About the message:

This mailer from Republican super PAC Senate Majority Fund condems Democratic candidate Tammy Story as a liberal who "wants to help push us off .a cliff." It says she would raise taxes, ignoring the fact that only voters may approve tax increases. Story is challenging GOP Sen. Tim Neville in this western Jefferson County Senate seat.
