The Political Action Page: For those who want to try some homemade legal sausage-making.

Economic Policy InstituteEPI 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.

Conservative Gen-XCGX: for conservative Gen-Xers (who seem just as touchy about the media as their GOP elders...)

FEC InfoFECInfo, 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...
