In November, I will vote for the first time in a presidential election. I have never had a tremendous interest in politics, but I feel that I should make an effort now that I am able to participate. I'm not sure whether or not I think my vote really matters, but I do want to be able to say I voted for personal reasons. Because of my lack of interest in politics, I feel that I need to catch up on the issues. I do not want to vote blindly for the party I normally side with without knowing each candidates stance on the important issues. Finding an unbiased source of this information is often difficult. Most websites are supported by one candidate or the other. These usually make one candidate out to be the good guy and the other candidate the bad guy. After accessing this website : http://obama-mccain.info/index-obama-mccain.php I think that the information is reliable. While only major issues stances are explained for both McCain and Obama, I feel that I am on the right track to becoming a more informed voter. I challenge all of you out there who aren't very well informed to gain some knowledge on the issues instead of blindly voting come this November. No one wants a President to be elected because no one really knew what he stood for.
