The Mission

Fed Up With Taxes is a coalition of Maine citizens, businesses and organizations who are tired of paying high taxes. The coalition is seeking to undo a recently enacted law increasing the tax on beer and wine AND adding new taxes on flavored water, sports drinks, colas, diet colas, juice drinks AND health insurance claims. Our coalition believes Maine people should decide for themselves if they are fed up with taxes. We have organized a People's Veto to give you that opportunity.

The Facts

Q. What is a People’s Veto?

A. The People’s Veto Veto process is our right to challenge an act of the Maine Legislature by putting on the ballot. The Fed Up With Taxes Coalition collected more than 95,000 signatures from Maine citizens who oppose new taxes on beverages and health care. This allows the issue to be put on the November 4, giving all of us a chance to “Vote Yes On Question 1” to undo this tax increase that the legislature tried to sneak by us.
