  WHERE DOES OUR TAX MONEY GO?

  The invasion stage of the Iraq war may be coming to a close, but now we
  face the expense of occupying and rebuilding a country we have torn
  apart, and our administration is even now planning on taking our war
  machine on an extended tour of the Middle East. Our administration not
  only refuses to listen to our opinions on their "foreign policy;" they
  expect us to pay for it.

  As we approach the annual tax-payment deadline, do you know where your
  tax dollars are going? Do you know that exorbitant amounts of our taxes
  are being funneled to aid the intensifying militarism of our country and
  to the finance of foreign invasions...while at the same time, we face
  health care and public service crises in our own country?

  *WE* pay the bills of this country with our money, work, and sweat, and we
  have the right and obligation to speak out against the crimes committed in
  our names, with our money, and aided by our passive acceptance.

  Join members of the Champaign-Urbana peace movement at the Mattis Post
  Office at 5pm on Tax Day to educate last-minute tax-payers (and
  yourselves!) on where our money is going, and how to effectively resist
  taxes.

  Organized by the Anti-War, Anti-Racism Effort (AWARE) and the Progressive
  Resource/Action Cooperative.
