f
you live in Arizona, Delaware, Maryland, New
Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Vermont,
Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Washington or Louisiana,

Thomas
Jefferson's famous quote, "It is the people
to whom all authority belongs," rings loudest
as we approach Election Day. Our most powerful
voice in shaping public policy will be heard
at the ballot box by people like you and me. As
taxpayers and responsible adults we cannot let
another election year slip by without being
a well-informed voter — especially when so many
issues are at stake that affect the moral climate
of our society.
How
can you vote for candidates who support
your values? Answer: Before heading
to the polls on Tuesday, be sure to read the impartial

represent countless hours of research to make
