Property Taxes: First US state to eliminate all state and local property taxes in the state. [What...
...property taxes mean in reality is that you don’t own your home or any other piece of real estate but the government does. You are only renting those properties from the government. If you refuse to pay your property taxes, you will be essentially evicted from your home and other properties, the government will then "sell" off these properties to pay off the taxes it says you owe it, and whoever "buys" the properties will then pay rent to the government. As long as there are property taxes in a country, there are no real property rights in that country. This challenge works to give property ownership to citizens, not government.]
Future Challenges: First US radio talk show host to champion this challenge and:
1) Help spearhead the state-wide petition drive within her/his state and if her/his state allows people to sign petitions online, to have a way for people to sign the petition at the show's website. If her/his state doesn't allow online petitions, the show's website has a way for people to request referendum workers come to their homes so they can collect the person's signature and then the host/ess encourages her/his listeners to go to the show's website and make the request.
2) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect at least the minimum number of signatures needed to get the referendum on the state's ballot.
3) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect more than enough signatures that if they were votes in the next state election, the referendum would win.
4) By way of Future Challenge #1, the host/ess is able to collect more than enough signatures that if they were votes in the next state election, the referendum would win in a landslide (winning by at least a 2-to-1 margin).
