Reliable Non-Partisan Political Information Forums

By Anita Ortega


Debates on policy are swayed depending on the political stand of the parties involved. This makes it difficult to find non-partisan political information which would be crucial in identifying the truth underlying each issue. Blogs run by independent analysts, individuals and institutions give voters, readers and the public an opportunity to scrutinize facts and make the right decision.

The issues handled on independent blogs include affirmative action, death penalties, legalization of marijuana, government involvement in UN, abortion and the role of world super powers. There are discussions on euthanasia, oil drilling, gun control and legal immigration. Debates also involve school testing, management of budgets and becoming a citizen for foreigners or illegal immigrants. Economic debates include taxes on the rich and poor, minimum wages and performance based payments.

Experts analyze issues with far reaching effects including global wars and their implication on national and international economies. The civil liberties of citizens and inhabitants of war zones are explained using expert assistance. The aim is to shed light on issues that are used to justify war and examine their extent or closeness to truth. Budgetary allocations for wars and their impact on the economy and international image are expounded by experts.

The threat of terrorism and its changing face remains a mystery to many. The impact of intervention measures and the possibility of success are discussed in these forums. There are analysts helping readers to understand civilian deaths and destruction of property. Terrorism suspects and abuse of human rights during confinement have dominated this debate.

The blogs also contain crucial details on events in the past and how they unconsciously shaped the future. Such issues include the Vietnam War, missile defense and war with North Korea. The Three Strike Law and withdrawal of troops from Iraq continue to attract attention, though at a smaller scale. At the economic level is the Dividend Tax Cut that had far reaching effects.

The hot topics at the moment are term limits for elected leaders and universal health care. Value added tax or national sales tax has captured headlines on the economic and financial circles. A lot of responses are being directed to sentiments on same sex marriages which threatens to split the public down the middle. This is a debate that has seen a lot of rumors and misrepresentation of facts.

Specialists in each sector take their time to collect facts and present them in such a way that they will be useful to the public. The pros and cons of each side are presented so that readers can make an informed decision. Only politicians and civil societies are likely to misrepresent facts or not reveal everything for their own personal gains. There are no attempts to favor any side so that readers can make a personal decision.

Non-partisan blogs are run by individuals, institutions and organizations dedicated to disbanding myths propagated by political parties. They do not hold brief for any political party. The debates are crucial in identifying the truth about issues and policies affecting populations at county, state and federal levels.
