Connecting the Dots Between Money & Votes
We live in a news and information age. The difficult part of this extraordinary time is filtering the shouting and propaganda to get to actual information that is fact checked, not trying to sell or market a product, and concerned for the common good. It appears that Maplight.org is such a site. This site tracks campaign contributions for our members of Congress. So, before you take the word of your favorite talk radio personality or TV anger salesman I encourage persons to take the time to do the cross discipline reading necessary to be informed about issues that matter to the world as well as our nation. If we are to emerge from this time in our nation’s history and bring intellectual honesty back to the conversations about how to solve problems it will take persons of goodwill putting the extremists out of business with facts and simply turning off the radio, TV, and not stopping by their websites.
