TEP has been exploiting… Tucson for many long years.

The money we’ve sent their investors shouldbring us all to tears!

We’d-a saved a fortune… if we’d kept our money here!

 

If we owned our own power comp‘ny… like Tucson wa-ater now,

all of our hard-earned money…. would stay right here in town.

And we’d be leavin’… those fossil fuels in the ground.

 

TEP really hates solar… ’cause it will not raise their profit,

although it would greatly lower… the monthly bills we git.

TEP loves its investors….. but its consumers?….. Not a bit!

 

The ACC’s s’posed to protect us… from all of the exploitation

that TEP and all mo-no-po-ly u-til-i-ties have done

to their ratepayers. But it won’t stop those sons-of- guns!

 

Instead, the ACC ‘s in bed with… TEP and its coharts.

That sends the profits we must pay…. soaring off the charts!

Just gettin’ Public Power… will rid us of all of these farts!

 

Tell the Mayor and Council... we want Public Power to be

on the ballot this fallaskin’ you and me

if we want Public Power to repla-ace TEP!

 

Until we get Public Power…. vote only for those ACC

candidates who refusecorp’rate and PAC money,

those pledged to vote no-o… on rate hikes fo-or TEP!

  

REPLACE TEP & THE ACC WITH PUBLIC POWER FOR TUCSON!
