Honest Taxation Pledge
It’s the most cowardly way of governing — voting on things when lawmakers are least accountable to the voters. Scott Reeder, The Daily Journal
As part of our Capitol Day tomorrow we will be attempting to collect more legislator signatures on our Honest Taxation Pledge, which asks legislators not to vote for the income tax hike during the lame duck session. Has your legislator signed yet?
Ask your legislator to sign and let us know your results!
Contact Your Legislator About the Income Tax Hike
The best way to make an impact on the lame duck session is to meet personally with your legislator. However, if you can’t make it to Springfield you can still have an impact by calling or sending a message to your legislator.
Find out your elected officials phone numbers here, or send an e-mail message to your legislator. Look up e-mail addresses here.
