The Voter's Self-Defense System

Project Vote Smart is a national library of information on 40,000 candidates for public office at all levels of government. They cover them in five basic categories: biographical background, issue positions, voting records, campaign finances and performance evaluations made by over 100 special interest groups. They do not lobby, support or oppose any candidate and they do not accept financial support from any organization that does. They are primarily supported by their 45,000 members. Project Vote Smart is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization funded exclusively through contributions from private citizens and philanthropic foundations. All contributions are 100% tax-deductible.
