then I heard this ad and I had to see who was supporting it. I'd almost forgotten about Tom.

I noticed that the Prop 50 ads I've been seeing were paid for by the CTA (CA Teachers Association). The reason I remember this is due to the fact that this was MY union as a teacher.

"The CTA Issues PAC has contributed $3 million to the campaign supporting Proposition 50.
Other major labor unions, including the California Nurses Association, have also contributed substantial funds to the effort."
