Hey, you should vote. You know you should! We'll talk in class about what elections (national and local) might mean in terms of nuclear issues. But here are a few resources to get us started:
1) list of the offices up for election this fall in Cook County Illinois. Navigate from this page to get more basic info on voting in Chicago. If you are voting elsewhere, it's a simple Google search to find your local government elections information.
2) party platforms for the 2012 presidential election and past elections, hosted by UCSB. This is a great place to review what the two major parties claim as their core values and policy ideas, and to look at how they have evolved over time. Fascinating!
3) President Obama's campaign website (they are trying to get your email address when you click on this, but there is a way to navigate to the page without giving it - just look). Under "Get the Facts" there is information about Obama's views on Energy policy and National Security, two areas of relevance for this class.
4) Mitt Romney's campaign website (has the same issue - look for the link at the bottom of the page that lets you skip giving your email address). If you navigate to the "all issues" page you can read Romney's position on topics such as what to do about Iran as well as on energy issues.
