This time he wants to >almost double the state sales tax on car purchases! > >Not to be outdone, certain state legislators are calling for a hike in the >state gas tax. While some of those same politicians are suggesting that >boosting taxes for everybody would create room for repealing those hated >"abusive driver fees," this is just big-government bluster. > >Instead of picking our pockets for more revenues, state leaders should repeal >the abusive driver fees and then protect the transportation trust fund from >budget raids for unrelated projects. Join us in saying NO to new taxes! > >When you click this link, the page will automatically send a message to your >state Delegate and Senator: > > <http://ga1.org/campaign/kaine_car_tax08/ik7xnxkrzwt6kbk?>Click here > to take action > >Below is the sample letter: > >****************************************************************** > >Subject: Please Reject Any Attempt to Raise Taxes > >Dear [legislator's name automatically inserted here], > >I urge you to oppose any plan that would raise Virginia's taxes, especially >the car sales tax or the gas tax. > >I agree that the abusive driver fees and un-elected regional taxing >authorities created in 2007 were not good ideas. However, we don't want them >replaced with higher taxes elsewhere. The state's budget has doubled in the >past 10 years, and we were forced to swallow a $1 billion tax increase in >2004. Now is not the time to hit Virginians with bigger tax bills. > >If our leaders want to spend more on transportation projects, they should look >at their own budget habits, and not at our wallets. Making better use of >existing spending or protecting the Commonwealth Transportation Fund from >raids are both good alternatives to tax hikes. > >Please don't increase our tax burden. > >Sincerely, > >(your name will be placed here) > >****************************************************************** > >Take Action! > >Instructions: > > > <http://ga1.org/campaign/kaine_car_tax08/ik7xnxkrzwt6kbk?>Click<http://ga1.org/campaign/kaine_car_tax08/ik7xnxkrzwt6kbk?> > here to take action on this issue. -- end -- ############################################################# Have an announcement you'd like to post?
