Rebuttal to Argument against Proposition 226

Powerful union leaders are waging a deceitful campaign to defeat proposition 226, because it will eliminate their ability to direct tens of millions of dollars to political candidates and causes without approval from their members. THEY KNOW THEY CANNOT DEFEAT 226 ON THE MERITS, SO IT IS THEIR INTENT TO MISLEAD VOTERS.

UNION LEADERS SO FEAR HAVING TO ASK THE MEMBERS' CONSENT TO SPEND THEIR MONEY, THEY'LL SAY ANYTHING TO DEFEAT 226.

HERE ARE THE FACTS:

REMEMBER: EVERY TIME YOU SEE AN AD TRASHING PROPOSITION 226, IT IS BEING PAID FOR BY UNION LEADERS --WITH MEMBERS' MONEY--BUT, WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.

PROPOSITION 226 IS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT.
