If you wish to car pool to the State House (11 South Union Street), meet at Verizon Wireless (off of I-65) in the parking lot closest to I-65 departing at 7:30 am sharp.

If you cannot travel to Montgomery, please contact the following "GOP" Senators in favor of this tax increase:
Jabo Waggoner (334) 242-7892
Cam Ward ( 334) 242-7873

I need to know how many people can got to Montgomery on June 9 to support Senator Scott Beason as he fights against HB 650 giving authority to Jefferson County to raise taxes, levies, etc.

Comment by Deanna K. Frankowski on June 6, 2011 at 3:54pm

**ALERT**ALERT**ALERT**

Call Scott Beason (205) 585-4094 and tell him to STAND STRONG and do not let HB650 come to the floor.  Senator Beason can make this bill go away but he needs to hear from you that you support him and are standing strong with him!!!!

**ALERT ** ALERT ** ALERT ** ALERT**
HB650 is scheduled for a vote on June 9. It will "provide limited authority for the county commission . . . to levy, assess, and collect in Jefferson County taxes. . ." Once again we have so called Conservatives voting with the liberals. CALL YOUR JEFFERSON COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES!!

Wait, wait.

Reid voted "no" which means he can move to reconsider (ie vote again), perhaps as early as tomorrow. I have heard he is planning to amend an agriculturally-giveaway bill to it and bring up again Thursday.

This is NOT NOT NOT over. More info to follow.

6 SENATORS RIDING THE FENCE (LISTED BELOW), THE USUAL RINOS INCLUDED

PLEASE SEND TO YOUR CONTACTS



The Democrats are running scared, fearful of the impact grassroots activists will have in November. With the DISCLOSE Act, which will go into effect almost immediately, in time for the November elections, they will be able to effectively and legally shut us down. The effort to silence us before the elections is tantamount to a witch hunt. Read this email carefully for more information about this bill and then please make some phone calls NOW and tell them to VOTE NO!!



From our friends at Freedom Action about this speech violating bill:

Even if somehow the speech restrictions in this bill were constitutional, their uneven application would be a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection under the law. Even the left-leaning Sierra Club has labeled the DISCLOSE Act a two-tiered system that is “unfair and undemocratic” and that smaller grass-roots organizations would be disadvantaged because they lack the resources to cope with “the additional disclosure burdens.” The unions and the big non-profit groups get to keep their free speech given to them in the January Supreme Court decision, but the corporations and small non-profits lose theirs under DISCLOSE.



Also, President Obama and some Democrats are dishonestly stating that the Court’s decision would “open the floodgates for special interest, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections.” However, current federal law and Federal Election Commission regulations already ban foreign corporations from participating directly or indirectly in American elections. (see 2 U.S.C. § 441e and 2 U.S.C. 437g).



HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU

Exampleville, Ohio has two people running for U.S. Congress-Mr. A and Mr. B-in what promises to be a close race. Exampleville’s local Tea Party believes in Mr. B. The Tea Party wants to run ads highlighting Mr. B’s stance on cap and trade, federal spending, increased taxation, etc, but they don’t have enough money to fulfill the new highly complex reporting requirements from DISCLOSE. And DISCLOSE would force them to list their top donors, even if they are not necessarily the specific donors to the ads, in their ads. Besides, the disclaimers required could take up to 14 of a 30 second ad. The Tea Party gives up trying to run ads to support Mr. Republican.

In contrast, Mr. A has some well-funded unions who want to see Exampleville’s factories unionized, so the unions run ads against Mr. B and ads for Mr. A. Also, the Sierra Club and the ACLU (groups actually opposed to DISCLOSE) want Mr. A to support their issues, so they also run ads for Mr. A. None of these ads are subject to DISCLOSE’s requirements. Guess who wins?



The DISCLOSE Act exempts unions and very large special interest groups!! And the little guy is left without a voice.

From Ella Mae
"Well, I have called all 16. I tried to find out how folks stood and the only one that said something other than they wanted to read the text of the bill was John Tanner (TN)- said he had voted No in November, but didn't commit to anything else. The majority said they didn't know until final bill was seen and read.

I never got through to Michael McMahon and John Boccieri - always busy. Then, Lincoln Davis, Harry Teague, and Scott Murphy - was busy, but when free, got voice mail that said box was full. Lincoln Davis' office is closed".

Comment by Juanita T. Durham on January 22, 2010 at 12:14am

Just want to encourage everyone to continue their letter writing, emailing, phoning, twittering, etc. The Republican victory in Massachusetts is proof that these things work--I bet almost all of you did at least one of these things and more in support of Scott Brown. And on a personal note, I emailed Greta on Fox News after her show Tuesday night. And I actually got a personal response!! This goes to show that what we do is not in vain and that all our emails do not just disappear into a dark hole somewhere in cyberspace. Keep up the good work! We have just begun to fight. In God We Trust. Nita
