Our TV commercials have moved the needle--our numbers are going up.? That's not surprising.? Our commercials reflect our solution-based, non-toxic message that Illinoisans hunger for.



But TV advertising costs are significant.? It costs $25K for two weeks of statewide cable TV.? If we are going to stay on the air, we need YOUR help TODAY. ??



You can keep this advertisement on the air by clicking HERE <[link removed]>.?

Our volunteer to highlight this week is Monroe County Commissioner Vicki Koerber.? Vicki is part of the Republican leadership team that makes Monroe County a great place to live.?

Issue Spotlight:? No Tax on Tax





Did you know that the reason gas is so expensive in Illinois is that you are being taxed on the tax you already pay?? Illinois charges sales tax--not only on motor fuel, but also on the federal, state, and local motor fuel taxes.? So when we buy gas in Illinois we are are paying tax on a tax.



Paying tax on tax is obscene!? There is no greater example of predatory government.? That's why our "New Start for Illinois" proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit the practice of charging tax on tax.? It's not a difficult concept.? Ending predatory government starts with ending predatory practices.?



Semper Fidelis,



Paul
