Dear Editor:
Supervisor Jim Burton's proposal to delay voting on the "Chesapeake Bay" Tax and Control Plan until after the Nov. 8 elections is an attempt to save the Tax and Control Plan from citizen opposition.
Burton's proposal to take heat off the Board's Tax and Control majority until after the election comes just days after American Tradition Partnership contacted nearly 4,000 households in Burton's district, urging citizens to call Burton directly and ask him to oppose the Tax and Control Plan. American Tradition Partnership has contacted around 10,000 total households in Burton's former, and new, district.
American Tradition Partnership was one of the first and is one of the most active grassroots-supported groups fighting the Tax and Control Plan.
Since last May American Tradition Partnership has contacted around 60,000 households and 100,000 citizens countywide, with more to come. A grassroots-supported group, American Tradition Partnership puts citizens in direct contact with supervisors so citizens may personally urge supervisors to drop the Tax and Control Plan permanently.
American Tradition Partnership will continue contacting citizens until the Tax and Control Plan is dropped permanently, or repealed.
Supervisor Burton is finally getting our message. American Tradition Partnership, and majority of Loudoun citizens who oppose the Tax and Control Plan, urges Supervisor Burton to amend his motion and seek to drop the Tax and Control Plan permanently.
You may learn more at
www.AmericanTradition.org. Contact your supervisor at 703-777-0204. Ask him or her to drop the "Chesapeake Bay" Tax and Control Plan permanently.
