The backers of the Yes on Proposition 23 campaign<\/a> in California have plenty of reasons to be embarrassed:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Their key talking points are based on lies<\/a>.
\n
\u00b7 An overwhelming majority of their funding comes from oil and coal companies<\/a>.
\n
\u00b7 Some of their key organizers are actually proud to be funded<\/a> by out-of-state oil companies.
\n
\u00b7 Their advertisements are designed to mislead<\/a> Californians.<\/p>\n

Even more embarrassing is the fact that their entire campaign is based on a falsehood. While the Yes on 23<\/a> campaign claims that the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 is harmful to the economy, they’ve got it completely backward: clean energy solutions that help solve the climate crisis are actually beneficial to California’s economy. To help them out, the Climate Protection Action Fund has developed some new websites the Yes on Prop 23<\/a> campaign may want to consider directing their supporters to:<\/p>\n
