Stop Taxing Us is a political activist group dedicated to holding our government accountable to the people. We believe fiscal responsibility and the free-market are the foundation of a healthy economy and that over-taxation threatens to erode our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. By educating voters about the counterproductive nature of the numerous tax increases being proposed by our elected officials, we aim to reclaim our government from the politicians and reinstitute the principles of our founding fathers.  


History

In 2007, Stop Taxing Us started as a true community-based, grass roots movement in North San Diego County. When a local hospital tried to use a mail-only ballot to garnish support for a hospital bond, which failed twice in the general election format, many community members felt that the democratic process was under attack. Stop Taxing Us was born from this event. Within a few weeks, the handful of initial supporters swelled to over 800 sympathizers and volunteers. The hospital bond was defeated with a margin even greater than the two previous elections. Today, Stop Taxing Us has over 5000 supporters and strong leadership combined of various skills and experience levels that help to further our cause.
