Sacramento has a long legacy of defying reality, but now the latest senselessness of the California Legislature is getting downright scary.

Some Democrats and at least one Republican in Sacramento want to raise taxes or say they’re open to raising taxes. This, after California voters sounded rejected an extension of taxes (Prop. 1A) in last month’s special election.

You must email and call in your demands to Sacramento so that no Republicans will cave like before.

And you must call and email the Democrats so they realize their days of taxing and spending are threatened by fed-up California voters.

PLEASE ACT NOW:

1. CALL IN THIS PRIORITY ORDER: DEMAND THAT THEY “CUT TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN WASTE — NO NEW TAXES, FEES OR BORROWING.”

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
(916) 445-2841 (Mon-Fri 9-5 p.m.) | His six other offices

Senate Republican Leader Dennis Hollingsworth of Murietta (916) 651-4036
Assembly Republican Leader Sam Blakeslee of San Luis Obispo (916) 319-2033

The six current Republicans who raised taxes in February:
