[Anyone] McCain's Mansions: The Houses That Greed Built

[totem at laplaza.org]

> "Most working families today do not have homes that have anywhere near ten rooms. John McCain 
has ten houses. Many working people in America have to work two and three jobs to provide for 
their families and pay their car loans. John McCain hops on a private jet. Is it any wonder why McCain 
champions a George Bush agenda of cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, helping oil 
companies turn record profits, and leaving working families to fend for themselves? McCain's velvet 
world leaves him utterly unprepared to make the tough choices we need to restore the middle class 
and ensure that everyone in America has quality, affordable health insurance."

> John McCain is soaring to new heights of hypocrisy on his wife's personal jet.  He flies around the 
country bent on duping the public into believing he's "one of them," a regular guy who can 
empathize with Americans facing an overwhelming economic crush.  What's more, he disparages 
those who oppose his ridiculous policy proposals as "elitist."  But who's the real elitist?
> 
> The REAL McCain is a multimillionaire who owns ten luxurious homes.  The REAL McCain backs 
President Bush's tax cuts for big corporations.  The REAL McCain empathizes only with the interests 
of our nation's wealthy minority, not its money-strapped majority.  But far too many are buying into 
McCain's deceit because the corporate press won't present the whole picture, so we created this 
video to educate the public about the REAL McCain.

> Together, you have been a force in making sure The REAL McCain videos have been seen by nearly 
6.5 million people.  But as Frank Rich noted in his NY Times column yesterday, 40% of Americans 
hear too little about McCain from the mainstream media, meaning "the public doesn't know who on 
earth John McCain is."  That's why it's crucial you ensure this video is seen by as many as possible, 
and that we use each and every tool at our disposal to get the word out.  Send this on to five friends 
and family members, and tell them to send it to five people they know.  Get it to your local news 
outlets and blogs and networking sites like Digg.  Raise hell about McCain's economic duplicity!

> AFL-CIO President John Sweeney summed it up best when he said McCain "simply doesn't 
understand the challenges America's working families are facing because he isn't remotely affected 
by them."  It's up to us to tell people who McCain really is, a jet-setting elitist more concerned with 
corporate lobbyists than hard-working Americans.
