POPVOX Issue Spotlight: Elections and Campaign Finance
Spotlighting an Issue on POPVOX
From time to time, we like to send POPVOX users an update of new bills by issue area. As in this example, if you weighed in on a bill about firearms, then you might receive an email from me alerting you to other firearms bills. (Full disclosure: while I think this idea is brilliant, it isn't mine. It was suggested by several POPVOX users -- so keep the suggestions coming!)
I'll be posting these issue suggestions here, in addition to my bill picks for the day (as I explained in an earlier post ).

Please keep in mind that highlighting a bill doesn’t imply an endorsement in any way. Rather, we’re simply trying to offer one more way to stay informed of an overwhelmingly complex legislative system. (Another way is to check out the
“Trending Bills of the Week”
.) As always, thanks for using POPVOX and I hope you stay in touch with us on
