Freedom vs. Socialism
The strong avowed socialists in Chatham County now have more people who want freedom and capitalism lined up against them. Let's hope freedom wins out:
Americans for Prosperity, Chatham Conservative Voice Announce Partnership New Chatham County Chapter of Americans for Prosperity to Begin Fight for Freedom(Pittsboro, NC) The North Carolina Chapter of the national free-market grassroots group, Americans For Prosperity (AFP-NC), and the Chatham Conservative Voice (CCV) today announced they are joining forces. The partnership will make Chatham County taxpayers more powerful in the fight for lower taxes and lower levels of government spending and regulation in Pittsboro, Raleigh, and Washington, DC. The Chatham Conservative Voice has taken the lead in the fight against new taxes and irresponsible spending in Chatham County. "It has become clear that Chatham County is ground zero for property rights in North Carolina," said AFP-NC State Director Francis De Luca. "There clearly is a need for an enhanced organization fighting for property rights and for individual freedom." Under the partnership plan, the Voice will operate as an affiliate of Americans for Prosperity. The Voice will continue to be governed and operated by its own set of by-laws and Board of Directors. Its goal continues to be protecting the freedoms of Chatham County citizens. AFP-NC will provide Chatham taxpayers with intellectual ammunition in the battle for economic freedom. It also will provide, to the Voice, its national best-in-field grassroots training schools, as well as communications, marketing, and public policy support. Last summer, AFP-NC launched an extensive issue campaign to inform the public about twelve state legislators who broke their pledge to not raise taxes in the state legislature. Concerned taxpayers responded with notable results. Seven of those pledge breakers, one of whom was the assistant majority leader, were defeated. In less than three years of existence, Americans for Prosperity already has chalked up a number of major victories on the state level, including the defeat of proposed tax hikes in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and California, and the limiting of taxpayer-funded lobbying in Texas. Americans for Prosperity also has become the national grassroots leader in promoting state constitutional tax-and-spending limits from coast to coast. Americans for Prosperity this year also brought its hugely successful "Ending Earmarks Express" road tour of wasteful pork-barrel projects to thirty-seven states including North Carolina. AFP's visits to unnecessary pet projects such as a proposed "Railroad to Nowhere" in Mississippi, the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska, and the world's largest teapot museum in North Carolina, helped lead to the removal of some $15 billion in wasteful pork-barrel spending from an emergency spending bill and to the passage of significant earmark reform in Congress. "The Chatham Conservative voice has done a great job fighting for the taxpayers and land owners of this great county, and we're proud to join them in that fight," said Americans for Prosperity State Director Francis De Luca. "The taxpayers of Chatham County will be a stronger force in the county seat, in the state capital, and in the nation's capital as a result of this partnership." "This partnership is a win-win for the Conservative Voice and the taxpayers of Chatham County," said Conservative Voice Chairman Mark Cares. "Chatham taxpayers will have a louder voice here at home, and we'll have a louder voice in Raleigh and in Washington." AFP-NC Grassroots Director Chris Farr and Communications Director Dallas Woodhouse will work closely with grassroots members to develop a strategy to defeat the spend and tax policies of the current Board of Commissioners and advocate for a positive agenda of economic growth for business and jobs. "The Chatham BOC wants to decide what other people can do with their own land. They want to decide what type of private business people can start, and where they can start them," said AFP-NC's Dallas Woodhouse. "This is still the United States of America and citizens still have rights under the U.S. Constitution." Chatham Conservative Voice Chairman Mark Cares said, "This partnership with AFP gives us the voice we need in Raleigh and beyond to defeat the new tax proposals that our Chatham County Board of Commissioners have asked the state to allow. These proposals will undoubtedly affect everyone in the state if we do not stop the tax increases now." Candace Steele, a grassroots member of the Voice, said fighting a proposed land transfer tax would be among the first priorities of the new partnership. "It is important we don't tax people out of the hard earned equity in their homes. A land transfer tax will hurt economic growth and personal prosperity in Chatham County." The Chatham Conservative Voice will provide a truthful and positive voice within our county for conservative principles and liberty as defined by the founding fathers. We will educate, we will be informed, we will be effective and represented in every election. Our mission is to protect our freedoms.

Two members of the BOC, who owe their election to the tactics of the Chatham Coalition, the hard-left liberals in Chatham County, have gone to Moore county to try to convince them that they too need a transfer tax. They think it is an untapped gold mine, as if the money is not coming out of the same pockets as property taxes, sales taxes, and income taxes, and other fees and taxes are already coming out of and have come from. Thanks for letting others know about the fight for freedom in Chatham County. This affects everyone, everywhere in the state. Trust me, if they win here, they have plans for the Coalition to go statewide.

It IS an "untapped gold mine" in their minds. Socialists LOVE this idea because it will put millions of dollars in their hands, they will claim they didn't raise taxes, and people won't SEE the transfer tax -- it's well-hidden. And yes, there is a strong drive for these taxes in all liberal areas across the state. If freedom is to win, these people have to be stopped.
