The People
About half of likely voters support YES on 3: Taxpayers, job seekers, independents, lower and middle-income workers of all political parties, small businesses, independent store owners, Tea Party groups, GOP town and city committee members and hundreds of current and former city and town officials across Massachusetts support YES on 3.
An even larger percentage of non-voters support this broad-based tax cut. IF THESE VOTERS WOULD REGISTER TO VOTE – AND SHOW UP AT THE POLLS AND VOTE – THIS TAX CUT WILL WIN!

Organizations/Media that endorse Question 3
Boston Herald: “Count us in the YES on 3 camp.”
Gloucester Times: “Let’s face it: Fears of what this type of cut would bring aren’t really rooted in the need to preserve services.
“They’re rooted in the desire to preserve unconscionable wage and benefit packages for public employees. If these officials really care about services, they will make the kinds of concessions those in the private sector have been making for most of this decade”
Boston Globe’s Jeff Jacoby:
“A vote for Question 3 is a vote to grab state government by the collar and give it a shaking it can’t ignore. Pass up this chance, and you may not get another.”
WRKO’s Howie Carr:
“We’ve tried to be nice to them; we’ve tried to wean the government employee unions off of big government and high taxes, but they are addicted; they are taxaholics. It’s time for them to go cold turkey with Yes on 3.”
WTKK’s Jay Severin:
“Do it for yourself; do it for your family. Vote Yes on 3.”
WTKK’s Michael Graham:
“The ‘No on 3’ crowd is trying to steal Yes on 3’s strongest argument, making the ludicrous claim that cutting sales taxes will kill jobs. Find an economist anywhere who believes that. Or a single Bay Stater running a business on the New Hampshire border.”
We thank all who endorsed Question 3 for their support!
