Our ballots have arrived in the mail, and now we have to actually fill them out. It's not such an easy task, though. In every election, Californians are asked to parse a truly unconscionable number of ballot propositions and make informed votes on a number of obscure topics. But here at Brain Trust Live, we're here to help!   Enter: The CA Prop BTL Spectacular. Dive in to our 10 state propositions and learn more about how the system works and what we could do differently. Then, make sure to check out (and share) our written guide, which you can find HERE. (It includes additional recommendations for county and city props in our area.) More questions? Feel free to email us at braintrustapproved@gmail.com.   Brain Trust Live is Lila Nordstrom and Brent Thornburg's look at the week in electoral and political news. Join the millions of falling phones, sirens, helicopters, barking dogs, and computer beeps who love our podcast and tell your friends about BTL!  Then rate us on iTunes or find us Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Stitcher, or Instagram! And, as always, you can buy and review Lila's book here: Some Kids Left Behind. Plus, subscribe to Lila's other podcast, What Can I Do, wherever you get your podcasts!
