Don’t be tricked by SuperPACs’ misleading mailers

As a registered Democrat, I seldom get mail from Republican-sponsored PACs. Yesterday I received three large, bright postcards from the American Action Network describing Bernie Sanders and Helene Schneider as “liberal peas in a pod.” Clearly the intention was for Schneider to pick up votes by riding Bernie’s coattails. Was this done for a love of Helene? No, no, no! It was to deny votes to Salud Carbajal.

Please just laugh at this dirty trick and vote however you intended! Only Democrats received these mailings.
