Abstract
We present the images and modeling data obtained from a dual frequency, six-epoch, VLBA polarization experiment monitoring a sample of 12 blazars. The observations were made at 15 and 22 GHz at evenly spaced, bimonthly intervals over 1996. The advent of the VLBA makes possible a data set with reliable calibration as well as regular and frequent temporal sampling. Detection of circular polarization, proper motion studies, and flux and polarization variability in the sample are some of the topics that such a data set makes available for robust investigation.
