You Decide

Udecide.org has a series of great "snapshot flyers" that contain talking points on a number of issues including Iraq, Education, and Jobs among others. For example:

LOST JOBS -- A FIRST FOR ANY PRESIDENT IN 60 YEARS We’ve lost nearly a million jobs, making Bush’s administration the only one since the 1930s to lose rather than gain jobs. President Bush promised his 2003 tax cuts would create jobs, but theyhave produced 2.7 million fewer jobs than his administration had predicted – not enough to keep up with new people entering the work force each month.

FULL-TIMERS SETTLE FOR PART-TIME WORK On President Bush’s watch, the number of Americans who say they are working part-time because they can’t find full-time jobs has increased 35%. This is the largest increase for any president on record.

TAX CUTS FAIL TO SPUR ECONOMY Bush’s tax cuts have contributed more to our record-breaking federal deficits than all other new government spending combined, including Iraq and terrorism-related costs.

I think I'm going to print off a half-dozen or so right now and leave them on the printer for my coworkers to find. Check 'em out.
