Every tax is a pay cut.  Every tax cut is a pay raise.
Citizens for Limited Taxation

If the following statement annoys you, I'd like to hear from you.

Massachusetts ranks first in personal income tax per capita ($1,552) which is $160 more than the second highest (New York) and more than twice as high as the national average of $729.  It ranks fifth in total state taxes per capita ($2,700), which is more than one-third above the US average of $1,968.

The Framingham tax and spend liberals are trying to duplicate the state taxes.

My goal is to consolidate and unite the opposition to the tax and spend liberals and have them removed from office thru the next few election cycles.  We can then get back to running this town in the same sane manner it has been run for some 295 years before they rode into town.  With any luck, they will move to a ritzier community that they will all like.  They'll be happy and we'll be happy.

I am interested in forming a political organization or PAC (political action committee) whose goal is to eliminate the tax and spend liberals in our local government and return Framingham government back to sane policies.

I am looking for potential candidates with the ideology that taxes and government in Framingham should be limited in our lives. 

If you wish to run for office in Framingham; whether you want to be a town meeting member or run for selectman, I would like to know about you.  Tax and spend liberals need not apply.

You must be willing to sign a pledge to not raise taxes beyond what is allowed by Proposition 2 1/2. I would be delighted to meet you if you are thinking a tax underride.

I would also appreciate any and all volunteer technical assistance in the areas of:

  • running a political action committee (PAC) and following Massachusetts OCPF reporting guidelines
  • web site management (HTML/Javascript)
  • relational databases (MS Access, Postgresql, MySQL) (snail mail mailing lists management)
  • graphical artists (Gif89/Morphing)
  • maintaining email mailing lists via Majordomo/Majorcool
  • assistance in the distribution of mail and material

If you are willing and able to do these tasks, please contact me at hjw2001@gmail.com

At this time, there is no work available but in the next few months as we gear up, the volunteer work will pick up.

All emails sent will have their addresses harvested for mailing lists.
