PLAN to eliminate limits on mining revenue taxation

This is so long overdue. It’s time to revamp what mining pays to the State of Nevada, and it’s time for us to help PLAN (Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada) get the ballot initiative through.

As PLAN’s state director, Bob Fulkerson says, the mining industry will fight this tooth and nail. Nevadans will be bombarded with multi-million dollar, slick advertising campaigns trying to defeat this. But the truth is that mining has for far too long had a virtually free ride in this state.

We can’t afford to subsidize what mining should be paying for.

Don’t put this on the back of Harry Reid, either. We as Nevadans must make it clear that we need this change.

This isn’t about being vindictive in regard to mining. This is about ‘times are tough all over’, and it’s past time for mining to pay their share.

Statement of Bob Fulkerson, State Director, Progressive Leadership Alliance, regarding the Senate vote to proceed with debate on health care reform legislation:

 

“Nevada’s working families can take comfort in this historic breakthrough on health care reform. Sen. Reid has demonstrated tremendous leadership in getting to the 60 votes necessary to move this landmark bill forward. It is unfortunate that his colleague from Nevada, Sen. Ensign, has chosen to side with the insurance companies and against consumers.  We are about to enter a new era in achieving affordable, accessible health care for all.”

The health care reform bill being voted on in the House this week will save you an average of $2,800 per year.1 That bill says those who make more than a quarter of a million dollars a year should help pay for reform by rolling back Bush’s tax cuts by just 1%.2

Can you call your Representative today and tell them to stand up for health care?

Here is a sample of what you can say:

· Press 1 to be connected to your Representative. You will be asked for you 10-digit telephone number, please each number slowly.

· Please be polite. Ask to talk with someone who can speak to the Representative’s position on health care.

I’m calling from Health Care for America Now to make sure that Rep. _____ knows that we need real health care reform in 2009.

The House health care bill, H.R. 3200, will provide quality, affordable health care for all with good benefits and affordable costs.

Health care can’t wait, please vote for H.R. 3200, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act, before you leave for vacation.

* If you are having trouble getting through on this number, try this alternative number 1-888-436-8427

Thanks for the heads up, Bob! I’ve made my call to Rep. Dean Heller’s office.
