** *Tell 'Em it's a Tax Hike *
*from Tim Phillips Americans for Prosperity* <[email protected]> Right now Congress is debating the largest tax hike in history. It’s up to you and me to stop it. And we only have one shot. The big-government politicians and special interests might call it “Cap and Trade” and frame it as a market-based “global warming solution.” But you and I know better. Amazingly, so does liberal activist group MoveOn.org, and they admit so in an illuminating email to their members: “If Republicans convince voters that clean energy legislation amounts to a new tax, Obama’s plan is toast.” I wouldn’t count on the Republicans to achieve this; but the 500,000 members of Americans for Prosperity sure can -- and we’ll make sure to turn up the heat on members of both parties to oppose this hidden energy tax. I’m writing you today to ask your help in doing just that. Between now and Friday, we are running radio ads and holding taxpayer protest events with our seven-story tall hot air balloon in five key Senate states that will make all the difference when this devastating tax comes to a vote. If we can raise $100,000 by this Friday, we can make sure -- through radio ads, telephone calls, and old-fashioned door-to-door canvassing -- that we continue to draw crowds of fired up grassroots activists. Energetic citizens -- like the folks joining us for our Hot Air Tour launch in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia -- will send a strong message to Congress: NO NEW ENERGY TAXES. Please visit our website to contribute: http://americansforprosperity.org/042909-help-stop-energy-tax-today Can you make this possible with a special contribution of $25, $50 or more today? Of course, any amount you could give would be tremendously helpful in beating this job-killing energy tax. There’s no time to waste -- the first votes on this scheme are expected this week. You can help us defeat “Cap and Trade” with a special contribution of $25 or more today. Thanks for all you do on behalf of free enterprise. Tim Phillips President, Americans for Prosperity P.S. - This morning, we launched the first leg of our Hot Air Tour in South Bend, IN, where our activists poured calls into U.S. Senator Evan Bayh’s office urging a “No” vote on Cap and Trade. Next stop: the Detroit suburbs this evening! Help us keep the pressure on politicians with your contribution of $25 or more today. ------------------------------ ** **Shout Out ** ** *All Tea Party organizers are asked to send their plans (when where, etc) to this addy with "TP" in the subject to be further posted to others on the Internet.* ** *Slick eZine is an announcement list. * *Send replies & comments to this list and **[email protected]*<[email protected]> ------------------------------ *I'M MAD, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are welcome to join the [email protected] * Rich Martin * ** *.* -- This is the incredibly uncreditable election.
