Recall Boot Camp in the News

Friends,

The Michigan Taxpayer Alliance is in the news again.

First, today's Detroit Free Press ran an article about the MTA's "Recall Boot
Camps" that we will be holding next week in Livonia and Lansing. The MTA has
invited national recall experts from Wisconsin's Citizens for Responsible
Government to help train Michigan citizen activists on the art of recalling
public officials who raise taxes. Citizens for Responsible Government has
successfully recalled 15 of the 20 politicians they targeted in Wisconsin.

The Boot Camps are open to any citizen interested who shares the MTA's goal of
no new taxes. They are scheduled for June 25 at the Livonia Best Western hotel
on Six Mile Road just east of I-275 and on June 26 at the Trappers Cove
Apartment complex's community center in Lansing off I-496 Jolly Road exit. Both
start at 7:00pm and will last two hours. Please make every effort to attend!

Also, State Rep. George Cushingberry's 'town hall' meeting at Macomb Community
College yesterday was supposed to be a forum for Rep.Cushingberry to build
support for his 15% state income tax increase bill. Thanks to members of the MI
Taxpayers Alliance, it didn't work out so well for him. Read The Macomb Daily
story here:

Finally, if you read this email in time, tune into WJR 760's Frank Beckmann's
show at 10:30 to hear more news about the MTA Recall Boot Camps.

This figures to be a big week in Lansing. Once again, the House Speaker is
talking about pushing the income tax through the House. Are we, the citizen
taxpayers of Michigan ready to respond?
