Written by Elisabeth on October 16, 2008

You asked for it. And here it is. A few weeks ago, Courage Campaing surveyed thier members about whether or not they should provide recommendations on California ballot measures to thier nearly 100,000 members and supporters. The overwhelming answer: Yes, absolutely! So, today, they're launching a 2008 Progressive Voter Guide for the 12 -- that's right, 12 -- propositions on California's November ballot. The Voter Guide includes not only Courage Campaign recommendations, but also the recommendations of nine other leading California progressive organizations.  Click here to download and print the Courage Campaign's 2008 Progressive Voter Guide from our web site: http://www.couragecampaign.org/2008VoterGuide

The choices you make on this ballot will impact you, your family and friends for decades to come. They have talked about why they think you should vote "No" on Proposition 8, which would eliminate equal rights for same-sex couples. They've also talked about why they think you should vote "No" on Proposition 4, which would undermine teen safety and abortion rights. But what about the 10 other propositions on the ballot? To help you make your choices in this momentous election, check out the printable 2008 Progressive Voter Guide includes: (1) Short, easy-to-read, recommendations from the Courage Campaign.
