Free Credit Report
Federal law allows you to request a free credit report, once every 12 months from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.  With so many websites trying to scam you for money to get these reports, I wanted to make sure we know where to get them for free.

Range Voting
I have seen very few proposals that would fix our political system.  Finally someone has a proposed a system that will increase the number and quality of candidates, reduce the influence of political parties, reduce the effect of gerrymandering, reduce the effect of negative campaigning, reduce the influence of money in politics, and will help Americans elect candidates that most people can support.  The information presented deserves careful study.  It is hard to grasp the effect this voting system would have if only a quick glance is given.
