True North

#1 in total tax burden that is.

DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!

The DFL House is going to try to override the veto today, and they are boasting that they have the votes. Unfortunately Gov. Pawlenty has felt it more important to be in Washington rubbing elbows, rather than back home twisting Republican arms to sustain his veto. He left the heavy burden of holding Republicans accountable to the grassroots activists this weekend, and we did just that. But unfortunately, Tinglestad, Erhardt, Hamilton, Peterson, & Heidgerken are back in the midst of liberal tax and spend special interests and corrupt DFLers.

We have just a few hours to right the wrong that is the Transit tax bill. I still haven't met one single person face to face who supports this bill. Granted I haven't seen any DFL elected officials, or wayward (R)s for that matter. Conservative activists triumphed last week and over the weekend, but we haven't made it through the finish line yet. We're on the final turn, and the finish line is in sight. We need to make sure they sustain the veto and block $7 billion in new taxes with out true solutions to our transportation problems.

Call your State Legislators! All of them. And make sure you remind the 6 Republicans who voted for the bill that we will not overlook their votes anymore.

Accountability is not a river in Asia. Stop the massive tax increase and power grab. Tell them to sustain the veto.
