Former Congressman Dick Armey has gotten involved in this damned budget mess:

On behalf of nearly 13,000 FreedomWorks members in Georgia, I am writing to strongly urge you to vote in support of the House position to override the Governor’s veto of the $142 million tax rebate for Georgia.

Given the recent growth of government spending in Georgia, and the rapid appreciation of housing prices and related property taxes, FreedomWorks believes this tax rebate is appropriate and necessary.

Indeed, according to the latest rankings from the Tax Foundation, Georgia’s state and local tax burden of 10.3 percent is higher than neighboring states Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama.

It is time to put taxpayers first, and to remember that it is their hard-earned money that is under discussion. As such, I urge your support for the $142 million in tax relieve for Georgia taxpayers.

Thank you in advance for your continued support of lower taxes and limited, responsible government.
