Towards a Long-Term Proactive Tax and Budget Campaign

In December 2003, OMB Watch released a paper citing the need for a proactive initiative promoting long-term action on federal tax and budget issues - to push for what we as a community want in federal tax and budget policy. We used this paper as a tool to begin discussions with a variety of people and groups.

In addition, we developed and conducted an Internet survey; held "strategy meetings" with a diverse mixture of nonprofit leaders in Columbia, South Carolina; Chicago, Illinois; Seattle, Washington; and Phoenix, Arizona in March (with another meeting scheduled for Philadelphia on April 28); and began work on a Tax and Budget Resource website to provide easy access to the great resources that already exist on these issues.

The following links provide more information about the paper, the survey, and our new resource page. We have also included the PowerPoint presentation used at the meetings. We will be adding summaries of the strategy sessions and more information to keep you posted on this work.
