We have just one week to beat the insurance billionaires trying to buy this election. <\/p>\n

We plastered these posters around the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles to expose these deceptive billionaire propositions. Can you help us make sure more voters know?<\/p>\n

Please post our new posters on Facebook today<\/b><\/a>. Don’t use Facebook? Share the posters directly from our website here<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our grassroots campaign against Prop 33 has just a few hundred thousand dollars to compete with the $16.4 million spent by insurance billionaire George Joseph, chairman of Mercury Insurance. <\/p>\n

\"Photobucket\"\/<\/a>And last week, Charlie Munger Jr., the heir to the Berkshire Hathaway fortune including GEICO Insurance, sank another $13 million – for a total $35 million – into the campaign for Prop 32. <\/p>\n

Prop 32 will take away workers’ voices in Sacramento but preserve the power of big corporations and wealthy individuals – like Munger and Joseph – to spend unlimited amounts in elections. Prop 33 will deregulate auto insurance and allow insurance companies to raise rates on good drivers just because they decide to stop driving for awhile. <\/p>\n

We’ve got just 7 days left to expose these billionaires and stop them from buying the election.<\/p>\n

Please share our posters on Facebook<\/b><\/a>, or find the posters on our website and email your friends<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your voice can beat the money spent by these insurance billionaires, but only if you help us spread the word. Tell your friends to vote No on Props 32 and 33 today<\/b><\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
