SUBJECT:Please support LD 1553. We Mainers deserve tax relief!
Good morning, Senator/Representative [name],
I urge you to support LD 1553, “RESOLUTION, Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of Maine to Require a Supermajority of the Legislature to Approve Raising Taxes."
Maine already ranks as the fourth highest taxed state in the country. I think it’s more than fair to ask: Should the people have a say before taxes are raised again?
Please stand with LD 1553 and give us a chance to weigh in on our taxes.
Thank you.
[Your Name]
[Your Town]
