Election Year - Required Reading

In a recent interview aired on Democracy Now! (an independent news program co-created by journalist Amy Goodman) Michael Copps, former chairman of the FCC, said:  "The future of our democracy hinges upon having an informed electorate."

In this election year, two documents should be required reading for all citizens:  The U.S. Constitution and People's Guide to the Federal Budget.
