No Amendment One www.noamendmentone.org
Strike Three
October 30, 2004
I hope the sense of urgency and importance to play a role in defeating Amendment One is recognized by all of those who read this letter.
On the heels of the World Series where a baseball team has shown us that obstacles can be overcome with hard work, let’s throw Tax Increment Financing in NC a Strike Three. Many of you have been working along with us for several months to educate voters, but our job is not finished. We are battling special interest groups who should be ashamed of themselves for operating such a deceitful campaign in their attempt to receive tax subsidies.
I am extremely impressed at the thousands of citizens I have communicated with that are grassroots activists in their area. I am also appreciative of the willingness for everyone to look at the fact that this issue is not about partisan politics, but instead about our NC Constitutional Right.
With Early Voting past us, I would like to urge all voters to fully recognize the importance of us educating our family and friends about the consequences of Amendment One. While working a Poll in my local area, I was amazed at how many people were unaware or misled about this issue. It was also encouraging to meet many citizens that were already voting against allowing local government to borrow money without voter approval. Many of the voters that were against this item worked for corporations or were members of organizations that have endorsed Amendment One.
Many people are having signs made at their local sign shop and are working a Poll in their area on November 2nd. I encourage everyone to get involved by working a Poll and talk with voters or pass out flyers to vote against Amendment One. You may not be able to take the day off to work, but at least work the nearest Poll before or after work and at lunch. Information on handouts and creative ways to make a homemade sign that appears professional can found in our “How You Can Help” section of www.noamendmentone.org.
You can make a difference in the outcome, but first you must recognize that one person can make a difference. We are living in a State that overtaxes us, overspends and now they want to divert needed taxes from the funding of schools, fire departments and police departments to help special interests fatten their wallets at the taxpayer’s expense.
Tax Increment Finance scheme has failed twice already for good reasons and now it is time to throw Strike Three.
Thank you for all your hard work, but it is the 11th hour and we have a lot of work still to do.
Forward this message to and/or call everyone you know.
Sincerely,
Michael A. Joyce
