New tools to vote more responsibly
Hello Everyone!
I am very excited to have found two new resources designed to help Americans make more responsible choices in November!
http://www.vote-smart.org
Gives background on every candidate across the nation. It includes things like who contributes to their compaigns, which special interest groups they are aligned with, and candidates’ own answers to questions regarding which policies they support. I don’t know of any other site that provide such comprehensive information.

This site has chosen what they feel to be key issues to America’s middle class and shows how every Senator and Representative voted on them. It then grades them on their adherence to middle class values. While not as in-depth as the first site, it’s a great way to see at a glance which Democrats are really voting along with the GOP.
I’d like to spread this information as far and wide as possible to empower Americans to make more informed and responsible choices on Election Day. Please feel free to repost this information wherever you think appropriate.
Namaste,
Gwen
