This morning Senator Jason Rapert (R-Bigelow) filed SJR4, the Taxpayers’ Protection Amendment.

Under his amendment a ¾ vote of the Arkansas Legislature would be necessary to levy a new tax or raise existing taxes.

A simple majority vote would allow the legislature to lower taxes or change tax deductions, exemptions, exceptions, or credits.

Senator Rapert filed a similar amendment two years ago.

Please contact your lawmakers, and ask them each to support Senator Rapert’s amendment.

The phone number for the Arkansas Senate is 501-682-2902.
The Arkansas House of Representatives is 501-682-6211.

Rep. Wilkins Files Obamacare Abortion Opt-Out Legislation

Jan 25, 2013JerryAbortionAbortion

Rep. Butch Wilkins has filed legislation to opt Arkansas out of paying for abortions under Obamacare.

HB1100 would ensure no public funds would be used to pay for an abortion under Obamacare’s state health insurance exchanges.

We look forward to working with lawmakers and our friends at Arkansas Right to Life to ensure Arkansans’ tax dollars do not go to subsidize procedures that violate their deeply-held convictions about the sanctity of human life.
