So far, your calls and emails to at-risk Republicans have held off placing the most massive continuation of tax hikes upon families in state history on California’s ballot. But now, I’m asking you to call and email again. Because the Democrat legislative leaders are trying to push through a tax-hike deal this weekend or Monday.

SaveCalifornia.com is urging you to call Republicans right now. Because if GOP state legislators are united in their opposition to place tax increases on the ballot, tax hikes can’t and won’t happen. The Democrat state legislators, who are hopeless tax-and-spend addicts, won’t get their way unless two Republicans in the Assembly and two in the Senate sell out and support Jerry Brown’s tax scheme.

Why is placing a continuation of massive tax increases on the ballot is a huge risk? As the last statewide election demonstrated, California contains more voters who are Democrats,  who just don’t understand why higher taxes on families’ purchases, income, and motor vehicles are harmful. Especially when most of the messages on TV, radio, newspapers, and mailers will be frighten-you-silly lies sponsored by the wealthy, self-centered government unions. Don’t let this happen.

Have you felt financially squeezed lately? In February 2009, California families’ taxes went up nearly $1,000 a year for two years. Meanwhile, gas prices rose from under $2 per gallon in early 2009 to nearly $4 today. And now, the $12 BILLION tax hike that Jerry Brown and the Democrats want on the ballot would cost the average family another $1,000. Because of California’s wasteful state government, and a White House and Congress that won’t allow sufficient drilling of oil in American land and sea, you ARE being squeezed — majorly.

I am especially concerned how this financial oppression is harming family time between spouses and with their children, tempting husbands and wives into money squabbles and divorce, deceiving people of faith to stop giving to God, and causing worried parents to remove their children from Christian schools.
