At OnTheIssues.org, you can find out where every U.S. representative and senator stands on every issue, including their voting records (how they have voted on legislation). As voters, it’s incredibly important that we keep an eye on what our politicians are doing and make informed decisions about who to support.
This resource is useful in cutting through the hype and soundbites presented to us by the media, which is often manipulated to great effect by politicians. I find the voting records section of the website particularly important because we see what politicians are actually doing, not what they say they are doing! There is also detailed information about those who are running for office.
