California Republican Party Joins Working Californians And Taxpayer Advocates To Demand Action From Democrat Leaders On The State Budget

 

SACRAMENTO - Citing the continued inaction by Democrat legislative leaders in adopting budget solutions without more taxes - punctuated this week by Assembly Speaker Karen Bass' "boycott" of budget negotiations - the California Republican Party announced it will join with working Californians and taxpayer advocates, including Lew Uhler of the National Tax Limitation Committee and radio personality Mark Williams, at the capitol today to demand action from Speaker Bass and Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.

 

Taxpayers will gather at the state capitol offices of Bass and Steinberg to demand they join Governor Schwarzenegger and Republican legislators in crafting a complete solution to fixing the state budget that does not raise taxes.

 

Attendees will wear purple-colored t-shirts, commonly worn by public employee unions in their capitol demonstrations, in the hopes that Democrats will pay attention to voters and taxpayers, not just union and labor activists.

 

WHO:  Working Californians, Taxpayer Advocates including

           the National Tax Limitation Committee, and radio personality Mark Williams

 

WHERE:  State Capitol Offices of Speaker Karen Bass and Pro Tem Steinberg

 

WHEN:  12:30 PM

 

CONTACT:  Kevin Roberts, California Republican Party Communications

This was just put together in a hurry so it's kind of late, but hopefully some FR people in the Sacto area can show up and take part.

The purpose is to let the politicians in Sacramento know that the people want the budget fixed without RAISING TAXES.

Conservative radio personality Mark Williams has been working with Move America Forward and the the OurCountryPac (and Free Republic!) for some time now and will be there.

He was at the first Sacramento Tea Party organized by Free Republic back in February of this year.
