Subject:Need your support for Bill 251026
Dear [COUNCIL MEMBER NAME]: My name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent in your district. I am writing in support of Bill 251026, introduced by Councilman Mike Driscoll and sponsored by 8 other council members. I would like you to publicly support a finance hearing this fall. [1-3 sentences about how this year's BIRT rollback impacted you and our community directly] I know I'm not alone in this request. I'm one of over 1,150 Philadelphians who signed in support of the LIFT act, because we're taxed higher than corporations, on the same income, twice. I need you to get Bill 251026 done before we're forced out of our businesses and homes. Thank you, [Your Name]
