Know the
facts before you vote.
Here are 3 web
sites that will make you an more educated voter.
If
you want to be an educated voter take a
minute to check the facts. Many political ads are very misleading and
hope to have people voting on what they want you to
hear rather then what is fact.
|
Political Ads
The next time you see a political TV ad check
it's accuracy at http://factcheck.org/
Fact Check is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, "consumer advocate" for
voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in
U.S. politics.
It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University
of Pennsylvania. The APPC accepts NO funding from business corporations,
labor unions, political parties, lobbying organizations or individuals.
It is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation. |
Emails
Another good site to check the validity of emails is
www.snopes.com
The next time you get one of those emails about a
candidate, that was forwarded to you, check it's validity and where it
originated from. |
Voting
Records
Want to be an even more educated voter?
Find out what your candidate really
represents, check out their voting record here
http://www.votesmart.org/election_president.php
Just for fun, check out
McCain's voting record on Amtrak. Your livelihood could depend on it.
