Title: Candiadate Records and Platforms Post by: Soldier4Christ on October 11, 2006, 10:32:54 AM It was requested to post a list of the platforms and voting records of prospective candidates so that we (Chriatians) might have a better idea of how to vote and who to vote for.
Since there are so many people running for office right now in all of the states a list such as that is would be very extensive. I have been putting together such a list for the area where I live and it has taken me quite some time to do that much. One of the major things in this is that we must remember that some politicians say they are for one thing and then we see their vote reflect something else. So for expediency I have found several a list on the Washington Post that has already put together a Congress Voting Record. This information is available through the Library of Congress or NARA (National Archives and Records Adminstration) but one may have to filter through a lot of information there just to get this information. This web site have already done just that. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/ The other problem that we have here is the number of people that are running for office that do not have a voting record as of yet. We would have to look at their platform and simply take their word for what they stand for. |
