So the bus tour has officially started, and all of the kinks seem to worked out. As we travel the country, we are determined to visit as many people and locations as we possibly can before election day 2008. You can view our schedule of events thus far HERE. However, if you just can't wait for the bus to come to your area, and you want to know what is going on at each stop, we have set up a few different ways that you can take part in the journey along with our bus tour staff:

• Our bus staff will soon begin blogging from the bus. They will tell you about the highs and lows of life on the road, as well as letting you know a little bit about the people they meet, and the reactions they are getting to the Voter's Self-Defense System.


• We have set up a YouTube Channel for Project Vote Smart and the national bus tour. Here, you can watch videos of some of the sights that our staff encounters while on the road. Also, we will be asking visitors to our bus a series of questions about today's political climate, and will be posting these answers there. So add us as a friend if you have a YouTube account, and leave us some feedback on our videos. The YouTube channel can be found: HERE


• We will also be documenting the travels of the bus tour through a Flickr account. Here you can view pictures of the bus tour, as well as upload some of your own if you visit the bus. The Flickr page can be found HERE.

I hope you will check out these things, and give us feedback. Feel free to upload photos on our Flickr group, or send us videos to put on the YouTube Channel.
