We Did Our Part - Now Tax the Rich!
Governor Rell asked state and municipal employees to make concessions to help out the state in a difficult economic time. And you did! But Governor Rell refuses to increase the income tax even a small amount on earners of over $250,000 per year. Governor Rell currently plans to cut many state and municipal services including those for the elderly poor, health care for low income working families, the “birth to three” program (for children with disabilities) and others.
Please email Governor Rell and your state senator and urge them to increase the state income tax on earners over $250,000 and on corporations, rather than to continue to scapegoat public employees, or cut state and municipal programs that benefit our whole society.

Subject: We've done our part - now tax the wealthy!
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
We can't afford any more cuts to state and municipal programs that benefit our whole society.
As public employees, we've done our part.
Now it's time to increase the state income tax on earners over $250,000 and on corporations.
Sincerely,
