Every Thinking American

How can we all not see it: Americans being herded, corralled and abused by those who always seek advantage, even in a system of government designed to strip them of advantage. Accuracy, truth becoming expendable. Lies and manipulation defended and left unpunished. Millions being moved emotionally instead of led intellectually.

A bright beacon of hope is fighting back, building a response, the only response a free people have: A source of unquestioned accuracy about the positions taken, the statements made, the votes delivered and the histories on thousands of politicians now angling for our votes.

VoteSmart.org, a group started by leaders of both parties, worked on by thousands of students, volunteers and committed staff needs the help of every thinking American. 

Vote Smart is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that provides accurate information about candidates, elected officials, and key pieces of legislation. By providing information in an easy and accessible manner, Vote Smart believes that citizens can better defend themselves from the questionable rhetoric and misrepresentation that characterizes present-day political campaigns.
