The lights are on and the bugs are scattering.

Now we know which Republicans have been meeting with Democrat Governor Jerry Brown on a deal to place Brown’s massive “tax extension” on the June ballot. California’s old-new tax-hiker Governor is looking for just 2 Republicans in the Senate and 2 Republicans in the Assembly to join him and all the tax-and-spend Democrats to accomplish this dirty deed. Today, 5 Republican senators who had met with Brown said they were at a temporary impasse, and Brown said “a few more days” was needed to negotiate a deal.

I have to tell you, in my 17 years of pro-family work in Sacramento, I have consistently seen a handful of Republican sell out year after year and push more oppression on families and hard-working individuals. Remember two years ago? That’s when 6 Republicans joined the Democrats to create a 2/3rds supermajority to impose new taxes on your purchases, your income, and your car, and to significantly reduce the state’s child tax credit for parents. And this, when there are TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ANNUAL WASTE that could and should be eliminated.

TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION

With a vote expected as soon as this Wednesday or Thursday, please drop everything and email and call these 7 at-risk Republican state legislators. Tell them you demand, “No more taxes and fees. Vote NO on placing Jerry Brown’s tax scheme on the ballot!”

If a staffer gives you trouble because you’re not “in our district,” just say “Please give my message to the member (or senator). He is deciding whether to take more money from me and my family!” Also, please forward this alert to your friends via email, Facebook and Twitter to ask them to do their parts. We need a mini-flood of opposition calls and emails in Sacramento, right away.

1. Email a pre-written “no more taxes, fees or borrowing” message to your own state legislators.
