This is going to be an important election for the United States and every citizen needs to be informed about the issues and the candidates.
Project Vote Smart (PVS) is a bipartisan project that provides biographical information, voting records, and issue positions of national, state and local candidates. In addition it has records on interest group ratings, copies of public statements and campaign finance records. It's your one-stop source for election information.
The Library has added a link to PVS in its database section. (Strategically placed in the middle.) Just going to the site is an interesting experience. You can see how elected officials vote in different states and develop a clear understanding of the major issues between the parties.
Check it out and exercise your most important right. Vote! If you don't, someone else will make the decision for you.
