Brown Launches Deceptive Attack on McClintock

Calls for McClintock to Vote for Massive Tax Hike

Roseville CA- August 8, 2008- Charlie Brown once again demonstrated his ignorance of the state’s budgetary process-and the tax-fighting nature of the District he seeks to represent in Congress- when he sent a misleading email to “4th District” residents. In that email he said that Tom McClintock and other Republicans “aren’t doing their jobs” because they have opposed a massive, Democrat-inspired tax scheme. In fact, Republican legislators are working night and day to fight this raid on our pocketbooks.

If the GOP legislators had caved last month, as Charlie Brown wished, the new taxes would have totaled some $8.2 billion. By fighting the proposed plan, the Democrats’ latest rejected budget deal would have cost taxpayers $6.6 billion. So those “non-working Republicans” have already saved taxpayers $1.6 billion and are fighting on.
