For several weeks I have been hearing political spots on KMJ Radio warning people to oppose Proposition 32. I’ve never heard such lies. They talk about Proposition 32 only benefiting big oil and big corporations. There they go again with their divide and conquer tactics. Do you know who’s paying for these radio spots? The unions. The unions are spending over $50 million trying to fool voters into opposing Proposition 32.
By talking about big oil and big corporations, they think they can take your mind off of the real reason to support Proposition 32. The real reason is Proposition 32 would prohibit unions from taking a portion of their members’ money and using it for political purposes without permission, which is how they get their political power.
The result, if Proposition 32 passes, would be that union members would be able to keep a portion of those monies due them and would be able to support the candidate or political party of their choice.
This is the main purpose of Proposition 32. Don’t just take my word for it, check out your sample ballot on Proposition 32, and if you read the first sentence, it states, “Prohibits unions from using payroll deducted funds for political purposes.”
Doesn’t it seem odd that in all of those expensive union ads I have not even once heard that portion mentioned? Just the lies about big oil and big corporations.
Do not continue to be fooled by unionism, socialism and communism tactics. They are designed to making everyone equal. Of course the equal is at the lowest level.
Show the unions with all their big money that they haven’t fooled everyone.
Vote yes on Proposition 32.

Prop's, 30, 38, "39"!
Dear Mr Thomas D. Elias:
Response to your artical of Nov./03/2012
Get the Madera Tribune delivered ans read pretty much everything each day and much more on the web.
That being said I believe that you may be well off to give a little voice to Prop Thirty-nine (39) Which three members of my family have voted for. Prop thirty nine is in my humble opinion much better to both the state and the people of California than either Thirty (30) or Thirty-eight (38). Prop Thirty-nine stops business that do business here in California from taking monies from this state without first paying Taxes due in the production of income here in California. Even though they may have a Corporate Headquarters set up in another state in order to avoid the paying of taxes here in the state where they have earned their income. California is the worlds 9th largest Economy. That said we have a whole lot of leverage in that if they wish to partake of the opportunity to earn profit here then it should be accepted that they also contribute to the tax structure here in this state of California. In short in they wish to sell to the 9th largest world Economy then pay the state tax due for the privilege of doing business here or get out. I assure you that there will be many other companies that would be more than willing to for instance take over for "Wall Mart or Sam's Club" as example. Prop thirty-nine will make much needed money to be used for the purpose of further funding of our schools and in creating more jobs through road repairs and other state infrastructure and buildings. That in turn will create much needed spending here in our local economy. Every dollar kept here through taxes due this state will generate at least seven times that same dollars before leaving this state.
We do not need prop 30 nor do we need prop 38 at the expense of the work and toil of the states working people.
It would make much more sense to have the tax actually due here to be collected from those organizations that see their way clear to use tax loop holes to avoid paying that tax which is rightfully due this state. Further in my opinion Jerry Brown, has in some way be getting paid under the table for not advancing proposition thirty-nine over all others. It is in the best interest of the state of California to promote and to pass proposition thirty-nine (39).
