TAX SEASON

Full Description:

This message from the sponsors of the FAIR TAX BILL that is before Congress right now, should be of interest to every tax-paying American! Congressman Tom Feeney (FL-24) contacted Congressman John Linder's office last week and requested that he be added as a co-sponsor of the FairTax. He was included! With the addition of Spencer Bachus (AL-6), John Sullivan (OK-1), Todd Tiahrt (KS-4), Jerry Moran (KS-1), and Tom Feeney all in this calendar year, HR 25 now has 50 co-sponsors.

We are making progress and, as we head into tax season and the next elections, it is imperative that your support of the FairTax be heard. In a sea of people, it can be difficult to realize the value you have in the political process, but it is significant.

Your support is needed in recruiting others like yourselves. People who believe that the best way to address the ailments of this country's income tax, payroll tax, capital gains tax, unemployment tax, and other taxes under the federal tax system is to replace them all with the FairTax!

In order to pass the FairTax, the membership needs to grow exponentially. To place a quantifiable dimension on the strategy, we need 3000 members (informed, committed, advocates) of the FairTax in each congressional district with 10,000 members in those districts in which there are congressmen or women on the Ways and Means committee. Can you help us do that today? Can you get signed petitions in your neighborhood? Organize a block walk in your area? Speak to local farm groups? Work a booth or a convention and get e-mail sign ups? Please contact us at volunteer@fairtax.org with your city, state, and phone number if you can help today. We will send your e-mail on to local organizers ready and waiting for your support!

National training sessions occurred in nine cities in the last 90 days. In these cities, over 1100 FairTax supporters spent an entire day learning methods and strategies on how to make the FairTax a household word in their communities. Volunteers shared experiences and grouped together to create local strategies. Over 110 new volunteer leaders have emerged from those sessions in NC, SC, GA, FL, TX, OH, and AL. Membership in the last few months has grown by thousands. People are joining. Volunteers are emerging. Growth is strong. Weekly meetings and briefings are occurring all over the state in FL, GA, VA, KS, MO, and OH. Monthly meetings are occurring in multiple locations in many other states.

Jump start the FairTax today in your community. E-mail us at volunteer@fairtax.org. Co-sponsors are signing up. But so much more must be done.

Join us today by sharing the news about the FairTax and the freedom we offer from a tyrannical tax system with your associates, co-workers, friends, and family at FAIRTAX.ORG.
