Here’s todays tip – Vote Smart  provides a non-partisan review of all the candidates and issues in your area. Just type in your 9 digit zip code (look for the number on any bill) and up comes links to all the state and national offices, and state referrendums. Some of the candidates don’t fill out the questioaires, so there are also links to their voiting records.

And if you like their work, you can volunteer at their ranch/office in Montana on the Continental Divide. Board is free (though with less privacy than you’d like) and food is $45 per week and they’d like a two week commitment. They really need member volunteers during fall, winter, and spring when the student interns of the summer aren’t around.

Now I’ll get off my soap box.
