THE UNIONS ARE BREAKING US (& much more) The Nation's Intelligent Voter's Guide




http://www.thenation.com/article/168743/every-intelligent-voters-guide-electioneering-bunk


THE UNIONS ARE BREAKING US:

It’s teachers and other unionized workers—and their fat job packages—that are bankrupting states!

In Wisconsin, two-thirds of corporations pay no taxes, and the share of state revenue from corporate taxes has fallen by half since 1981. The same is true in other states.
John Nichols, The Spirit of Wisconsin


From the email: It's already starting to hit the fan. By November you'll hear these claims and allegations over and over again. All electioneering BUNK.

As the 2012 presidential campaign gets under way, The Nation is here to help—ready, willing and able to debunk many of the most prevalent lies that you, your family and friends will be asked to swallow during the election season.

Click this link to read and download The Nation's FREE VOTER'S GUIDE. In it we take on 13 of the most fraudulent claims, ranging from unions, regulations and taxes to global climate change, debt and more—all culled from America's most fearless and independent-minded magazine.

Please share it widely.

In corporate media, phony evenhandedness treats both sides as guilty of what only one side is doing. For nearly 150 years, one weekly magazine—The Nation—has stood in opposition to this media practice.

Nobody owns The Nation—not GE, not Comcast, not Murdoch or Time Warner. So there's never a corporate slant in our pages.

Independence is what allows us to present our readers with fresh ammunition for combating the lies, disinformation and outright bunk that we'll all be bombarded with during the 2012 election season—on everything from the state of the economy to gun laws, healthcare, voting rights, immigration reform, education, and just about every other important issue you care about.

So check out our comprehensive Voter's Guide today, just by clicking that link.

As the presidential campaign heats up, consider giving The Nation to friends and family members.

Sincerely,

Teresa Stack, President
