              => 1,
	'tab_index'          => 0,
	'taxonomy'           => 'classification',
	'hide_if_empty'      => true,
    'walker'             => ''
);

$tax_menu_items2 = get_categories( $args2 ); ?>

<select name="class-dropdown2" onchange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" >
<option value="">Select</option>
<? foreach ( $tax_menu_items2 as $tax_menu_item2 ): ?>
    <option value="<?php echo get_term_link($tax_menu_item2,$tax_menu_item2->taxonomy); ?>"><?php echo $tax_menu_item2->name; ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
<? } ?>
</form>

The only thing I need to figure out is how to keep the second drop down menu populated once it has been selected. Any ideas?

I would like to just show the first paragraph on the home page then when the user clicks the READ MORE it would take them to the full article.

I thought I had done this with pages before… Hmmmm

Can someone please help with this???

I am not sure about the calendar…do I have to ahve that installed?
