A mission for the Wisconsin Blogosphere.
Charlie is calling on us for help, check Sykes Writes today, he has a woman that has been "recruited" by her school district to advocate against TABOR and she is looking for help in busting through the school board spin. Please dig up your best pro TABOR information and share them with both Ms. Thomas and Charlie.
I know this is a subject that Owen from Boots & Sabers has posted eloquently on, a search of his posts on the subject and a review of his actions with the Mequon school district and their TABOR stand would be a good place to start.
ADDITION
On the Borderline has written a number of posts on TABOR as well. All of the TABOR posts can be found here. (~Jib)
ADDITION #2 (from comments)
Be sure to look through the info on Rep. Frank Lasee's website - he is the main author of TABOR. www.FrankLasee.net.
I believe CRG Network also has a great deal of info: crgnetwork.com (no www on that one). (~Lance Burri)

I've been hitting TABOR hard since meeting Frank Lasee for the first time last fall. My Blog started doing Google TABOR Alerts since. I try to answer any or all critics of it. I've also had Frank clarify some things on my blog. The critical elements of countering anti-TABOR people is to consider the source, that is why they are against it. Usually it's because they are beholden to the tax dollar who pays their wages, funds their pensions, and pays for 99% of their health care, or in the case here in Hudson, people who are married or related to people who are. You are going to find Education, Unions (State and County workers), and Government as 80% of the opposition. Another 10% are going to be those who depend on government funding of their pet programs, and the last 10 are the ones who do not know any better. Another aspect is that there are 2 Brands of TABOR, 1 that will only be a feeble attempt to limit government with loop-holes and exemptions, and the other, authored by Lasee. Check out my blog and you'll see a pattern to defend it.
