Fwd: ACTION ALERT: Attack on Proposition 13 Coming Monday

This is VERY important. Please phone or email these committee members before Monday the 27th. I emailed all members of the committee today, but phoning is quicker. This would open the door to many kind of taxes, including our property taxes, by lowering the vote from two-thirds to 55%. Californians don't need any more tax increases. CA has the highest income tax rate, highest state sales tax rate, and highest gas taxes in America. When is Sacto going to get enough money? When we stop them, that's when!
Please help and send around to others you know. Thank you.

ACTION ALERT:
Proposition 13 Attack Coming in Assembly Transportation Committee on Monday
Assemblyman Jim Frazier (D-Solano County) has introduced Assembly Constitutional Amendment 4, the first bill to be heard in 2015 that represents a direct assault on Proposition 13’s two-thirds vote protections!
ACA 4 lowers the vote threshold to 55% to pass new special taxes specifically for transportation projects. Special taxes are a very broad category and could include anything from sales taxes to parcel taxes directly on your property that only you pay!
The result could be billions of dollars of tax increases across California. We’ve already seen how lowering the threshold for school facility bonds to 55% has led to billions of new property taxes for homeowners. The same could occur with ACA 4.
Assembly Constitutional Amendment 4 is up for a hearing in Room 4202 in the State Capitol on Monday, April 27 at 1:30.
Please call members of the Assembly Transportation Committee who are listed below. If you only have time to make one call, we encourage you to call Assemblyman Frazier. Not only is he the author of this bill, he is also the Chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee.
Please tell legislators to vote NO on ACA 4!
