While we are still working out details, the rally is set for Saturday, May 2nd starting at 11am and running through 4pm. The main rally will begin around 2pm. Check back often for the latest information.

A state budget deficit of over $6 billion through the next budget biennium has the tax and spenders reeling. And unfortunately that can mean only one thing: grab your wallet. In fact, Minnesota House Democrats have already proposed at least $1.5 billion in new taxes, notwithstanding the state may receive billions in federal stimulus money. By the way, the stimulus money coming from Washington is part of the greatest spending binge in history. This has resulted unprecedented federal borrowing as well as massive new tax increase proposals.
Because of this fiscal crisis, we are set to ratchet up our plans for this year’s TAX CUT RALLY to be held once again on the Capitol steps, May 2, 2009. We are joining forces with the Taxpayers League of Minnesota and Minnesota Majority to expand the number of activities to include more booths, more points of interest, and even kid-friendly activities such as food, music, and refreshments. We might even have a prize or two for the best sign!

Minnesota and the nation need you and your neighbors (please have them join the Tax Cut Coalition) to show up in force Saturday, May 2nd in St. Paul on the Capitol Steps so that the tax and spenders can get the message loud and clear: not one more dime.

Note that Marianne Stebbins will be speaking at about 2 p.m. on behalf of Campaign for Liberty.

ST. PAUL – A group of non-partisan, non-profit organizations have formed a coalition that will be gathering suggestions to solve Minnesota’s current $4.8 billion shortfall. The coalition is seeking methods that can solve the states budget problems without adding to the tax burden of families and small businesses.

The coalition is asking for proposals from policy experts and ordinary citizens in order to begin a constructive dialogue for real budget solutions. A new website has been launched at MinnesotaBudgetSolutions.com where anyone can help identify opportunities to restructure state spending and comment on budget proposals.

“The partners in this coalition range include members of the construction industry to family advocacy groups,” said Pat Anderson, President of the Free Market Institute. “Our goal is to make sure that during the state budget process that the day to day challenges of average families are considered when proposed tax increases and spending reductions are offered up.”

Members of the coalition include; Associated Builders and Contractors, Minnesota Family Council, Minnesota Free Market Institute, Minnesota Majority, the Minnesota chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses, Taxpayers League of Minnesota, and Campaign for Liberty.

“Our object is to understand and develop opportunities to better allocate state funds, and then seek common sense solutions that won’t add to the burden Minnesota families already bear,” said Jeff Davis, President of Minnesota Majority. “Minnesota is home to some of the best and brightest individuals. If we roll up our sleeves and work together, we can accomplish this goal.”
