You are registered to vote, aren't you?

Oh yes, long ago, and have voted many times for various elections. but i would like to be more informed about how gov't really works vs. what the politicians say they are going to do to 'fix' it so i have a better idea about whose smoke being blown up my ass is gonna burn me more if i vote for them. i want to find out candidates real histories, not just the crap you hear on ads etc. for local as well as national elections. thats why i said 'reputable' sources, those that are the least biased, and represent the facts the best. a did this, b did that, and heres the weather.
