all over you! However, you can signal loud and clear to your politicians that “enough is enough” when it comes to taxes including:

Gathering Signatures – Creating a petition and having eligible voters sign the petition is one way that you can tell your elected officials that you demand they hold the line on taxes. In some areas an online petition is sufficient while in other areas you will have to go door to door for signatures. Expect to spend plenty of time recruiting volunteers and helpers!

Put it to Vote – In California, citizens are famous for voting on tax relief through propositions that mandate the government cap real estate taxes. If your state does not have such a method of seeking relief, you could pressure lawmakers to put forth a ballot initiative nevertheless. Learn what the requirements are to establish a local response.

Get out the Vote – What a sad state of affairs it is when getting half of the eligible voters out for an election is considered to be a good thing. Encourage everyone you know to vote with their feet by hitting the polling place on Election Day!

Run for Office – If you have a vision to hold taxes in line, then consider running for office yourself. Stay away from special interest groups, instead form a true people’s voice movement to get the support that you need and the mandate necessary to enact change.

Yes, tax relief can be done through the democratic process. Get involved and build a government wide tax relief model that will benefit citizens nationally.
