These tax increases would not only break Connecticut’s state-mandated spending cap, but would also raise the income tax a whopping $3.4 billion over five years. FreedomWorks members have taken the fight against these tax hikes to the political parties, legislators and the media. Thanks to those of you who have sent letters to the editor and called the Governor. Please continue to help us battle these tax increases and massive new government programs by using our automated email system to send a message to legislators.

It is time for Gov. Rell and Connecticut lawmakers to learn to live within their means and show a commitment to fiscal discipline. With a current budget surplus the idea of massive new tax hikes is outrageous. When times get tough for hard-working families in Connecticut, they have to cut expenses and pinch pennies. Why shouldn't families expect the same from their state government?

Sincerely,

Dick Armey
Chairman
