As we get nearer to the election, I am receiving emails which contain information that may or may not be the truth. I find it is beneficial to have a source for facts that is just that, factual. Here is a website you may or may not be aware of. Regardless of your political affiliations or your personal views, this website can be a good resource. Personally, I feel it is especially important to check facts before forwarding emails. I'm finding that many of the political emails I am receiving are best handled with the "delete" key.
Just 22 more days of weeding through all the campaign information that will be coming our way and then we all have a responsibility to get out and VOTE.
