You've heard Obama, you've seen McCain. But do you know that there are also 12 state initiatives on the November ballot? These initiatives include:

• $15 billion in new state debt - on top of the $16 billion state deficit
• Green energy and vehicle initiatives which many environmental groups oppose
• An alternative proposal at political redistricting 3 years after the first failed
• 3 different propositions on public safety - each a different vision of our criminal justice system
• Gay marriage ban

Seems confusing? Come learn the facts behind the rhetoric! Silicon Valley Votes is proud to bring you an opportunity to discuss these issues in an informative, non-partisan environment. You will learn more about the actual text, history, issues, and context of each initiative. We will have speakers from the League of Women Voters, a national organization that has 80 years of experience doing policy analysis and voter education.
