HARRISBURG, PA — The Commonwealth Foundation today announced the launch of the Please, No More Taxes! campaign, a public education effort aimed at the elimination of wasteful state spending and making Pennsylvania's state and local tax burden -- the 11th heaviest in the nation -- tolerable.

The campaign features PleaseNoMoreTaxes.org -- a cutting-edge Web site where taxpayers can:

Learn the facts about Pennsylvania's fiscal mismanagement.
Email their legislators.
Sign an e-petition to Gov. Rendell and the Legislature to eliminate waste and cut taxes.
Receive a bumper sticker bearing the rallying cry Please, No More Taxes!
Enter a video contest (to send a video message to the Governor) that offers a fun and rewarding way to raise awareness of Pennsylvania's punishing tax burden. The first-prize video will earn $2,500, while second and third-prize winners will receive $1,000 and $500, respectively. The deadline to enter is April 5th, and winners will be announced on Tax Day, April 15th.
