1. You’re tired of special interests and lobbyists writing the federal government’s fiscal and foreign policies, and you want a candidate who passed the most comprehensive ethics reform bill since Watergate.

2. You want your government to be more transparent and open about how they spend our tax dollars. See the “Strengthening Transparency and Accountability in Federal Spending Act of 2008” – (S. 3077)

3. You make $250,000 or less and want a $2,200 tax-cut (McCain’s plan would only provides a $1,200 tax-cut for that range according to the independent group the Tax Policy Center).

4. You believe senior citizens drawing $50,000 or less per year in social security should not pay income taxes at all.

5. You don’t think the recent economic policies have been good for the country (McCain) and that we are just a nation of whiners (Phil Graham – McCain’s Chief Economic Adviser).

6. You believe that every American has the right to affordable health care.

7. You think we need a sound energy independence policy that won’t be written by oil companies who make record profits while we pay record prices for gas.

It’s time we all stopped believing the stereotypes and started getting the real facts about the candidates’ policies. In short, stop repeating talking points and start thinking for yourselves.
