Long Term Storage

So.. it is 9pm and I am manicaly pressing refresh on my browser page to see the changes.  This is an ideal time to catch up on some of the things that I have been meaning to post.

If you are like me and have trouble really understanding where the candidates stand on issues, then you should check out the VoteMatch Quiz provided by OnTheIssues.org.  It is a simple 20 question quiz that asks you your position on a handful of topics.  It then takes your respones and compares the to the candidates voting records and public statements on their position.  You can also click through to see the details behind those scores.  Show how your specific responses compare to the candidates responses.

Overall, I find the site very useful.  Their position data is fully cited so you are free to make your own judgements of their positions.

I try hard to keep this from being a political blog.  I don’t want to mix Technology and political issues here.  I am going to make an exception for this one though.  It isn’t about parties or who is better than the other.  It is about Voting.  It is about our right to vote and how it is being stolen through legislation and misinformation.

Check out this video on freeforall.tv.  It is a documentry on how the election was stolen in Florida in 2004.  Bare with it, it is a hour long and does get a little silly at parts.  It is well worth watching though.  If anything, you will understand how to protect your rights.

The activist site is videothevote.org.
