“Stop the Lies” Campaign

On the front page, cable news and talk radio, public workers are under attack. Enough is enough! AFSCME is fighting back with “Stop the Lies,” an aggressive campaign that will expose right wing lies by using social media, videos, paid advertising and ground events across the nation. The campaign was launched Dec. 1 with the release of a Brave New Films video that contrasts the lies of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck with facts and testimonials from AFSCME members. Public workers have become scapegoats for the far right and we’re not going to sit around and let corporate CEOs define the debate. After all, it was their greed and incompetence that drove the economy into the ditch.
