A universal standard for voter information is a must in the information age. A federal program to organize this is a key element of a motivated and educated electorate.
Why is this important?
In California every voter receives detailed information on every candidate and every voter initiative being decided at the election. Most states do not have this so most voters go to the polls without proper information by which to make important election decisions. A small fund to gather and then make this information available to voters should be established. Paid endorsements of candidates etc. (clearly marked as such) could offset costs. California's system could be used as a good model. This should be universal to every US voter.
