VoteCoreValues.org --- Because they Lie

2012- Massachusetts Site ---------- "Wow, it's like the Consumer Reports of Mass Politics" (thanks, we're trying...)

DID WE GET A RATING WRONG? Well, with incumbents, VOTES speak loud, but with "challengers", picking through the mud can get murky at times. Have your candidate fill out the questionnaire!

Your candidate may be pro-life or pro-abortion. That is his/her option. This site is designed to reflect votes and positions so that YOU know what your candidate's CORE position is on various issues.  In the future, our database of each candidate's rating will contain links detailing the candidate's database of votes which earned each particular rating (except congressional, as their ratings are easily tracked at projectvotesmart).

Definitions used on this website:

         Pro- 2nd Amendment = supports individual's gun rights
Enforce Immigration Laws = oppose drivers license, free tuition and benefits for illegals
                             Pro-Family = pro-child: supports marriage between one man and one woman as he/she would not want to deny a child the fundamental right to have a mother or a father (yes, broken families happen all the time, but by design, homosexual marriage limits diversity), supports parent rights over state rights especially with education in our schools
                                   Pro-Life = supports full term protection and birth of babies, against support of tax dollars for abortion
