Stop the Hidden Gas Tax Tell California lawmakers to put the brakes the hidden gas tax and higher fuel costs.

OFF THE WIRE
ACT NOW: PUT THE BRAKES ON THE HIDDEN GAS TAX

CARB's New Hidden Gas Tax Could Add Up to 76 Cents per Gallon to Fuel Costs
Unless we act now to stop it, a regulation already adopted by the California Air Resources Board will increase the cost of gasoline and diesel fuels by up to 76 a cents a gallon, according to the agency's own analysis!  And those costs won't stop at the pump - they'll increase the cost of everything that uses gasoline and diesel to transport products to market, including everyday essentials like food and medicine. By extending the multi-billion dollar cap-and-trade program to transportation fuels, CARB's hidden gas tax will go into effect on January 1, 2015 - just 6 months from now!

Everyone Pays, Everyone Gets Hurt
This hidden gas tax will hurt middle and low-income families and small businesses the most, and will make it more expensive for local governments and school districts to provide public safety, ambulances, school transportation and other services upon which Californians rely.

Act NOW: Hold CARB Accountable and Put The Brakes On the Hidden Gas Tax
The bureaucrats at CARB are appointed, not elected, so they're not accountable to voters.  But they ARE accountable to the Governor and the Legislature, who are accountable to YOU!  Time is running out: the Governor and Legislature need to hear from you NOW that you need their help. [
