LHS LibraryProject Vote Smart is an independent organization that invites students to learn more about politician positions and issues while discovering candidates that have similar political philosophies. Two of Vote Smart’s features are especially useful. The Political Galaxy allows users to search for a federal politician by name or zipcode. A variety of issues are available to dive into more deeply. For example, one could search an individual politician and his or her connection to the topic of “Civil Liberties” through the lenses of affiliations, voting record, expressed positions, speeches on the topic, ratings by interest groups, and funding sources related to the topic. A student favorite is Vote Smart’s “Vote Easy” section. This allows the user to answer questions on a variety of issues and see what presidential or congressional candidates he or she aligns with most. Students can rate how important the topic is to them which will also be used to calculate each user’s political match.

hpbookmarksPVS provides the following information:
"- Background and education: We could collect that on the politicians from both their own words and secondary sources.
- Their references: We could research the people funding their campaigns (their applications of employment).
- Evaluations of their previous work experience: We could investigate and collect the over 300 conservative-to-liberal special interests who did evaluations of their performances as it applied to the organization’s selfish interests.
- How they performed in their last job: We could collect all of their voting records and categorize them by subject.
- Lastly, an employer interviews the applicant on the matters that they will hire the applicant to work on: We could interview the politicians on the issues polls showed were of interest to their employers (voters) and that would most likely confront the applicant if hired (elected). We could even measure the degree to which a politician would refuse to provide such information - an attitude unique to applicants for political positions and amazingly acceptable to those hiring them."politics voting government elections reference facts issues positions research u.s.

Manuel GertrudixHere at Project Vote Smart, Americans young and old volunteer their time, take no money from special interest groups, and have committed themselves to an extraordinary effort that, if successful, will provide their fellow citizens with the tools for a reemergence of political power not known for half a century. Their idea is one you may have thought of yourself. It is a deceptively simple concept but enormously difficult to achieve and would not be possible without the collaboration of citizens willing to lay their partisan differences aside for this one crucial task.
