<div>Greetings from Brandubh,</div>
<div>Sorry to take up your time with these mundane concerns, but some of us feel strongly about this issue. As many of you may know, Pennsylvania is currently considering a bill to augment failing mass transit authorities throughout the state by leveling a 10% tax on all "poured" alcoholic beverages. This would be set to apply to every alcoholic beverage served in PA, whether it be at a bar, hotel, restaurant, etc. I feel that this is a completely inappropriate method of taxation to support the failing private companies that furnish mass transit to some of our larger cities.

<div>If you live in PA and share my views about taxing alcohol so that private corporations can get a hand-out, then please read on aggravated citizens. There is something we can do. I have attached a link below which was put together by the folks at the Church Brew Works here in Pittsburgh. It gives links to locate your state senator, and other helpful tips for writing letters of complaint. If we flood them with protest they must listen.
