Voters, arm yourselves!

By Lynn Hulsey | Friday, July 18, 2008, 08:06 PM

Project Vote Smart is offering Ohio voters a free 2008 Voter’s Self-Defense Manual, paid for with funding from the Ford and Carnegie foundations.

“The 100-page Voter’s Self-Defense Manual is the first, best step to smart voting,” said Adelaide Elm, founding board member of Vote Smart. “The Voter’s Self-Defense System our interns and volunteers are creating enables each voter to strip away the campaign hype, spin and negative attacks to expose what the candidates may do for us - or to us - if elected.”

The manuals will have a sampling of information form the Vote Smart databases, covering more than 40,000 incumbents and candidates running for office this year. They include background and contact information, information on key votes and interest group ratings, campaign contributions, public statements and what the group calls a “political courage test.”

Manuals are available by request at www.votesmart.org or by calling the Voter Research Hotline at 1-888-VOTESMART.

Project Vote Smart is a national, non-profit, non-partisan research and information gateway.
