Jack -- did you see my last email? I hate to say we called it, but gas prices are up AGAIN to a $5.74 per gallon average!
What's worse? California Democrats JUST voted down a motion to suspend the state Gas Excise Tax, which would've given California's struggling families immediate savings of over 51¢ per gallon.
The tax-and-spend Democrats are refusing to provide relief at the pump — and instead telling you to buy a $60,000 Tesla.
BIDEN: "electric vehicles ... you’ll never have to pay at the pump."
Might as well tell us to eat cake, Joe!
But here's what YOU can do to fight back: we can stop these gas taxes with the right candidates in office, and we have half a dozen that need YOUR support TODAY!
Can contribute NOW to elect Republicans that will fight high gas taxes and provide relief for your family?
>> CONTRIBUTE SECURELY: Stop the Gas Taxes
Anything you can chip in will help stop Joe and the Democrats — and roll back these high gas taxes!

Subject: Biden caused $6 gas – and it'll get worse
Date: Thursday, March 10, 2022
Jack: San Diego's average gas price has hit an all time record of $5.60 average. Some stations are charging above $6 per gallon — and it's only getting worse thanks to Joe Biden and the California Democrats.
But Joe is pointing the finger at Russia and hoping you won't notice the Democrats' disasterous record with gas prices (detailed below). Here's what he said this week:
REPORTER: What can you do about skyrocketing gas prices?
BIDEN: "Can't do much right now. Russia's responsible."
>> CONTRIBUTE SECURELY: Tell Joe He's Responsible
Here's exactly how Joe and the California Democrats are responsible for high gas prices:
- Joe Biden closed the Keystone XL Pipeline, severely cutting oil imports from Canada and forcing the U.S. to rely on Russian oil.
- Biden levied new and heavy restrictions on domestic oil producers, making it harder to produce U.S. oil.
- CA Dems supported gas and car tax hikes in 2018 that increased the state’s gas excise tax to a record 51.1 cents – costing the average driver $786 per year!
- CA Dems supported Cap and Trade tax hikes that increased the cost of gas 40-50 cents – costing an extra $416-520 a year for the average driver.
- CA Dems are supporting a NEW hike in the sales tax this year, which already costs you 25 cents per gallon – or $260 a year.
And even worse, Democrats are now supporting a new MILEAGE TAX of 4-6 cents per mile you drive, which will cost the average driver $600 to $900 more per year.
In total, Joe and the Democrats are responsible for charging you $2062 to $2466 PER YEAR IN TAXES just to fill your tank! And Joe wants to make California the model for the nation??
We can fight back against these gas taxes with the right candidates in office, and we've got half a dozen candidates that need YOUR support TODAY!
Can you help us by contributing to elect Republicans that will fight high gas taxes and provide relief for your family?
