Candidates for every office are asking voters to come out to the polls in less than a month, but some have spotty records of getting to the polls themselves. The list of who votes and who doesn't is almost relative to a politician's experience. Incumbents with the longest tenures, such as House Speaker Michael E. Busch, D-Annapolis and Del. Barbara Frush, D-Beltsville, have perfect records of voting in the last 12 elections. Sen. John C. Astle, D-Annapolis, and Del. Joan Cadden, D- Brooklyn Park, only missed one election each.
The Washington Times titled its profile of Ryan "The Thinker," highlighting his expansive "Roadmap for America's Future." This "Roadmap," rolled out last May, packages the latest ideas from right-wing think tanks, presenting pro-corporate aims in language stressing individual choice. These include: [Conor Sweeney Ryan] says Ryan and other Republicans in Congress did not simply oppose [Barack Obama]'s "deeply flawed bill." They proposed an alternative economic recovery plan that included infrastructure investments and "a fast-acting tax policy." But critics say Ryan's roadmap, especially with regard to taxes, represents a continuation of failed past policies and is thus ill-suited for this moment in history, especially in Ryan's deeply suffering district. The liberal American Prospect ha...

Democrat Tammy Baldwin is the first woman that Wisconsin has elected to Congress, and the first openly lesbian politician that any state has sent to Congress. In 6 years with the Wisconsin legislature, Rep Baldwin has reached 100% voting records from labor and environmental groups. She is a proponent of universal health care and federal hate crime legislation.
More journalists were killed last year than ever before. No doubt the world has become a more dangerous place for journalists, but not necessarily in ways that people might expect. The risks to foreign journalists, especially for (but hardly limited to) Western correspondents, have risen dramatically. There is another trend that is even more disturbing. When it comes to journalists, the killers get away with the murders in nearly nine out of ten cases. In no less than 89% of journalist murders worldwide, there has been little or no prosecution whatsoever. At the same time, combat journalists and other reporters who cover dangerous situations still face great risks. No less than 18% of the journalists killed on the job in all circumstances since 1992 died covering combat or some other fo...

The Supreme Court has held that an individual relinquishes any Fourth Amendment interest in information that he or she voluntarily discloses to a third party. Known as the "Third Party Doctrine," this controversial rule is increasingly problematic in an age where a large proportion of personal communications and transactions are carried out over the Internet. Internet users expose virtually all of the information they generate online-e-mails, web-surfing histories, search terms, and more-to online service providers. As such, many scholars have assumed that Internet information will be unprotected by the Fourth Amendment. Yet the information disclosed to these online third parties is generally not exposed to human beings at all; rather, it is processed entirely by automated equipment. Ne...

Years ago, I worked as a reporter in Las Vegas, trying daily to dig through the tinsel to find real substance. I dealt a lot with public records. Some of these were arrest records. Some were voting records. Others had to do with marriages or with the ownership of real property. Each one could be a snapshot holding clues to a larger picture. I considered it a great day, for example, if I discovered that a politician hadn't voted in the last election, or if I learned that a public official was delinquent in his or her taxes. That kind of information served a public purpose. It gave voters information that could provide insights into the character of a politician.
In the parking lot on the corner of 14th and Stout streets sit two very different buses - one for Project Vote Smart and the other for Rock the Vote - surrounded by completely different groups of people, but sharing the common goal of informing voters and improving the political process. Rock the Vote stole the show with the appearance of Rep. Robert Wexler, Florida Democrat, and wrestling stars David Bautista and Candice Michelle, also known as the GoDaddy.com model. Mr. Bautista and Miss Michelle were present to re-register to vote and talk about the importance of both registering and voting among young people.
