A Minuteman Foundation Fund-raising Project

Beautiful calendar—worthy cause!

For the 11th consecutive year, Sun City Anthem resident David Berman is selling Las Vegas calendars at an attractive price to raise money for The Shade Tree, the only Las Vegas-area facility exclusively serving homeless and/or battered women and their children.

During the first 10 years of this project, David and his wife Rosalyn have sold and shipped more than 20,000 calendars to buyers all over the world and have raised more than $30,000 for The Shade Tree.

The Web site for the calendar sale is here: http://www.nvdavidberman.com/calendars . The site also contains a link to The Shade Tree's site so that you can learn more about this worthy organization.

Sharron Angle to Officially Launch
the Nevada-Style Prop 13

Angle Property Tax Restraint Will Protect Nevadans From Over-taxation

RENO & HENDERSON, NV - Assemblywoman Sharron Angle will be traveling both ends of the state to officially launch her Angle Property Tax Restraint initiative beginning this Friday October 14. Taxpayers have been expressing much anticipation and eagerness to begin signing the petitions.

There had been concern that the petition would never see light of day. The Legislature passed its own watered-down version of tax-relief in March in an attempt to calm down taxpayers who have seen their property tax bills soar out of control. Then, when Angle filed in June to run for Congress, Nevadans thought that meant the conservative Republican from Reno would not have time to push her initiative.

"I made a promise to the taxpayers, and I keep my promises," declared Angle. "My initiative is needed to provide constitutional property tax relief. The charade that was passed by the Legislature is unconstitutional, and doesn’t go far enough to protect taxpayers. Besides, the tax & spend Legislature can decide to come back and remove their caps at any time. My Angle Property Tax Restraint provides real and permanent relief."

Mrs. Angle filed her petition with the Secretary of State on September 1, the first permissible date for filing. Because of new legislation supported by Secretary of State Dean Heller, all new initiatives must now go through a 30-day "challenge" period, providing yet another road-block.

"It's a constitutional right for Nevada citizens to petition their government. However, Nevadans are no longer surprised by these delaying tactics," explained Angle. "We saw these ploys repeated in the last election cycle, including legitimate complaints dismissed as "bogus" by Dean Heller, and law-abiding citizens being arrested and thrown in jail while gathering signatures. The Tax & Spenders do what they can to remove power from the people, but taxpayers are fed up with lawmakers who have acted to represent special interests, while ignoring their constituents. Nevadans are ready for a tea-party."

The initial kick-off for signature gathering will be held this Friday Oct 14 at 9:00 AM at Sun City Anthem (Anthem Center's Arlington Room), 2450 Hampton Road in Henderson, NV, and again at noon on Saturday October 15 at 303 6th Street (Corner of 6th & Evans) Reno, NV. The public is invited to attend the events and to sign the petitions.

Angle Property Tax Restraint Initiative

The committee of volunteers is forming here in SCA. We will be circulating petitions for signatures to get Sharron Angle’s Prop 13 style initiative on the ballot in 2006. Once it is on the ballot, the taxpayers will have the opportunity to vote yes or no.

Several villages need volunteers to help with this effort. The villages with few or no volunteers are:

Arroyo Vista
Clubhouse
High Mesa
Meadow Vista
Model
Mountain View
Overlook
Pinnacle
Valley View

Volunteers are welcome in all villages. If you would like to help, please contact the Tax Petition Committee at
492-0186 or 617-4410.
