During these difficult economic times, we cannot afford another tax increase, especially one that won’t work.

The proposed national tax on soda and juice drinks will not teach children good nutrition habits or have a meaningful impact on public health, but will have a negative impact on American families struggling in this economy.

This is a regressive tax that would unnecessarily burden hard-working Americans. And it would do irreparable harm to an industry whose economic reach extends to every community in America, directly providing 220,000 good-paying jobs with health benefits and a direct economic impact of $136.4 Billion.

For these reasons, I reject the proposed tax on soda and juice drinks. Let your lawmaker know that you say NO to the tax on soda and juice drinks
