2008 Nonpartisan Election Project Media

Just one of the many media comments on CV's Nonpartisan 2008 Election Project:

Help on the Propositions

"When California voters take their first look at their sample ballots over the next few days, they're likely to see those 12 ballot propositions and cry, "Help!"

There are a number of online resources to research the measures, but one I just checked out today stands out. Produced by Citizen Voice, a nonpartisan voter empowerment group, the Web site features 10-to-12 minute video debates on each of the propositions.

The videos feature knowledgeable advocates and opponents on each of the measures. I just finished watching a couple, and found them to be even-handed and informative.

If you're among those screaming for help when confronted with those multibillion-dollar ballot questions, this is a worthwhile place to find it."

(Ventura County Star's Sacramento Bureau Chief Timm Herdt)
