Tomorrow is Tax Day 2010, and while many are gathering in Tea Party protests around Illinois, we provide you with a simple way to say “No, Way! to Pat Quinn’s proposed 33% income tax increase:

When it comes to Pat Quinn’s tax hike, Republicans don’t just need to be the party of “No.”

We need to be the party of, “Hell, no!”

After mortgaging our state’s future through eight years of pension schemes, Big Labor giveaways, waste, fraud and abuse — it’s simply wrong that the Democrats in Springfield want to punish us in a bad economy with higher taxes.

By texting “NO” to 77007, you will receive an immediate link on your phone allowing you to immediately call Pat Quinn’s office.

We’ve already sent him thousands of emails in the past few months — now it’s time to hit the phones.

While many are focused on the damaging taxes being proposed at the federal level — we can’t let Pat Quinn off the hook here in Illinois.

This week, as we mark Tax Day 2010 — let Pat Quinn we’re not going to accept his tax hikes without a fight.

Please text “NO” to 77007 today.

How does your state legislator rate?

In these challenging times, it is more important than ever to have elected officials who champion proven conservative principles that will get our economy moving, restore our freedoms, and protect our traditional values.

We call these the L.I.F.T. Principles: Limited Government, Individual Freedom, Free Enterprise and Traditional Values.

That is why we have released our Third Annual Scorecard of the Illinois Ge neral Assembly.

The Republican Party has traditionally been the party of those who champions these principles — but, as we all know, not all Republicans share these values. The scorecard is a quantifiable measurement of each legislators record. We hope it will remind each legislator to think about the consequences of his or her vote when they return to work later this month.

The L.I.F.T. Principles upon which this scorecard is based represent a new and larger definition of conservatism: one that speaks to all aspects of society, rather than the narrow interpretation that liberals propagandize.

Please click here to view the 2009 Legislative Scorecard.

As you will see, we recognize as “L.I.F.T. Leaders” those legislators who scored 75% or higher on the scorecard.

Buyer’s Remorse Over Barack?

Are Obama voters feeling buyer’s remorse? Do they feel swindled into voting for someone who has turned out to be far more extreme and liberal than they thought?

Do they feel that this is the “change” they don’t need?
