	Introduction by Moderator & Opening Statements
	How can we be sure that the pool of candidates for the commission will really represent the diversity of the state?
	Why should it matter that the proposed commissions makeup is not proportional to the numbers of Republicans or Democrats in the state?
	What guarantees are there for more fair districting in areas with large numbers of minorities in Prop 11?
	I like my state representative, if Prop 11 passes will I lose my representative?
	How is districting done in most other states?
	Is this additional expenditure for Prop 11 prudent in our current economic times?
	Closing Statments/Outro by Moderator
