If you read the book or check out the website and like what you see it takes about 5 minutes of effort to do something positive for "the cause".
First go here
http://www.house.gov/. At the top of the page you can put in your zip+4 and it will tell you who your representative is. Then go here:
http://www.fairtaxvolunteer.org/scorecards/index.html and find out where your representative stands on the issue. If they are for it, send them a quick email or letter thanking them and letting them know you support them. If they are
leaning for it, do the same, letting them know you are all for it and hell, ask them for their thoughts on the issue and why they are only "leaning". If against or leaning against, do the same thing. Ask them why. Ask them if they have read the legislation. See what they have to say and start working on them to change their view.
Ignorance of what the FairTax is about is probably the biggest single hurrdle in getting this thing passed. I brought the issue up last night at the local poker game and two people had heard of it. One said, "sounds good on paper, but probably won't work," and the other said, "it'll hurt the poor people,".:frownno:
Neither had read the book or the legislation and unfortunately I couldn't continue the conversation any further, but that second objection shows complete ignorance of how the FairTax is supposed to work. Anyone who's read the book, checked out the web site thoroughly or read the legislation would know that.
For those of you who were involved in getting the AW ban killed, you know what this is going to take. Just a few minutes of your time can make a huge difference folks! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
