Petition Opposing The "City Income Tax Increase" a.k.a. "The Great Bailout"

I have started a petition to send to the mayor's office, city council, city auditor, State Representative, Terry Johnson and the State Auditor's Office; showing that the citizens of Portsmouth, Ohio are not in support of the proposed tax increase that will be on the ballot in May 2011.

This will send a message to all of the above mentioned elected officials that the people of Portsmouth, Ohio have had enough of the incompetence that is rampid in our city government.

It is time, for the elected officials of our city government to understand that the people of Portsmouth, Ohio do not exist or serve them so, they may have titles and treasures; but they are to serve the people of Portsmouth, Ohio.  Although, many of the elected officials have not been elected into their positions in office.  It is time to remind them that ultimately the people; will and do have the final say!

This petition's details are listed in the petition itself.  I will try and seperate the registered and unregistered voters in my final reports.  But, please sign the petition even if you are an unregistered voter and are a citizen of Portsmouth, Ohio and over the ae of 18 years old.

If you are not a registered voter; please go to the county court house and register to vote!  It takes about 5 minutes and is painless!  At your local level is where any voter can make a direct impact on the lives of your family and community.  You can see and feel the results of your vote personally.  If you vote for only one thing in your life; please register to vote against this "Income Tax Levy" or "Safety Levy" they are disguising it as!
