Matt Strawn, Chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa, released this Call to Action on Friday, March 27th:

“Democrats release Plan to Eliminate Federal Deductibility to Force YOU to Pay a Tax on a Tax:  Elimination of Federal Deductibility looks like it is on the Democrats’ “Must Do” List before Session Ends.  This could be Death Blow to our Economy!”

We stand with Chairman Strawn in condemning this action by the Democratic leadership.  Iowa must not join the states with high marginal tax rates and denial of Federal Tax deductibility.  We dare not risk driving more individuals and small business owners out of our state.

Iowans for Tax Relief and the Republican Party of Iowa are calling all Republicans to the State Capitol in Des Moines Tuesday evening, March 31st, at 6:30 P.M. in the Capitol Cafeteria, to attend the public hearing on this issue to be held at 7:30 PM in the House Chamber.

We encourage Polk County Republicans to attend the public hearing Tuesday night and speak out against the spending and added taxation plans of the 2009 Iowa General Assembly.  Let’s make sure Polk County leads the fight against any effort to raise taxes in Iowa.  Please join me at the Capitol!

If you cannot make it to the Capitol, please email and call your representatives.  Your voice does make a difference!  You can look up their contact information at http://www.taxrelief.org/legislators.

On Tuesday night you can also listen to the hearing online at http://www.legis.state.ia.us/Audio/Audio.html, and click house audio.

Sincerely, John L Bloom

Chairman, Polk County Republican Central Committee
