No, I Can't Afford It

Got this in my inbox today.
NO! I CAN'T AFFORD IT! is a legal political action committee. We have registered with the Missouri Ethics Commission, have a bank account, and post office box address. Unabashedly, this mail is to ask for your financial support in our opposition to the 3/8-cent sales tax proposal for Truman Sports Complex to appear on the April 4, 2006 ballot.
Since I stood before the Jackson County Legislature on January 20, 2006 and read my statement into the public record, I have received many phone calls, e-mails and have had people stop me on the street
to voice their support and encouragement. I had no idea my message would resonate with so many.
You may have seen reference to me and the committee in the Kansas City Star. We have appeared on KCPT "Week in Review" on January 27th, Mike Shanin's Sunday call-in show on KMBZ 980 AM radio on February 5th, and a panel discussion on WDAF TV4 the evening of February 9th.
The proponents of this issue have started placing yard signs. We have that plus other methods in the works to deliver our message. As with most opposition campaigns, we are long on idealism and short on cash and volunteer help.
If you wish to be involved in either or both of those capacities, please let me know. Any financial contribution you send will be appreciated and used judiciously to gain maximum value. Current guidelines state we must report any donation over $100.
If you have any questions or comments for me, please call or write. This will be a hard campaign and there are only seven weeks to go before the voting date.
Sincerely,
Craig Davis, Chairman
