I'm concerned
that f-x blaring misinformation about Obama tax plan (250,000 > 150,000> 120,000) having effect; friend at Florida retirement community where I'm visiting Dad said she's heard a number of her friends changing from O to mcC because of this.

1. Your job would be to talk with these people to set them straight.
Do your best.

5. These are 'seniors'
who've established their viewing habits some time ago; many are long-time dems.

AND its hard for them both to change habits AND believe that f-x lies habitually.

I've explained it to my friend, who will vote for O I believe, and I do what I can at this retirement community, but I try not to be too adversarial/[political because I want them to remain friendly with my Dad after I leave here for home, in a couple of weeks.

3. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THEM THE THE TRUTH...
UNDER $250,000 = NO TAX INCREASE (under $200,000 tax cut)

OVER $250,000 = TAX INCREASE (similar to Pres. Clinton's tax policy)
