So, as you of course know, starting July 1 of this year, utility and housing service rates have gone up again. We’ll be paying more. The quality of services will stay the same or get worse because of the overall deterioration of коммунальные systems (public utility infrastructure). The housing and utilities sector has long been, and remains, one of the country’s main "black holes," sucking up trillions of rubles from the public. The entire state policy in this area boils down to annual statements of "we will not allow unjustified tariff increases," followed by unjustified tariff increases. Just as monopolies used to build into the tariff various investment programs that exist only on paper, they still do. Just as they used to fiddle with asset revaluations, they still do. Just as middlemen used to sit at every revenue-generating point, they still do. Just as we used to pay for football teams, stadium construction, and Mercedes purchases for Gazprom’s “effective managers” in our heating bills, we still do. The Good Machine of Truth cannot pass this by. We invite everyone to take part in the campaign "Help United Russia with its campaigning." Here is a special secret website of the political party "United Russia." United Russia members have prepared a special informational letter for residents across the country. http://er.mashina.org/ Go there. Select your region (at the moment, only 31 regions are available—those where "United Russia" received less than 40% of the vote in the December 4 election). You can also enter your street and even your building number.
2. Click "Create leaflet." 3. Click the doc or pdf button to choose the format in which the leaflet will be downloaded to your desktop. It will look something like this:
4. Share the leaflet on social media.
Every morning and every evening, put this leaflet up in your building entrance, drop it into mailboxes, and generally distribute it anywhere you can. **Were you asking for "offline campaigning for grandmothers on social issues"? ** Well, here it is. We guarantee that after all the residents of your building entrance succumb to your distribution energy, support for the Kremlin crooks among them will drop by another 20 percent. As for me personally, I’m going to carefully post this kind of informational letter in the elevator twice a day for 10 days. I’ll also do one round of putting it in mailboxes. And on the weekend I’ll post it at every entrance of the building. Anyone can do this. As you can see, the letter is made in the familiar and much-loved "notice from the housing office" format, which gives it a +146% bonus to survival on the wall. And if it gets torn down quickly, no matter—we’ll slap up a new one. This campaign has no end date, and the topic is eternally relevant. Before New Year’s, we need to distribute at least a million of these leaflets. And of course we will. The usual request for Good Machine of Truth campaigns: please help spread the link http://er.mashina.org/ wherever you can. Thanks in advance. http://er.mashina.org/ Update. Why the Good Machine of Truth is needed, and why it will continue to work successfully: "***United Russia" cannot shake off the label of the "party of crooks and thieves"—more and more Russians see it that way "*The Levada Center (an independent Russian polling organization) surveyed 1,600 citizens on June 21–26. Sociologists asked respondents whether they agreed or disagreed "with the opinion that ‘United Russia’ is a party of crooks and thieves." 18% said they "definitely agree," and another 24% said they "rather agree," for a total of 42% of those surveyed. *http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/1973567 Update 2. Let me answer everyone once again right away: for now, there are only 31 regions. Collecting tariff data for each region takes time. We’ll add all regions soon. For now, you can generate the leaflet in DOC format and enter the data for your region manually.
