How Are Your Members of Congress Voting?

How Are Your Members of Congress Voting on Key Good Government Issues? One of the best ways to arm yourself for taking action on key issues is to understand how your elected officials have reacted to important legislation. The League has compiled the results of recent congressional votes including nine Senate votes and six House votes on key legislation ranging from ethics reform to civil liberties, from children's health care to global climate change. This includes a list of each member of Congress and his or her votes on the League's priorities issues.

NC Public Campaign Fund and the Judicial System

In some states, special-interest groups spend millions to influence who gets elected as a judge.
In N.C., judicial candidates have another option: They can get "clean" campaign money from the NC Public Campaign Fund, if they accept strict fund raising limits. The fund also gives the public a useful Voter Guide about candidates for the NC Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Find the question on your NC income tax form about the Public Campaign Fund. Then say YES to help protect our state courts and elections from wealthy special interests.
Saying YES does NOT change your tax bill or refund. It just sends $3 to the Fund from whatever taxes you pay.
For more information, go to LWVNC or NC Judges or call Democracy North Carolina at 1-888-OUR-VOTE, Project Vote Smart
