A special welcome to members of the California Nurses Association…
The most extreme high priests of the tax cut cult operate right here in California. Because Democrats do not hold a two-thirds majority in our state legislature, a small minority of Republicans is able to hold Californians hostage to a $20 billion state budget deficit, refusing to raise taxes on the super-rich.
It gets worse. Much worse. While California’s future is being put in grave jeopardy, the tax cut cult is refusing to close a tax loophole for yacht and private jet owners.
Schools closing. Social services slashed to the bone. And right-wing Republicans are letting the uber-wealthy off tax-free on yacht and private jet purchases. It’s no wonder the California Republican Party has been re-branded as the “Yacht Party” by the netroots.
To increase the pressure on Republicans in Sacramento to close this
yacht tax loophole, we need to make this “Yacht Party” brand stick. That’s
why the Courage Campaign and California Nurses Association have just
teamed up to produce a new 60-second TV ad that strips naked the
shocking nature of the California Republican Party’s priorities.
It’s time to change the conversation inside Sacramento. Here are two actions you can take to help us make this “Yacht Party” brand stick:
- 1. CONTRIBUTE: Click here to donate $25, $50, $100 or more to help us continue airing the ad next week. Assemblymember Anthony Portantino — impressed by your people-power — is challenging our grassroots community to an urgent matching campaign that can change the conversation inside Sacramento and put pressure on the Governor. He has offered to double your impact, matching the next $5,000 donated. Also, If you contribute at least $100, Arianna Huffington will sign her book (“Right is Wrong”) and send it to you ASAP!
- 2. FORWARD THE YOUTUBE VIDEO: Please forward the “Yacht Party 2” YouTube video to your friends and family. We want to make sure as many people as possible get a chance to see the video.
