BTW, make sure you're registered to vote with your new address so you and J. won't miss out on the fun in Nov. <BR/><BR/>http://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/voter/index.shtml<BR/><BR/>If you're looking just at the prez candiates, I think it's nice to compare what they say they believe on their websites. They state all their issues--it's like a Deluxe resume.<BR/><BR/>www.barackobama.com<BR/>www.johnmccain.com<BR/><BR/>Here's my fave election site:<BR/><BR/>www.votesmart.org/<BR/><BR/>--a non-profit that offers a ton of info on all candidates for election (local included). For Prez candidates, they offer <B>voting records</B> and <B>campaign donor records</B> from the Senate<BR/><BR/>I think all the major news networks have good information too, but I think it's good to look at a couple to be sure you're getting a balanced perspective.<BR/><BR/>Plus, here are some other sites I like:<BR/>www.slate.com<BR/>www.economist.com<BR/><BR/>Don't forget that other people in your town and state will be up for office too. The local and state newspapers will have lots of info on them.<BR/><BR/>Now, if only I could get Nu interested. Ironically, he's the least politically-minded person I know. At least J has an opinion.Debohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374185989190531371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14170354.post-2950147824417347102008-08-30T22:27:00.000-04:002008-08-30T22:27:00.000-04:00http://www.issues2000.org/default.htmVery eye-open...http://www.issues2000.org/default.htm<BR/><BR/>Very eye-opening!<BR/>Love you, cuz!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14170354.post-68757385895638445832008-08-30T22:13:00.000-04:002008-08-30T22:13:00.000-04:00Well, not gushing so much...but again, I cannot em...Well, not gushing so much...but again, I cannot emphasize the UNINFORMED part of things enough.<BR/><BR/>Debbie, help.Leslie Ruth Petreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734633676937103942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14170354.post-14999453212478231302008-08-30T22:04:00.001-04:002008-08-30T22:04:00.001-04:00But WAIT!
