Massachusetts Teachers Union Secretly Launches Campaign to Sabotage and Block Petitioning For Our Ballot Initiative to Roll Back the Sales Tax from 6.25% to 3%

Here is the first unedited, complete email that the Massachusetts Teachers Union is sending to their activists:

"From: Blum, Joanne S. JBlum@massteacher.org
Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 5:00 PM

"Subject: HELP NEEDED - To Protect State Revenues A Threat to Our Communities

"A small group of individuals are threatening to jeopardize Massachusetts working families by seeking to qualify a number of initiative petitions.

"One these would reduce the sales tax which would cut state revenues by approximately $2.5 billion.

"This would result in cuts in our communities to education, health care, public safety and other programs that we all depend on every day. If you see or have seen any petitioners carrying this or other petitions in your community, please call
"THE PETITION HOTLINE
"508-556-0796

"We need your help in being able to track what's really being circulated and where these petitions are being circulating. Basically, we need your help in being our eyes and ears on the ground in your community.

"Petitioners usually go to grocery stores, libraries, events, and other places that YOU usually frequent. All we're asking you to do is call the PETITION HOTLINE, if you see a petitioner anywhere in public. Again, that number is:
"PETITION HOTLINE: 508-556-0796

"If you receive a voicemail please leave a detailed message including the time, date, and location of where you encountered a petitioner.

"Thank you for your support and remember to think before you ink!

"KEEP the Hotline number with you - 508-556-0796.

This is the first step for the Teachers Unions to mobilize Acorn-style, Union-funded, trained intimidators to disrupt, sabotage, and block our petitioners from collecting signatures to roll back the sales tax. Thanks to Chip Ford of CLT for passing this on from one of their members.
