Register to Vote -- online registration, no excuse now!

Issues

  • American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)  and The Center for Policy Alternatives  With more and more public policy-making moving from the federal to the state level, these organizations from the right and left of the political spectrum are primary agents proposing policies and model legislation. You might find it helpful to explore their proposals before the next election.

  • Campaign Reform- Understanding the Issue --  from Public Agenda, an organization that "unbiased and unparalleled research that bridges the gap between American leaders and what the public really thinks about issues ranging from education to foreign policy to immigration to religion and civility in American life." An excellent source.

  • First Lady Hillary Clinton's Daily Schedules -- newly released by the U.S> Archives, these document Hillary's days while her husband was President. Full-text, but be prepared for large .pdf downloads. Not recommended for dial-up connections on your computer.

  • League of Women Voters -- unbiased candidate information.

  • Politifact -- "a project of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly. In the months ahead, the news staffs of both organizations will examine major claims by presidential candidates and rule on their veracity. Our Truth-O-Meter will help voters sort fact from fiction in the campaign. This is a working database and over time it will grow more valuable."

  • Project Vote Smart--a comprehensive bi-partisan, objective political information site. Find out where your polling place is, how to register to vote, who the candidates are, how they voted, what their stand on issues actually are, as well as up-to-date biographical and contact information. Sort of like a consumer's guide to politicians in your area. Just the facts.
