Travis Allen for Governor: Repeal the Gas Tax!

UPDATE ON SIGNATURE PACKETS In our last update, we informed you that after we won in Superior court, Jerry Brown's hand-picked Attorney General Xavier Becerra appealed the Judge's decision in a desperate last-ditch attempt to trick voters and save Sacramento’s $52 Billion special interest payday.  We are now in Appeals court with the Attorney General and are seeking a quick response to this meritless appeal in order to have a final ruling within a few weeks. We are hopeful that you will receive your signature packets by the end of this month. We will keep you updated on the Appeal and will also send you an email when packets are mailed.  Then the hard work begins. We will have 180 days from the issuance of the official title and summary to collect the 365,880 signatures needed to place the Repeal on the November 2018 ballot and stop the gas tax which just took effect on November 1st. Although Xavier Becerra is attempting to stall the Gas Tax Repeal in court, we are confident that we will once again prevail. This is yet another example of how Jerry Brown and his political allies will stop at nothing to deceive voters and raise your taxes. As you know, Court battles are expensive and we need your help to make sure our legal bills are covered! If you can make a small donation of $100, $75, $50, $25 or of any size please click on this link. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress and thank you for your support in helping to fight this massive tax.
