Email from Vote Smart Lavender, sage, and verified facts — the backup you’ll want this holiday season.     You can’t control the conversation, but you can control the atmosphere. Not every dinner turns into a debate — but when it does, you know the moment. Someone leans in, someone pushes back, and suddenly it’s all, “That’s the left.” “That’s the right.” That’s why we made Sage Facts for Holidays — a lavender and sage candle designed for calm, created by the same team that believes facts matter. Each candle includes a QR code that connects you to The Holiday Ref, your nonpartisan holiday companion — ready with:  Verified biographies of elected officials and candidates Key legislation and voting records Issue positions Special interest group ratings and endorsements So light the candle before company comes — and when the inevitable “Well, actually…” moment hits, take a breath, scan the code, and check the verified facts without lighting a fuse. We’re planning a limited pre-order for early supporters who love calm and credible information (or know someone who could use a little of both). Each candle is $15 plus shipping — we’ll send the link your way next week! Let us know your interest below!   👉 Want one for your table, or to share a little calm with someone who might need it? Yes, I’ll take one for myself. I want to send one (or a few) as gifts. Both — one for me, and one for someone who needs it more.     Vote Smart | 1153 24TH ST | DES MOINES, IA 50311-4308 US Unsubscribe | Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice
