Dear Supporter,
The light from the most youthful, intensely vibrant, distant galaxy yet discovered, reached earth just a few weeks ago. I was struck by the fact that we only now know that it exists, but that we also know, after the 13.1 billion years it took its light to arrive on earth, that this same galaxy would now be at the end of its life
It is eerily parallel to Vote Smart, where only the most knowledgeable on earth know the importance of facts, while with the masses it can take a good deal more time to see the light. Time we may no longer have.
Lying has become acceptable and lies travel faster than facts. Somehow, they have become more interesting, entertaining and deserving of attention, while facts are slow, boring and gain less traction.
So, Vote Smart will take a shot, accelerate to warp speed with a new website, social media, videos, PSAs and a young team that slams the facts right in the face of any American willing to think and capable of understanding that FACTS MATTER.
We have been working on this effort for more than a year. Much of what has been announced you may already know, so I hope you will take the time to send this email on to someone else who might care.
