Watchdog Group Unleashes
No Tax Increase Petition Drive
HARRISBURG— “We the People of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, stand together to demand that our state lawmakers provide NO Representation for Increased Taxation.”
This is the uncompromising message that all Pennsylvania taxpayers can now conveniently deliver to all Pennsylvania state lawmakers courtesy of an all-new online petition drive unveiled at the State Capitol today by State Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler), several House Republican lawmakers and representatives from prominent state and national government watchdog groups.
“Just as we did with the successful repeal of the 2005 state government pay raise, we are returning to the grassroots to drive home the message that state lawmakers must put all Taxpayers First by providing No Representation for Increased Taxation,” said Metcalfe. “Based upon his most recent spend, spend, spend public comments, No Representation for Increased Taxation is a message Governor Rendell is still not receiving.”
Starting today at RepMetcalfe.com, and very soon on various other State Representative web sites, concerned Pennsylvania taxpayers can sign the NO Tax Increase petition electronically or download and print out a hard copy to collect signatures from friends, family members and co-workers.
Offering support at today’s press conference for this grassroots-driven, No Representation for Increased Taxation statewide public awareness campaign were Charlie Gerow, CEO, Quantum Communications; Kevin Shivers, Pennsylvania Director, NFIB; and David Taylor, Executive Director, Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association. This No Tax Increase Petition is also supported by the 17,000 members of National Taxpayers Union and Jim Broussard, Chairman, Citizens Against Higher Taxes.
“Once again, what the governor’s most recent scripted, whining and over-emotional on camera performances confirm is that he is a Spend-A-Holic desperately in need of treatment,” said Metcalfe. “Today, we are here to unveil a tool that any Pennsylvania taxpayer can use to intervene at a time where the governor clearly does not to want to admit that his administration is in fact the economic disaster that is largely responsible for creating our state’s more than $2 billion budget deficit. Today, we are here to provide every Pennsylvania citizen with an easy-to-use tool that could not only save them from even greater economic hardship, in the form of massive tax increases, but a convenient one-stop opportunity to call on every elected Republican and Democrat state lawmaker to put Taxpayers First!”
