Citizen Education Launch on Amendment 5 will happen on Monday (5 October 2020) at 6:30 PM via Zoom.
A Message from retired Lieutenant General Russel Honoré:
I’m writing to invite you to the launch of an education campaign to oppose Constitutional Amendment 5 which is on the ballot this November.
I think it’s one of the worst things to hit Louisiana since Katrina.
We’re launching a citizen education campaign to fight Amendment 5 this Monday, October 5th, at 6:30 PM on Zoom.
I’d like to invite you to attend.
We can have up to 1,000 people on the Zoom call.
You can register for the call here.
What Amendment 5 Would Do
Amendment 5 would allow industrial corporations to negotiate what they pay in property taxes, while the rest of us pay what the law requires.
It would defund public education, pull money away from roads, bridges, healthcare and hurricane recovery and shift the tax burden to working families and small businesses.
The ballot language was “engineered to intentionally confuse the average American voter,” as one reporter put it.
That’s why the community education campaign we’re starting is so important.
Attendees to the event on Monday will receive:
- Clear, concise information about where Constitutional Amendment 5 came from and the impact it would have
- A packet of educational material and social media posts to share with your congregation, organizational members, clients, customers, neighbors and local media
- Information about how to get involved in the campaign to defeat Amendment 5
So please join us on Monday (5 October 2020) at 6:30 PM.
Tell your friends. Organize your neighbors.
