The Family Vote 2012
As an election approaches it seems like, especially in this highly digital age, information is flying at us from all directions. The pundits do their thing, those on either side of the aisle stay there, getting more entrenched than ever before, and sometimes the issues that truly matter to families are shoved aside for those that seem sexier, simpler or potentially more vote-getting.
Our October print cover story will guide you through several of the major issues that affect families and kids: The economy and jobs; education and education funding; social issues like recreational marijuana and marriage equality. Check out our Voting Guide for families to get situated on the issues.
Then stay up-to-date on election views, news and ideas with our regularly updated blog posts and featured content below. Get ready for the debates and Election Night parties with amazing patriotic treats, get your kids involved, and have some serious civic-minded fun!
