The Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) will conduct its annual “Penny Poll” on Federal spending priorities on Monday, April 18, from noon until 1 p.m. in front of the Palmer Square Post Office in downtown Princeton. People approaching the post office, many to mail their tax returns by the deadline, will be handed ten pennies and invited to distribute them among five tubes proportionate to how they would like to see their federal tax dollars spent. The five choices will include: Military, Environment, Education, Housing, and Health Care. After distributing their pennies, participants will be handed a fact sheet describing how their federal tax dollar is actually spent. If their choices are dramatically different from those on the fact sheet, they will be encouraged to write a letter to their elected representatives urging change. Interested people are invited to participate in the Penny Poll and/or to help conduct it by coming to the Palmer Square Post Office between noon and 1 p.m. For further information, visit CFPA’s web site at www.peacecoalition.orgor call the CFPA office at (609) 924-5022.
