Our new ad that extreme conservatives will hate


votevets.org

Rep. Jeff Flake.  He is one of the most extreme conservatives ever to run for the Senate.  The people in Arizona know it.

What the people may not know is how Flake has already and plans to hurt veterans.  That changes today, with this new ad from VoteVets.org and Majority PAC.

We’re putting $280,000 behind this ad.  It’s going to flood the airwaves.

Now, we need you to help us raise another $10,000, to get it even more exposure on the internet.

In the ad, Iraq War veteran Steven Lopez from Chandler, AZ makes it clear.  Jeff Flake is so extreme that he:

  • Voted to cut veterans benefits by billions
  • Was one of only twelve to vote against the new GI Bill
  • Was only one of three to vote against job training programs for veterans

CLICK HERE TO HELP US SPREAD THESE FACTS WITH OUR NEW AD
Right now, Flake is in a tied race with Vietnam Veteran Richard Carmona.  There is no doubt.  When Arizonans find out about this, Flake’s credibility as a candidate will plummet.  Now, you have the chance to help us take that effort even further.  Please help us do that by clicking above.
Sincerely,
 General (Ret.) Wes Clark

Middle Class Taxes.

Middle class Americans discuss what a tax increase would mean to them. Unless the House of Representatives takes action before January 1, 2013, taxes will go up on 114 million middle-class families. Republicans in the House of Representatives, however, are refusing to extend middle-class tax cuts without also giving massive tax cuts to the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. In fact, House Republicans have proposed their own tax plan that would actually raise taxes on 25 million families making less than $250,000, while giving families making more than $1 million an average tax cut of $160,000 next

a message from Stephanie Cutter


Truth Team

Yesterday, a leaked video from a closed-door fundraiser showed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney telling a room full of big-money donors that Americans who don’t support him think they’re “victims” who don’t “take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

So rarely over the course of this campaign have we gotten to hear Mitt Romney say what he believes in such a revealing, unfiltered manner. This is one of those moments. It’s important that we make sure that the people in our lives who are just tuning into this election know what disdain and contempt Romney has for half of the citizens of this nation he wants to lead. Take a look at the items in this tipsheet, and then share them with others.

#1 What Americans think of Romney’s comments
The secret video shows that Romney believes nearly half of all Americans won’t take responsibility for their own lives and don’t pay taxes. Watch this video of Americans listening and reacting to Romney’s shocking comments, and make sure others do too

#2 Who Romney is writing off?
It’s worth taking a second to look at some of the people who make up the nearly half of the country that Romney has so much disdain for. Who exactly are these people that Romney rips for not paying income taxes? The overwhelming majority are seniors, students, people with disabilities, or working families. They pay payroll taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, and more. Those working families include U.S. soldiers in combat, receptionists, firefighters, and clergy, just to name a few. Certainly, those folks aren’t short on personal responsibility. Read this blog post highlighting some of the Americans that Romney has written off, and share it with others:

 

#3 Romney’s responsibility map
Romney has said that “my job is not to worry about” the people who don’t support him. But America needs a president who will stand up for all Americans, not just the half of the country who agrees with him. Take a look at this graphic about Romney’s idea of “responsibility” and post it to your Facebook wall.

Thanks,

Stephanie
