NEW TEST FROM PEW

This is a terrific test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It surely indicates that the majority of Americans don't know what's going on.

It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. The results say that 80% of the (voting) public doesn't have a clue, and that's pretty scary.

There are no tricks here -- just a simple test to see if you are current on your information.
This is quite a good quiz and the results are somewhat shocking.

Test your knowledge with the challenge of 13 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did:

What would happen if those of us who can do well on this test would just chat with 2 or 3 of the less-aware voters and help them get more focused on what is happening around them?
Do it gently, not arrogantly. Help them see what is in it for them, why they would benefit by making better choices at the polls.
It can't be "us against them" anymore. We need to work together if we are going to save this country.
'They' have been intentionally kept ignorant and dependent. Don't beat them up over it. Help them climb out of the pit.
