A Few FAQ About the Arkansas Voter’s Guide

2 CommentsArkansas Voter's Guide,

Family Council has published the Arkansas Voter’s Guide every election year since 1990. We survey the candidates, and we publish their responses in print and online.

Each year we get a few common questions about the Arkansas Voter’s Guide. Below are answers to some of those frequently asked questions.

1. Is the Arkansas Voter’s Guide something that only conservative voters will find useful?

Answer: No. The Arkansas Voter’s Guide deals with a wide variety of issues impartially.

It’s up to voters to decide whether they agree or disagree with the candidates’ positions on the issues.

2. Are the issues covered in the Arkansas Voter’s Guide issues Family Council cares about?

Answer: Not necessarily. We survey candidates on hot-button issues that we believe voters care about. Some of the issues covered in the Arkansas Voter’s Guide down through the years are issues Family Council has barely even talked about, much less taken a position on. The Arkansas Voter’s Guide is not meant merely to inform Family Council where candidates stand on issues. It’s meant to inform voters where candidates stand regarding the issues that matter most to them. (more…)

As you probably know, federal judges around the country have issued rulings on state laws prohibiting same-sex marriage. Several judges have declared these laws unconstitutional; recently, however, a federal judge in Louisiana upheld the state’s marriage amendment.
