Libraries are the bulwarks of democracy
Welcome to LFD!
Welcome to Libraries For Democracy! We are here to provide you with factual, useful, non-partisan information on politics and the important social issues of the day.
Our purpose is to help all Americans become better informed, more effective citizens. Without your informed participation, America could easily cease to be a democracy. LFD will try to make it interesting, worthwhile, and even fun to be well-informed about politics and social issues. We are the thinking person's complete political resource and networking site! Please let us and each other know what you think about political and social issues by using the LFD forum and by responding to LFD blogs & features.
Using LFD will help you strengthen America’s freedom, democracy, equality of opportunity, and general economic prosperity. This site is called Libraries For Democracy because it was created by librarians who believe libraries are bulwarks of American democracy. LFD partners with your local library and with librarians all over America to develop reliable, non-partisan information to help all of us make good decisions for America. Ask your local library if it is an LFD Certified Democracy Center and please join in the democracy-related programs it provides. American democracy depends on you!

As we all know, this year we head to the polls in November to elect a president. If you watch Television, or read the news in any format, you could not have missed the coverage of the Republican primaries. The coverage is similar to what sports teams get during the playoffs.

Who is in a position to give people strong unbiased information concerning…
