Join us as we defend the FACTS!

[1]

Dear Supporter,



I often end my staff meetings saying, “Go save the world.”

They are all young and I am pretty sure they think it is funny, or just
that Richard is a bit odd.

But as an oldster, I do not say those words with humor in mind. My
experience tells me that saving democracy needs doing.

When facts and reality are being torched for all to see, and so few
recognize it as so, I do think our staff, interns or anyone who has their
backs are in a struggle for self-governance—to save it from a mob unable or
unwilling to distinguish fact from fantasy.

So, we stand and we fight.

We fight with every fact, on every vote, on every issue position, on every

statement made, on every biographical detail, on every evaluation done, on
every contribution made.

And we deliver it free to every citizen interested in TRUTH.

We deliver it to over eleven million users who have discovered
[2]votesmart.org and through Google, Bing, Yahoo, and media outlets that
depend on facts and use Vote Smart to make sure their own efforts are spot
on.

[3]Help us hold today's politicians accountable

It is your support of our students, interns and volunteers that makes this
fight for the facts possible:

[4]ISPY: Examine the biographical, voting records, issue positions,
ratings, speeches and funding facts on any candidate.

[5]VOTEEASY: Identify which candidate is your best match on the issues you

care about.

[6]POLITICAL GALAXY: Select any politician on any issue and instantly see
their entire public record on that subject.

[7]VOTER’S RESEARCH HOTLINE: Just call 888-VoteSmart and get your own

personal researcher.

[8]ONPOINT: All the facts on current issues right over your smart phone.

MY VOTE SMART: Register any politician and any issue and we will update you
every time they make a move on that topic.

[9]VOTER’S SELF-DEFENSE MANUAL: A report on your congressional
delegation’s performance.

[10]BULL: A collaboration with the most prestigious fact check
organizations that identifies the most egregious lies told by candidates.

We go through millions of documents and present the facts in easy-to-use,
simple-to-understand tools because you give us the power: the computers,
programs and resources that make it all possible.

Thank you for all you have done to support our students and staff.

Best wishes,

Richard Kimball

Vote Smart President
