This initiative silences working people.

Wealthy corporate interests are once again coming after union families in an effort to silence our voice and clear the field of any opposition to their agenda. This latest attack comes in the form of a “paycheck deception” ballot initiative that corporate backers say is about special interests, but in fact is designed to strip middle class workers from having a voice in politics. This initiative has qualified to appear on the November 2012 general election ballot.

Proponents of the initiative claim it would reign in campaign contributions by both unions and corporations, but in fact, the deceptive wording of the initiative specifically targets union members, while a big loophole leaves corporate campaign contributions essentially unscathed and unchecked.
