ATTENTION VOTERS: 111,000+ of your neighbors have signed

petitions to abolish ALL property taxes on homesteads and farmsteads

(primary residences) in Pennsylvania. At the time this was written, 35 legislators

have co-sponsored Senate Bills 717-718; and House Bills 1572 and 1573, to accomplish

this objective. We need your help! With enactment of this legislation and the

constitutional amendment-- which voters will have the final chance to approve or

disapprove-- there will be:

• No more property taxes on homesteads and farmsteads (primary residences)

in Pennsylvania.

• No more invasion of privacy onto your property, and into your home by tax

assessors. No more doubt or fear of how much home taxes will rise each year.

• No more tax increases when you improve your home.

• No more cruel sheriff sales of homes for back taxes. We are all one major

illness away from losing our homes. In PA each year, tens of thousands of

homes are advertised for sheriff sales for back taxes.

• Cuts in the size of government: Saving taxpayers tens of millions of dollars

all across the Commonwealth. Cuts can be made in assessment offices, sheriff’s

offices, courts and tax collection commissions.

• Savings of $61.3 million to the PA. Lottery Fund: Enough to increase

payments under the Lottery-funded Rent Rebate Program; or to add some

71,000 seniors to the PACE pharmaceutical program for seniors, or a

combination of both.

• A Reversal in the population out-migration from Pennsylvania. The

stagnant population numbers due to people leaving the state, etc. have cost

our state another two Congressional seats in the last Census. It has also seriously

damaged our business climate. Further, our young people leaving Pennsylvania

due to these taxes, and to find jobs disrupts families. We want Pennsylvania to

again become a place of opportunity. Dramatic changes in thinking are required

to make this happen. The S.T.O.P. plan is a gigantic step forward.

• Creation of thousands upon thousands of private sector jobs.

Enactment of this legislation will create a boom in real estate, home building and

remodeling, banking, construction materials and remodeling supplies, etc.

Currently home owners who improve their homes are penalized with higher

property taxes. Remove that threat by abolishing the property taxes

themselves, and it will unleash a sizable number of home improvement

projects employing thousands of people. It will help revive our towns and cities

because more people will be able to buy homes and improve them. Ownership

changes attitude.

We encourage all voters to learn more about this very positive and dramatic

change for Pennsylvania. Join in this historic tax revolution to make Pennsylvania

grow and prosper again. To view the legislation, and a more complete explanation;
