This is my favorite time of year that only happens every four - primary time. The Florida primary is tomorrow, and while only the Republican candidates are being voted on, (don’t get me started about this whole DNC punishing the state about pushing up the primary date…) I’m still thrilled over all the excitement here. I love election years, and this year, I’m paying much more attention to environmental issues and the like. However, just as tough as is it to truly figure out who to vote for, it can be even more daunting to find a website that will take you through the research process easily and without bias.
Enter Glassbooth. Like its name, Glassbooth gives you clear, unbiased access to the candidate’s stances on all of the major issues at hand. Of course, since you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering how Obama, Clinton, McCain, Romney, and the rest of the pack stand on the environment. Glassbooth breaks down the environmental issues further into subcategories including investing in alternative energy, fuel efficiency standards, endangered species programs, and public transportation, among others. Health care, the economy, education, and pretty much anything you might have on your mind (or what’s on their minds) is covered as well. Glassbooth provides candidate quotes, voting records, videos from interviews, links to interviews, and many other forms of information for each category.
Want to know which candidate is standing with you across the board? Glassbooth has a neat quiz you can take to compare where you stand on the issues with the candidates, issue for issue. Start with the point ratings on the homepage, and it will take you further to help you find your perfect candidate. It’s like matchmaking for the President! Your results will be in a unique URL you can send to others, or remind yourself where you stand. It’s a truly comprehensive resource you’ll need to share. And don’t forget to vote!
