Vote for P.J. Mellana

A few weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure of signing the Taxpayer Protection Pledge which is a project of the Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). ATR works with taxpayer groups and activists around the country to ask all candidates and elected officials to make this important commitment to taxpayers.

This type of pledge is a "no brainer" for me, since my principles and views on politics revolve around limited government and limited taxes and how those things secure our freedom, create opportunity, and create prosperity. But it means even more to me now here in California because the political elite in Sacramento raised taxes recently and all that it did was push our state deeper into this bad economy. I challenge any and all of my opponents on the other side to at least make this pledge for the term they are running for, even though I know there is little chance of them doing that.

Below are some pictures of me signing the pledge, and here is the specific language from the pledge:

"I, P.J. MELLANA, PLEDGE TO THE TAXPAYERS OF THE 50TH DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND ALL THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE THAT I WILL OPPOSE AND VOTE AGAINST ANY AND ALL EFFORTS TO INCREASE TAXES."
