Citizen Voice's Nonpartisan Election Project

California Primary Election
February 5, 2008
 Audio Interviews

Looking for a way to cut through the confusing election clutter?  We've launched an ambitious and unprecedented project: unscripted, unedited, on-demand interviews with both sides of every statewide ballot measure -- specifically to help you, the voter. 

pic_votedefinition_99x148.jpgWith this unique project, you have the opportunity to hear directly from both sides of every issue in California's 2008 primary election - anytime, online at your convenience. Unlike 30-second ads, pre-packaged sound bites or election speeches spun by political campaigns, these are highly valuable, 10-minute interviews conducted by Gary Dietrich, a highly respected political analyst and the president of Citizen Voice, featuring the types of questions you're likely to want answered in order to help you make an informed decision before casting your vote.

More information about the ballot measures is available through the California Secretary of State and through some of the other resources we have listed on our voter links below such as the Easy Voter Guide.

*Tips for downloading audio files:

  • You'll need an audio player to download the .mp2 file.
    Click here to download QuickTime Player. 
  • It may take a minute for each audio file to download (during which time a message should appear in the toolbar stating that the file is downloading).  Once downloaded (at least with Quick Time Player), until you restart your computer again, you should be able to quickly go in and out of each file, to pause during playback and to resume playing without a big delay.   
  • When finished listening, use the back arrow on your browser to exit the audio interview (and not the "x" button) to return to the Citizen Voice election page.
