No city in the country has ever tolled FREEways! Don't let Austin be the first!
SAY NO TO TOLL ROADS!
The double tax that will come about on implementing tolls on already existing freeways in Austin, TX is beyond ridiculous. We need to get more people to join the fight and vote in a block to replace the double tax tollers and endorse candidates that will fight to stop the phase 2 toll plan.
Do you know the Austin Toll Plan will cost the average Austin Family $100.00 or more a month? Did you know our tax dollars will pay for the construction of the toll roads? Did you know the plan seizes over $100 million dollars of our tax financed roads/projects right here in Austin and converts them into Toll Roads? This plan calls for most our daily commute highways to be turned into toll roads. That has never been done anywhere in our country. We will dwarf Dallas and Houston in Toll road miles.
What does this have to do with Big Brother? Honestly, toll booths are there to monitor drivers. There are cameras all over the stops and most new tolls don't even allow you to use coins or cash to pay for the toll charge. Instead, we see new measures that force drivers to purchase electronic toll tags that automatically charge you when your car passes through a toll booth sensor. While some citizens may see this as a convenient features that helps save them time and the hassle of having to stop at the booth and toss change into the collector bin, it is actually a means of control. Local authorities will be able to trace your travels around town by seeing which toll booths you go through. Also, they'll be able to take snapshots at these booths that are supposed to take only photos of your license plate. However I am suspicious that there's a lot more that shows up in the pictures than we'd like to think!
Help the cause! Here is some event information to stop the toll roads from taking over our city:
Jimmie Vaughan & Friends will play a benefit concert to help stop the Double Tax Toll Roads. Jon Emery Band and Bruce Jones & the Monotones (formerly with Omar and the Howlers) have also stepped up in an effort to put an end to tolling roads we've already paid for.
This "must see" event of the year will also have very Special guests, Awards, Door prizes and more! Help stop the Tolling of TEXAS FREEWAYS and see:
• Grammy Award Winner Jimmie Vaughan
• GRAMMY Winner, Blues Harp "Legend" James Cotton, (Muddy Waters!)
• Jon Emery Band, Bruce Jones and other VERY special guests!
Hear from anti-double tax toll champions:
• Carole Keeton Strayhorn (R), Texas Comptroller
• Chris Bell (D), Potential candidate for Governor
• Terry Keel (R), State Representative
• Garnet Coleman (D), State Representative
• Todd Baxter (R), State Representative
• Brewster McCracken, City Councilmember
