You remember the canoe and kayak tax that some members of our esteemed state legislature proposed awhile back?

Yeah, we just loved that idea.

Well, hold on. To your pint glass, that is.

Yep, the legislature is at it again.

Sneaky, very sneaky.

According to Yankee Brew News (Aug/Sept 2005 edition), the Taxation Committee of the Maine Legislature is pushing for passage of a bill (LD 1595) that would increase the tax on...

Beer!

Yes, it's true.

YBN says that the tax could increase the cost of a pint by as much as a dollar.

Whoa!

First canoes and kayaks. Now our beloved post-outdoor activity refreshment.

It's time to stand together and oppose this affront to decent hard-hiking and paddling and climbing and whatever outdoor enthusiasts!

Outdoors-people unite! Couch potatoes unite! We all love our beer and we don't want to pay any more taxes to get it!

Contact your legislator today and tell them NO to increasing the tax on beer!
