This week the Democrat co-chairs of the Ways and Means Committee announced their budget plan.  It includes an $800 million tax increase on the “wealthy”.  In reality the tax is a job killer, a massive increase targeting small and family businesses.  All in a time when Oregon has 12 percent unemployment, the second highest in the nation and still growing.

As FreedomWorks Northwest Director Russ Walker explained to the Oregonian, "This is the shot across the bow," to tax-hiking politicians.  The shot he is referring to of course is the record breaking Tax Day Tea Party protest movement.  Since February, FreedomWorks has been helping hundreds of thousands of citizens all across the country coordinate modern-day “Tea Party” protests.  This Tea Party Tour reached an historic milestone yesterday when media reports estimated that half a million protesters took to the streets on Tax Day, attending over 1,000 events and sending a message loud

FreedomWorks Georgia is following up on our efforts in the Senate runoff election by kicking off our brand new chapters in 2009! Please join us to talk about next steps for our organization, and to share your ideas about how to defend liberty in the age of Obama.

We will be hosting regular meetings throughout the state, and will feature top-notch grassroots political training, as well as conservative speakers. The best way to get involved locally in our organization is to be a part of our local chapters. If you would like to attend a meeting, just let us know!

When FreedomWorks saw that Georgia’s Senate race would be determined with a special run-off election on December 2nd, we immediately jumped at the opportunity to grow the Georgia organization from one chapter in Congressional District 10, to a state-wide network of dedicated leaders and activists.  It was soon apparent that the Saxby Chambliss – Jim Martin race was going to be huge.

FreedomWorks Georgia is leading a massive Get Out the Vote effort in the Senate runoff election between Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin.

We have thousands of voter education materials to distribute across the state. But we need YOUR help to get these materials out to the voters!

If you want to help out with this campaign in any way, please call me at 202-379-6583. I can make sure that you have what you need to make a difference in this election.

The best way to get involved in our campaign is to attend one of the meetings in your area:
