Flyer: Obama vs. McCain on tax cuts

2008-09-14T22:01:00.000-07:00

This is a basic question that affects everyone: how will my taxes change under Obama or McCain?

Thanks to the independent, non-partisan Tax Policy Center, we have the numbers. I've put that info together into a very basic but much needed flyer:

3 points about John McCain

2008-09-08T23:14:00.000-07:00

Inspired by posters from The Huffington Post from over a year ago, I've created a flyer/poster that concisely expresses the failures of the Republican party, George Bush, John McCain, and Dick Cheney over the last 8 years in a single sheet, and highlights the three main reasons for which they should not be given another 4 years: "Getting Nothing Done. Tearing America Apart. Lying To The Public."

Flyer #5: This flyer presents in a blunt and visceral way the failures of the last 8 years of Republican rule.

John McCain's Confused Iraq Timeline

2008-08-10T15:23:00.000-07:00

John McCain is confused on Iraq, and has been for some time. From his speech in 2002, before the war, to just last week, his statements and comments have been divorced from reality.

Flyer #4: This flyer presents several statements McCain has made over the last 5 years regarding when he thought the Iraq war should or would come to an end - statements that are confused and self-contradictory.

John McCain and Barack Obama on Iraq in 2002

2008-08-10T14:24:00.000-07:00

Before the Iraq war started, on October 2, 2002, both John McCain and Barack Obama gave speeches laying out their views on the possibility of war with Iraq.

The differences between these two candidates, and how correct their judgments have been, are obvious from these speeches. Flyer #1 is a combo flyer that has both McCain's and Obama's 2002 Iraq speeches. Flyer #2 is McCain's speech by itself, and Flyer #3 is Obama's speech by itself.

Flyer #1: John McCain's speech on Iraq from 2002 back to back with Barack Obama's speech from the same day. Download the flyer here. (This flyer is double-sided - check out directions on printing double-sided here.)

Flyer #2: John McCain's 2002 Iraq speech. Download the flyer here.

Flyer #3: Barack Obama's 2002 Iraq speech. Download the flyer here.

All these flyers are in PDF format and can be viewed using Adobe Reader.
