As times change, so do the methods of building a campaign. You have an obligation to know the facts about candidates before casting your ballot; but, with mudslinging, political missteps and distorted messages, it is easy to get lost. If you read the newspaper, watch TV or get your information online, you have been exposed to strategies that attempt to sway voter opinion.
Your Obligation
The more educated and informed a voter is, the clearer the decision-making process.
For an even more in-depth view of candidates’ backgrounds, stances, interest group ratings and finances, look no further than Project Vote Smart (www.votesmart.org). Project Vote Smart is a nonpartisan, non-profit educational resource for voters and is funded by politically independent individuals and foundations.
In addition, a close relative, friend or religious leader who shares your same values can be a reliable source of advice when deciding which candidate is worth your vote.
Anyone can learn to Vote from these printable learning worksheets and videos.
