		<description>You are so right. I recently posted and article about how GSFTC is made up of outside interests, well funded I might add, that are quasi-religious groups, not taxed and have no business in our town meetings. Same with the Carbon Coalition.

You can hear the whole interview here:
http://granitegrok.com/blog/2008/02/make_no_mistake_about_it_their_goal_is_y.html

Summary of letter sent to every paper in NH:

First, you cannot legislate away the 'free speech' of candidates by passing a resolution to 'dump the pledge'.

Second, instead of asking for yet another tax, why aren't these 'fairness' crusaders of the deceptively named "Granite State Fair Tax Coalition" instructing people on how to go to their town meetings and vote NO on excessive spending? Why are they instead bent on DEFEATING SB2? Makes no sense.

Third, studies such as the Yankee Institute of Connecticut's "Fifteen Years of Folly" proved that the added burden of a state income and sales tax made NO significant impact on the lowering of property taxes.

Can GSFTC shows us even ONE document that proves otherwise? No.

Finally, GSFTC is NOT a bona-fide 'grassroots' group but a well-funded branch of a larger cabal of groups influenced by national and international outside interests, who are themselves tax-exempt.  Because of who they are, they DO NOT belong in town meetings looking to pave the way for more taxation at the state level, even if this were an appropriate place to lobby for such taxes.

You can explore GSFTC's list of supporting groups here:

(The last link on that page should be http://www.uuactionnetworknh.org/)

Kick these outsiders out of your town meetings and vote NO on their silly warrant articles.</description>
