Newsletter

Greetings to all FairTax Nation citizens! We know there may be many of you who could be surprised to be receiving this email and may ask just how you managed to be on the receiving end of this newsletter. The explanation is rather simple, if you have ever signed a “sign up” sheet at any of our many events, then you have been entered into our database as a “citizen” of FairTax Nation and that is why you are on our email list. Where have we been? – We are still rather young and suffering “growing pains”. We have just recently held our first conference call and this is our first newsletter, we hope both of these events will become routine in the future. What have we done? – We have managed to accomplish a great deal during our short existence. We have carried the message of the FairTax to many events, a couple of which few would dare to tread; here is a list of events that were attended by our citizens at their own expense: CPAC - Conservative Political Action Conference College Republican National Committee Convention National Taxpayers Union Event Midwest FairTax Rally Netroots Nation Right Online KY State Fair Storm the Hill 1 on 9/11 – visited many congressional offices, especially those of Blue Dog Democrats The national Tea party held in DC on 9/12 - passed out FairTax materials Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Annual Legislative Conference It should be noted that most of the above events required additional fees for things like registration and booth rentals Where are we going? – We hope to go back to all of the events listed above and then some; including a planned Storm the Hill 2 event that may well become a signature FTN event. We were unable to attend a NAACP event simply due to a lack of funding. Why go back? – Simply because we have to, anything less would be viewed as a failing effort by those who oppose the FairTax and will be most certainly used against our cause. What can you do - today? – Get involved! Here’s how to be a FairTax “activist”… Become an active citizen on www.fairtaxnation.com and offer whatever you may be able to give, whether that amounts to your time, thoughts and ideas, or other resources. Log onto the FairTax Nation website and find out what is happening in your area. While you’re there, join your state’s group if you have not done so already. Call your Representative and Senators! If they have already cosponsored their respective FairTax legislation (HR25/S296) then thank them for their support; if not, then ask them to support the FairTax and become cosponsors. Finally, we find ourselves in the position of having to ask for your financial support. We estimate it will take about $50,000 to fund all of the events we hope to go back to next year, not to mention any additional events we think essential to attend. If each citizen of FairTax Nation would contribute just five to ten dollars, then we should easily be able to make our goals. To make a contribution, log onto the FairTax Nation website and click on the “Donate” button on the upper right side of the page. We realize you’ve probably been asked to support the recent fund raising effort by Americans for Fair Taxation (AFFT – FairTax.org), so anything you might be able to give, especially during these hard economic times, would be greatly appreciated. We have an immediate need to raise another $3,500 so we can reserve our space at the CPAC event, the deadline is November 20th. FairTax.org was able to raise $250,000 in four months, let’s see how much we can raise in the same time period. Thank you, Sean Fagan Special Projects www.fairtaxnation.com
