Tell Senate Republicans that all of us support their no-new-taxes position

         On day one of this session, Senate Republicans insisted on a 2/3 legislative vote for any tax increase bill.  They’ve taken a no-new-taxes position for the past 4 months.  They’ve heard from the public that they’ve got the support of 2/3 of the voters for their no-new-taxes position. 

         It’s important that Senate R’s hear again from us that we support them.

          Please everyone – RIGHT NOW – send an email to the 25 members of the Majority Coalition Caucus — cut and paste these email addresses into the To line:

“MCC members, you have the people’s support for not raising taxes.  There’s $3 billion in additional revenue from existing taxes — you are right that that’s more than enough.  Nearly 2/3 of voters at the ballot box have repeatedly made it clear that the people oppose the Legislature raising taxes.  Nearly 2/3 of voters, especially those in legislative swing districts, will support you as long as you stand your ground.  Always remember that Inslee/Democrats/Big Labor/WEA-sponsored judges/the media want higher taxes but they only represent 1/3 of voters.  You represent the supermajority of voters who don’t support tax increases.  Thank you for what you’re doing – we are grateful you are listening to us.”
