Responding to a petition effort to roll back sales tax here in MA, the head of Governmental Affairs for the Teachers Unions sent out this email asking teachers to spy on those of us who want to keep more of our money.. This doesn't seem like something that we should see in America-sending out spies to watch what people are doing.
Here's the email:

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! [emphasis added]
If it's not Linda Douglas setting up Whitehouse.gov or the teachers unions spying us, I'm sick of being treated like a suspect because I don't agree with this administration!
Liberals won't allow us to track emails from Yemen, but they do want to track petitions from patriots who want America back!
