Too Lazy to Research a Candidate?

I found a good website for finding out how the current presidential candidates match up to what you care about.   The link below lets you rate how you stand on current issues and how important they are to you and also how important they are to you.  Still a long ways till the election, but a good resource to cut through the spin on TV and see what they actually stand for. Choose your candidate.

Restore Habeas Corpus

The Senate made a terrible mistake last October, and allowed President Bush to damage one of the oldest founding principles of our democracy. They gave the President the authority to seize people and hold them without ever explaining why -- despite the fact that the Constitution itself says he should not have that power. Now some members of the Senate have recognized how big a deal this is, and they're trying to set it right. This week, the Senate will hold its first up-or-down vote on restoring habeas corpus. Tell your Senators to support the Specter-Leahy amendment to the Defense Authorization bill. http://act.truemajority.org/o/1/t/3/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1183 The amendment offered by Senators Leahy and Specter to the Defense Authorization bill would restore habeas corpus. Without habeas corpus, it's a very slippery slope towards dictatorship. So urge your Senators to vote yes on the Leahy-Specter habeas amendment. Join with me and TrueMajority.org to pressure the Senate to do the right thing and restore this fundamental right. http://act.truemajority.org/o/1/t/3/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1183
