Americans for Job Security has been active in over 98 media markets in 46 states and the District of Columbia. bills itself as a pro-growth, pro-jobs issue advocacu organization aimed at distributing effective, truthful, and persuasive advertisements that affect change in the economic debates?" --NBC A ERICANS FOR AMERICANS FOR JOB SECURITY 107 South West Street PMB 551 Alexandria, Virginia 22514 Telephone Fax Line 703 - 535 3111 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SIDLEY AUSTIN LLP DeMaura000793 EXEMPT FROM PRODUCTION UNDER THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT -HMERICANS AIS Background Information a What is Americans for Job Security AJS is the only independent, bi-partisan, pro-business issue advocacy organization in America. Established in 1997, AJS promotes issues that strengthen the American ECOHOITIY. SECURITY What is issue advocacy? Issue advocacy is a means by which citizens can express their views in the marketplace of public ideas. It allows business leaders and members of the private sector community to take their message directly to the people without the filter of the press, political campaigns or parties. 0 Why is AJS particularly active during campaign season? Quite frankly, campaign season is when the majority of Americans are debating and focused on public policy. In addition, since the media and public officials only focus on media markets where there are hotly contested political campaigns, we select the media markets we advertise in accordingly. 0 Who are your members? AJS does not disclose or discuss its membership. Too often politicians or the media define an organization or message not by the merits of the argument, but rather by the perception of the people associated with it. We would rather the people decide on merits instead of name--ca|ling. Why now? In the face of continuing efforts to influence public opinion by anti-business interests, pro-market advocates need to be heard. AJS provides the best and most effective venue for the business community to inform the public on economic issues with a pro-market, pro-paycheck message. - What is the tax status of AJS has been organized as a 501(c)(6) business league. Under the law, this type of organization is designed to promote the "common business interests" of its members.

As taxes swelled and the unchecked and unaccountable government grew, businesses and families found new homes elsewhere and the economy crumbled. Califomia afford to neglect making real reforms that eliminate the wasteful government spending, end the special interest handouts, and purge the fraud and abuse that is prevalent throughout the state and municipal governments. It is time to take California and the state's budget back! Before taxpayers become liable for more government spending, Californians deserve to know what they're getting. That requires an independent audit of the state budget before Sacramento ever raises taxes. An independent audit of the state budget is a important first step in ridding the state govemment of waste, fraud and abuse and it's necessary before Sacramento is ever allowed to raise your taxes. You deserve to know. It is time to take Califiturnia and the state's budget back! Call your legislator today. Ask for an independent audit of the state budget before Sacramento is ever allowed to raise your taxes.

Education continues to be cut. A recent study showed that critical transportation systems such as roads and ports will need nearly $540 billion over the next decade for maintenance and improvements, but the state is expected to raise only $240 billion--leaving a gap of nearly $300 billion. (California CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SIDLEY AUSTIN LLP DeMaura001861 EXEMPT FROM PRODUCTION UNDER THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT Transportation Commission, 2011 Statewide Transportation System i 'eeds Assessment, November 201 1) 0 And the state continues to rack up debt to finance its spending. To finance spending expansions originally approved based on one--time FCV enue gains, California ran up a structural budget deficit of $32.7 billion. (California Department of Finance, Multi-Year General Fund Budget Projection, i\I-ay 2012) In 1999, the State Legislature approved a major expansion of government pensions but then chose not to fund the added benefits. As a result, the official deficit for the two largest state pension funds has grown to $135.7 billion. (2011 Annual Reports, and If the government instead was forced to value their pension debt like private businesses are, the state pension debt would instead be S-I70 billion.

Fortunately, we were able to secure the full media buy as outlined in the summary I sent you in my letter of July (I had been concerned with price fluctuations). Our current radio spot is now airing statewide in virtually all California media markets. If you haven't heard the spot yet on the radio, you can listen to it by going to and clicking on the first item under "Hot Topics." That will take you to the web page with our press release and a link to the ad itself. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. My email is jon@hjta.org and my cell phone number is (916) 761-5276.

The schedule and cost of media buys to date; 2. A CD containing two radio ads produced for this effort. (The first we ran for two weeks in June. The second is the one we intend to run in August); 3. Financial statements for 4. HJTA's Form 990 tax returns for 2008, 2009 and 2010; and 5. Other information related to I-IJTA and our tax fighting efforts generally. Also, as requested, this letter will serve as our pledge to ensure that all funds contributed by you to I-IJTA will be expended on the radio advertising as outlined in the media plan attached. Note that advertising costs are rapidly increasing due to multiple political campaigns including the presidential race. We would ask for some flexibility in adjusting the buy as needed. To confirm our understanding, the donation requested by HJTA will be expended on "issue advocacy" which will not specifically mention Proposition 30 or any ollier eleciion mailer.

Califomia's economic recovery is critical to America's overall economic health and as a business membership organization we are concerned that California policy makers are pursuing policies that will hinder future economic growth. In particular, we are concerned that California's high tax rates, over-regulation and litigious environment, left unchecked, will continue to hurtjob creation and stall California's economic recovery. We are planning a significant effort to highlight these issues, and can assure you that your membership resources will be well spent on an extensive electronic media program. We have set aside resources to cover all of our related administrative, research, legal and production expenses, so future membership resources can be solely dedicated to the enclosed and preliminary media schedule Please note this schedule includes the US. Chamber of Commerce, and we expect to move the entire schedule back as the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association issue advocacy radio advertisements will broadcast first in August. Also, we expect this preliminary media schedule to change as we complete two significant surveys: first, a 3,000 sample targeting survey which will help us identify and target key swing Califomians, and second, a language survey which will help finalize the language used in our preliminary television spots. We will be happy to share the revised schedule once it is refined. Four preliminary commercials are enclosed along with the dial testing conducted by Luntz Research. These include: Comeback 30, Comeback 60, Small Business, and Shell Game We expect the final spots to be very close to these tested versions. Please note that the Small Business spot is an animatic and the final spot will have small business people speaking to camera and should be even more effective than the version used for the market test. Finally, enclosed are 990 Federal tax forms for the past three years and a financial statement for your review. Please let us know if you have additional questions or need more information. Sincerely, Stephen CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SIDLEY AUSTIN LLP DeMaura002912 EXEMPT FROM PRODUCTION UNDER THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT 703-535-3 l0 August 21, 2012 Dear Mr. -- Thank you very much for your recent $800,000 membership in Americans for Job Security. Your support will allow us to air our television advertising at a critical time this fall. As per our commitment, your generous support is being fully applied towards our California issue advocacy campaign. Our effort will highlight the high taxes, waste, fraud and abuse in California and the need for serious reforms to the system. As we promised, once our television media buy is placed we will send it along with the corresponding advertisement to you.
