With Election Day coming up, here are some useful resources to be aware of!

Causes helps keep you up to date with current political issues across the nation, explaining the arguments on both sides of the political aisle to their perceived importance and arguments for/against them. They also provide updates as to when and how your elected representatives vote on legislation in Congress.

The South Carolina Electi b Committee (scvotes.gov) provides you with polling location, sample ballots, and all relevant governmental information surrounding elections you need in order to vote.

Ballotpedia provides biographies and publicly available documents/information on candidates running for election. This includes education, background, experience, scandals, and prior voting/political records. They also provide lists of donors and funding affiliation.

Clemson Votes is an on-campus voter education, registration, and involvement organization which helps provide students relevant resources, opportunities, and information regarding voting.

Voteologyorg is a similar collegiate voting initiative to Clemson Votes, but not Clemson-specific.

Vote Save America is a national drive to provide voters all they need in order to vote, volunteer, and keep up to date with things that matter most to our nation and the electoral process.

Open Secrets is a national research and government transparency group tracking money in politics and its effect on elections and policy.

Clemson Forward seeks to provide a much-needed forum for growth, learning, and voter education in an era of increasing radicalization, demonization, division, and polarization.

Our motto, that of our nation's, 'E Pluribus Unum,' exemplifies and sums up our mission and cause - "Out of many, one."
America's strength has always been found in its diversity of belief, ideology, opinion, race, creed, and religion as the world's great 'melting pot.'

As Thomas Jefferson, one of our most influential Founding Fathers and second President of the United States, put so poignantly in a letter penned to John Tyler Washington - "No experiment can be more interesting than that we are now trying, and which we trust will end in establishing the fact, that man may be governed by reason and truth. Our first object should therefore be, to leave open to him all the avenues to truth."

As the 'great experiment in democracy' that America was and is for the world, we must always leave our minds, hearts, and ears open to those we disagree with if we are ever to survive and function as a diverse and functioning democracy.

That begins with listening and understanding those you feel may be diametrically opposed to your sense of direction the nation should head in. We should begin to see ourselves united in the commonality of our cause and national identity than the political party divisions in opinion of approach.

We here the term “fake news” tossed around a lot today. But what exactly is it and how can you tell? What are some “real” news sites? Well fake news starts with bias. While bias isn’t inherently wrong and is something we all have, it is important to be mindful what biases different news sources have and how it may impact what they tell you, what they don’t tell you, and how they tell you it.

Having a well informed and less radical voter base starts with educating the dangers radically biased news sources pose and proper alternatives. Again, while no individual or source is completely free of bias, below are some good examples of much more reliable and moderate sources of news. But also continue to listen to news sources with biases, both on the left and in the right so as to keep in the know what other Americans have influencing their decision making process and to expose yourself to different points of view beyond your own biases.

Other Forward Policies:

• Instituting 18-year term limits for members of Congress.
• To establish a new cabinet-level Department of Technology.
• Support civic juries and advocate for a "citizens' portal” to make accessing government provided resources simpler and more easily accessible.
• Support data as a property right.
• An economy based on "human-centered capitalism", the enactment of universal basic income, and support for alternative forms of measuring economic progress.
• Automatic tax filing.
• The implementation of a universal health care system.
• Public finance reform in the form of democracy dollars.
• Encouraging Forwardists to maintain their membership in the Democratic and Republican parties as to not disenfranchise them by leaving them unable to vote in party primaries. As a consequence, Forward plans to endorse candidates from both major parties, third parties, as well as independents who advocate for the core values rather than field their own.
