ABOUT US

SLCT&CA was established in 2005 to educate taxpayers, the media, and elected officials on a non-partisan basis on the merits of limited government and low taxes. SLCT&CA uses a variety of means to accomplish our work including direct mail, public speaking and meetings, email and the Internet.

We believe in a system in which taxes are simpler, fairer, and lower than they are today. The government's power to control one's life derives from its power to tax. We believe that power should be reduced and kept to a minimum.
