Election Day: November 16th, 2012
As we all know, our current president is up for reelection in 2012. He is currently battling a handful of credible, and formidable opponents for the job of president of the United States. The race is on as candidates fan out across the country to vie for support. As voters, we certainly have plenty of options to choose from, many of them hardly ever mentioned in the media. Its bad enough that Ron Paul is largely ignored, but have you ever heard of Fred Karger? Chances are that you have not. What do you know about Thad McCotter? Have you heard of his band, New Flying Squirrels? Probably not.
In order to both educate myself as well as others, I will be embarking on a hunt for information on these candidates. In the coming weeks I will highlight one candidate per day and provide an in-depth analysis of their stances on important issues. This is an endeavour to show what each candidate has to offer, as well as to provide my own opinion on what they have to say. I'm not the sort of person who blindly follows the media, nor do I assume that whoever has the most Twitter followers is the most qualified for the job, therefore researching each candidate is a critical undertaking for making an informed choice at the election booth.
