Critically examine campaign communications;

• Who is endorsing or opposing the candidate or ballot measure?

• Who are the major financial supporters?

• Does the material contain personal attacks, ridicule the candidate, contain statements that cannot be verified or employ scare tactics?

• Who sent or published the material? The candidate? An unknown or poorly identified source?

• Are you receiving a large number of mailing pieces or other communications attacking a candidate or ballot measure?

• Are sponsors clearly identified? (As individuals or just as a committee.)

• Is there dis- or misinformation included? Can you verify the accuracy of the information?
