John McCain is lying to America.

But
it's just more of the same. Making windfall corporate profits the law
of the land. Pandering to the religious right. Endless war.

McCain's
latest ingenious policy proposal is his idea to lift the gas tax during
the summer months to supposedly help ease the burden on vacationing
families. McCain's idea is so out of touch that everyone from Paul Krugman to Bush's council of economic advisors thinks it's a horrible idea.

McCain's proposal is not about making life easier for families. McCain's real special interest is big oil. They get huge tax breaks to help them continue to rake in record profits, even as prices soar at the pump.

Democracy for America wants the voters to know the truth. We need to make an impact now while the issue is hot. Our goal: 2,000 donors contributing $50 each to fight back.

DFA
will run a people-powered campaign, using radio ads to target the very
voters McCain hopes to shore up with his gas tax holiday. We will go
after white men and independents, running our aggressive persuasion ads
on drive time sports radio in upcoming primary states.

It is
imperative that we stop McCain from taking us deeper into economic
despair with nonsense proposals designed to pander to a key voting bloc
in an election year.

The time is now. Together we will unmask the McCain myth. Join us today and contribute $50.

This
is only the beginning. The more DFA members take action, the faster we
can escalate the attack. DFA's people-powered campaigns will use
sophisticated micro-targeting to contact voters who are crucial to a
Democratic victory in November.

McCain is appealing to working
and middle class Americans. He wants folks to think he is working for
them. The gas tax holiday is no exception. A recent Reuters article
connects the not-so-subtle dots:

“Economists said that
since refineries cannot increase their supply of gasoline in the space
of a few summer months, lower prices will just boost demand and the benefits will flow to oil companies, not consumers.
“You are just going to push up the price of gas by almost the size of
the tax cut,” said Eric Toder, a senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings
Tax Policy Center in Washington.”¹

Together, we
will make sure America knows who McCain's special interest really is.
