Re: Charlie Brown’s Mailer Distorts the Truth
Cal-Tax calls on Brown to Stop Deceptive Attack
Charlie Brown is distorting the record and making wild accusations in an effort to discredit Tom McClintock’s record. Trailing by 8 points in the most recent poll, Brown is fabricating claims in a desperate attempt to deceive voters.
The mailer claims “McClintock voted to make it easier to raise taxes, leaving citizens at the mercy of reckless spending by the state legislature,” and using a quote from the California Taxpayers Association. Cal-Tax wrote a letter to Brown saying “Senator McClintock routinely earns perfect scores on Cal-Tax’s voting records, illustrating that he doesn’t just talk about protecting taxpayers, he backs up his words with a solid voting record. We call upon you to immediately cease using Cal-Tax’s name in this deceptive attack ad.” The full letter is attached below.
