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 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.
