Don't sign the tax hike petition! We're taxed enough already!

Don’t Be Fooled! Petitioners Will Tell You It’s for Schools – but It’s Really a Tax Increase!

Petition gatherers may tell you their measure is to increase school funding. But simply put, It’s a Tax Increase! California is already a poorly managed state. We have a $15 billion budget deficit - a result of overspending - $500 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, a tax and regulatory climate that drives businesses away, wasteful and ineffective use of our tax dollars and a political system unduly influenced by special interests. We do NOT need higher taxes. Join us by telling everyone you know not to sign Jerry Brown's tax initiative.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Check the Facts

Tax increase proponents have posted paid signature gatherers outside supermarkets, shopping malls and warehouse stores. Prepare your friends and associates to ask questions to fact check their claims. A list of questions is posted here.

You Have a Right to Ask

Paid signature gatherers can make hundreds of dollars in a single day by collecting signatures to raise your taxes. Meanwhile, other initiatives are placed on the ballot with the help of citizen activists who collect petition signatures as volunteers. When someone asks you to sign a petition you have a right to ask if they are paid or a volunteer. We have posted a list of questions for you to ask the signature gatherers when you are solicited by one of these people.
