Don't repeal the alcohol taxLogo Design Contest

Ballot initiative to block the repeal of a sales tax on alcohol sales in Massachusetts.

Would like it to have Red, Black, and White

This is the overall message of the campaign: Alcohol is not a necessity and does not deserve a special tax exemption. The
only goods in Massachusetts exempt from the sales tax are necessities like food,
clothing, and prescriptions. If anything should be taxed, products like cigarettes
and alcohol should be.
Revenues from the alcohol tax provide dedicated funding for healthcare services
for more than 100,000 residents with behavioral health problems. Massachusetts
has some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in the country - the last
thing we need is to take money away from prevention and treatment services to
make alcohol more accessible. The alcohol tax literally saves lives by reducing
teen drinking and funding treatment services to help people beat addictions and
getting their lives back on track.
Only five states do not have a sales tax on alcohol. With Massachusetts facing a
serious budget deficit, don’t give alcohol a special exemption.
