SA Members - Stop the New Food Tax

That's great that you got a response. I contact my Senators on all the issues that concern me. I just sent them e-mails concerning cap and trade. I think we need to do what we can to let our representatives know how we feel.

I know. But at least it looks like they had to "form" this particular letter to address
the new tax emails. So at least his intern is aware of this ... :laughing:

So, you already know how it works. We're actually friends with Lieberman's gopher although not a fan of his views or Lieberman. The guy is always getting mugged and has to carry two cell phones with him, because he either loses them or someone mugs him and steals it. Yes, we're in good hands! :laughing:
 
There are only like 23K signed petitions, I was hoping our SA membership can bump this up. We have to let congress know that this is not the time to create new taxes. New jobs we need.

Please visit the site below and send a strong message to Congress to stop this new Food/Soda tax. Very short petition ( takes 1 minute ). You'll thank me later..

I see it's posted on another sweeps site and naturally the first response is from a mod HMMMM.

I'll go bump it on the site I placed it at.
 
That's a Different number than on their site. Maybe they are counting write-ins as well.

I'm guessing that the number given on their site are from those who used "Sign up to support Americans Against Food Taxes by clicking here". The rest are probably coming from their online form, "Write your legislator and tell them you don't want more taxes by clicking here".
 
Just wanted to say that my views expressed in this topic "do not " represent SA as a whole and are only my opinion on this new tax matter. If you want a new food/soda tax that sponsors new gov health care that's your right. Its your money.

When people talk about politics it can often be spirited and I hope at the very least we can Agree to Disagree.

Thank You,

-Ken
 
I must say the same thing as Ken. When it comes to my political opinions they are just that , my opinions and everyone has a right to their own. What would be enjoyable is to discuss matters such as politics like adults. We can try and sort out our differences and yet still see someones side on the issues.

I come to SA for sweeping but a little conversation on the side can be enjoyable.
 
Americans Against Food Taxes is a coalition of major restaurant chains, food and soft drink manufacturers and their associated lobbying groups organized by the American Beverage Association to fight a proposed three to ten cent tax on soda, sugary drinks and energy drinks to help fund health care reform in the United States.

It's Web site states that Americans Against Food Taxes is a "coalition of concerned citizens – responsible individuals, financially strapped families, small and large businesses in communities across the country" who opposed a government-proposed tax on food and beverages, including soda, juice drinks, and flavored milks. But its extensive membership consists mainly of lobbying groups for packaged food and soda companies, chain restaurant corporations and the world's large food and soft drink manufacturers and distributors, including the Coca-Cola Sweepstakes Company, Dr. Pepper-Royal Crown Bottling Co., PepsiCo, Canada Dry Bottling Co. of New York, the Can Manufacturers Institute, 7-Eleven Convenience Stores, and Yum! Brands. "


I'm not saying I'm for or against things just bringing to light who is behind the site.
