Are you dissatisfied with the book-length voting guides put out by the USSCB? Do you find it lacks both brevity and clarity? Are you skeptical of the guides put out by Catholic shills of the Left and of the Right as well?

Truth is stranger than fiction. And weird things happen when governments decide to help you decide how many children you can have. Take Singapore, for instance. The island nation, after gaining its independence from Malaysia in 1965 had a total fertility rate (children born per woman) north of 4.7 (down from 5.41 in 1960).
