Voting Resources
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
These are the mindful words of Evelyn Beatrice Hall in a book she wrote describing the life and times of French philosopher Voltaire (pen name of François-Marie Arouet).
The sites below provide useful information before voting. There are trillions of political resources to look up party platforms, voting records, and endorsements. Below are a few to help us in our endeavor for "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness". This is not a complete list of every political persuasion. These are good facts to know because they have been influential and will be influential for a long time to come. If we are to liberate our minds and understand others, me must learn about people, places, things, and ideas that we may support or cause us discomfort.
