We would love to provide links directly to endorsed candidates' Web pages and to Web pages advocating passage of the endorsed resolutions, but Sierra Club guidelines prohibit that: "Web pages that are financed by general Club funds (c4 funds) cannot link directly to candidates' campaign Web sites or to the Web sites of non-Club political advocacy organizations."
