Fight Back Against Stealth Elections

http://www.retakeourgov.com

As an advocate for maximizing citizen involvement in government, RetakeOurGov supports holding votes for property tax millages during the November general election. Voter turnout during a November election is far greater than at other times of the year, especially during even number years. Voter turnout during an off month, such as February or May can be in the range of 15-25%, while voter turnout during November is generally two to three times greater (50-75%)

If a governmental unit believes it is in the community’s best interest to move forward with a property tax vote, we strongly recommend that this vote be scheduled for November in an even numbered year, when voter turnout is the greatest. Scheduling the vote at any other time of year limits citizen participation and disenfranchises voters.

If you agree that millage elections should be held in November then please consider supporting our efforts to fight back against local elected officials who ignore our reasonable request and continue to schedule "stealth" elections. Your contribution of $10 or $20 or even more provides funding to battle against big government officials right in our backyard.

Your contribution to this campaign will be used exclusively for battling against property tax votes that ARE NOT scheduled during November of even-numbered years. Think of your contribution as "insurance" against a future property tax increase enacted by a stealth election with a voter turnout of as low as 15%. This "insurance" fund provides monies necessary to increase voter turnout to defeat these tax increases. Your generous contribution allows us to purchase yard signs, distribute flyers, and make robo-calls to inform the electorate of the upcoming stealth election.

With your support we will defeat stealth elections. Elected officials will soon realize that they must hold elections in November of even numbered years or their millage increase will go down to certain defeat.

Your $20 contribution will go a long ways toward defeating millage proposals which could raise your property taxes by $100, $200, or even more.

Thank you
