The 2009 Minnesota Tax Cut Rally Saturday May 2, 2009

Just a quick reminder to be sure to attend Saturday’s Tax Cut Rally.  The weather forecast is outstanding — sunny with temperatures in the mid-60s.

As I’m sure you are aware, Minnesota is facing a record $6.4 billion state budget deficit in the next biennium.  We are also in the middle of an economic recession.  But that hasn’t stopped the "tax and spenders" in our state legislature from proposing over $2 billion in new tax increases.  This is on top of the $6 billion increase they passed last year!  Minnesota really needs you and your neighbors to show-up in force on Saturday so that the "tax and spenders" get the message loud and clear — CUT SPENDING and NO NEW TAXES!

These are tough economic times and many Minnesota families are hurting.  That is why we are encouraging you to bring a non-perishable food donation to the rally.  Food donations will be collected by Hope for the City for distribution to metro-area food shelves.  For additional information on directions, parking, schedule and contests, just check the links at the top of this page.  I look forward to seeing you all at the Tax Cut Rally this Saturday.
