Petition Drive - volunteers needed
LAKEWOOD GROCERY TAX ELIMINATION

Looking for limited-government, low-tax advocates to get Lakewood registered voter signatures to eliminate the sales tax on groceries. If you work in Lakewood or own a business, this is another great way to get signatures. You don't have to live in Lakewood to circulate the petition.

Going door to door is very successful and it's refreshing to hear over and over "I'll sign, anything for lower taxes. Thanks for doing what you're doing."'

We're holding petition drives in neighborhoods and at grocery stores. The goal is 10,000 signatures by June 15th. 200 people getting 50 signatures each, gets this on the November ballot.

If you'd like to help, contact:
Natalie Menten 303-980-8834 or 303-489-2895,
Charley Able 303-233-7275
or email NOgrocerytax@wmconnect.com
A petition can be mailed or delivered to you.

I don't understand why this is only an issue for the Norquististas!

Perhaps you don't want to frame the issue as a tax which is especially onerous to the poor and the elderly! A tax on food is comparable to a tax on the air we breathe. You shouldn't tax that which is necessary to continuation of life. It isn't just about small government and lower taxes.

If you decide it is also a matter of morality and compassion, I'd be willing to help. But, not when you make it about Grover Norquist.

Let me know if you are able to see it as merely the right thing to do.

I would feel better about this if it proposed a method of balancing this out. Does another tax replace it? What spending gets cut?
