In 2004, I was watching the local news station during the campaigns. Please don’t ask what I was thinking, however, I learned about a site which would give you all the candidates, proposals, etc. for your street address. I was able to compare the stances of the candidates who submitted answered to questions, if they couldn’t be bothered to submit answered, I couldn’t be bothered to vote for them. I picked my candidates, decided how I felt about the proposals, printed it out and took it to the polls. I felt strangely satisfied that I wasn’t using process of elimination with a childhood rhyme to pick the best person to represent my values. After completing the survey, I sent myself a copy via email and decided to look it up today to see if it was updated for 2008. If you live in the US, check out the Voter’s Guide for all the positions up for election. It is a non-partisan, information only tool to help us inform ourselves.
