Fiber For Our Future

What does it say to you when 2 megacorps spend big money to send out full color,
double-sided mailers to EVERY home in 3 zip codes?
That they're concerned about YOUR taxes? Hardly.
If Comcast & SBC are willing to go this far to fight a CITIZEN'S group, do you think we're on to something?
Is it really the place of 2 non-local companies to try and influence YOUR vote?
Why do they REALLY want to stop you from voting YES?

Amazing that SBC can try to use the Daily Herald's "YES" endorsement against us.

you'll see 3 FULL PAGE ADS (2 from Comcast, 1 from SBC).

It started out great this morning with Lt.Gov. Pat Quinn's endorsements,
but the day has ended with calls from an Oklahoma call center urging residents to vote NO.
Comcast has accepted the blame.
