The Speaker's Word

Although things haven't been going as well as I'd hoped, I've still managed to get this out before the elections to help voters make educated choices. I've always been a proponent of judging candidates based on their activity and qualifications instead of meaningless indicators like 'party' or 'avatar.'

However, I am not one for grandiose speeches most of the time, so without much further ado, I will present the voting records of the 18th Congress, as up-to-date as we have available. Deputy Speaker of the House Claire Littleton (NJ) has worked tirelessly to provide these, so please at least take a look before election day.
