With the election just around the corner, it is important for everyone to vote, and for everyone who votes to be informed. While I think that most people wont get any more information than what they already have from TV ads, the debates, and what they've heard from friends and family, here are a couple quizzes that may help you decide, or reinforce your decision: http://2012election.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=004491

I think that it is important to vote on every election for which one is eligible because it ensures that America (or the local area for which the election is taking place) is as well represented as possible.
I think it is important for a voter to do their own searching because otherwise the information that is presented to them passively will probably lead them to vote for the candidate with the biggest super PAC, or the candidate who has the most money to spend on ads and other potentially voter-shifting campaigns.
So before voting on this Presidential Election (assuming you're voting) take a look at those surveys and do a little personal research before you make your decision.
