CLT is not engaged in any petition drives in this cycle.  It is our opinion that, until we have a Legislature that respects the voters, petitioning is a waste of time and resources, the results too easily ignored once again.  Our focus is and will remain entirely on defeating any and all anti-taxpayer candidates seeking reelection, electing pro-taxpayer/pro-democracy candidates who will respect their constituents for a change.  However, anyone who feels differently can find more details here:
