The
Political Action Page: For those who want to try some
homemade legal sausage-making.
EPI is an excellent source of
lefty economic analysis (no, Dittos, that's not an oxymoron),
plus the very useful "Between the Lines"
feature that critiques the economic assumptions of New York Times and
Washington Post
reportage.
Regular
listener and emailer Brad Lowry has contributed a
fascinating look at the seamy underside of the politics...The Real Change
PAC. Here, character isn't an
issue...it's THE issue...strongly worded, and best of all, well
sourced!
In the words of
its partners -- ABC News,
the Washington Post, and the L.A.
Times -- "We want PoliticsNow
to be your first stop on the Web each time you think about
politics, elections and government." As they say in the
voting game, decide for yourself.
Almanac of American Politics:
One of the premier Washington political reference works fully
available on-line.
CPI produces analysis of
where the political dough comes from, a must on-line resource for
informed voters...
Project Vote
Smart: An outstanding database,
especially on politicians' votes, put together by a bi-partisan
citizens group formed in 1994 to help people make better informed
decisions.
All-Politics. CNN's and Time's electoral nook.
CGX:
for conservative Gen-Xers (who seem just as touchy about the
media as their GOP elders...)
FECInfo, an independent
analysis of Federal Election Commission data...For another take
on the nation's budget mess from a source less often heard, check
out the Feminist
Budget Center.
Federal Election
Commission: All the dope on candidate
contributions, except, at this point, individual donors...still,
a good site to bookmark if you want to know who's buying whom.
Twin Cities Freenet Political Directory: A comprehensive list of Minnesota political websites, including Minnesota E-Democracy, the folks who organized the '94/'96 U.S. Senate Cyber-debates that received nationwide attention.
The Christian Coalition...what's up with them?
Donkey
Party flakery...someone send me
Elephant Party japery and I'll link that, too! Also, the DFL Feminst Caucus.
Checks and Balances: Radical moderates from Minnesota, that radically
moderate state.
The Other Direction. A very promising amatuer website with an smattering of
provocative lefty links.
Rock the Vote: The second go-round for the Hollywood-based political
organizing group, sponsored by the record and movie industries. A
lefty base with a stated non-partisan goal: to turn out the youth
vote.
Politics USA: Thorough,
non-partisan, middle of the road, but a good educational
resource...
