- Guilty until proven innocent vs IRS free sales taxes

- $10 billion IRS budget vs collection fees to states

- Documenting, measuring, and tracking income for tax purposes until April 15th vs just a spring day

Before April in 2012 comes around we'll have made exciting gains in our campaign from plans being laid right now. Please continue to support local volunteer leaders in their efforts toward a transformed nation and a permanent income tax extension.

Happy tax day!
