Sign the NO GAS TAX Hike in NJ
http://www.nogastaxhike.com/ Pass it on. Thanks.
Dear fellow overtaxed New Jerseyan:
Thank you for taking the time to sign the
http://www.nogastaxhike.com petition against the gasoline tax increase. The response to this petition -- over 2300 signatures in the first 24 hours -- has been overwhelming and encouraging. Now let's keep going...
Here are five things you can do in the next 24 hours to keep the pressure on to stop this tax increase.
1) Call Governor McGreevey's office at 609-292-6000. Tell them that you already pay enough taxes and that it is time to cut spending and end the practice of selling bonds to pay current expenses.
2) Write a letter to your favorite newspaper. There's lots of information on the website to help you with your letter. A mostly complete list of New Jersey newspapers is available at
http://www.usnpl.com/njnews.html. Make sure you mention
http://www.nogastaxhike.com in your letter.
3) Call in to your favorite radio talk show to spur debate on this subject and be sure to mention www.nogastaxhike.com
4) The Asbury Park Press is running a campaign against the gasoline tax. You can voice your opinion to them as well by sending an email to
nogastax@app.com 5) Send this email to your friends, relatives and co-workers to multiply the effect of your own personal action.
I did a number of radio and newspaper interviews today and your action is already having a result. The media and our state legislators are following this issue closely. You and I now have the job of keeping the pressure on for the next seven weeks while the "Lame Duck" legislature is in session. I'll be in touch with you on a regular basis to keep you informed about the latest on this outrageous tax increase scheme.
I am convinced that if everyone sticks together that this tax will be stopped. Your response in the first 24 hours has encouraged me even more. But this battle is just beginning. The big banks, bond salesmen and lawyers who stand to make millions from this tax increase are a force to be reckoned with. Only through constant pressure can they be defeated. But through constant pressure, they WILL be defeated.
Thanks again for your help. Let's make Friday, November 21st a day the Trenton Taxers will never forget. On to victory!
