GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BALLOT INITIATIVES

There is only one week to go until the elections!
Most voters should have decided by now who they are voting for. If you are still undecided, I recommend looking at alternative candidates, such as Independent Ralph Nader or the Constitution Party's Chuck Baldwin. You can watch them debate the issues here.

Aside from the national race for President, there will be several improtant ballot measures up for consideration. Over the next couple of days, I will be weighing in with my opinion on these initiatives for the state of California, but for now, here are some videos to help you make sense of what they are all about.
