Connecticut CT FairTax

Comment by Tom Freeman on June 3, 2010 at 12:19pm

My name is Tom Freeman and I am the FairTax DD for NJ8. I am leading an effort in NJ to convince WABC-770AM radio to add Neal Boortz to their line-up. I have reached out to our NJ and NY organizations. I am hoping to get the CT FairTaxers in the WABC listening area to assist in my efforts.

I think there is an excellent opportunity to add the voice of the FairTax to a region where it is sorely needed.

I am asking all FairTax supporters to go to WABC's website (here is the link ) and leave a comment asking them to add Neal Boortz to their line-up.

Please forward to your contacts and let me know if you sent a message. I would like to have an ability to measure the effectiveness of this campaign.

Can you help me?

Thanks,
Tom Freeman

I received this e-mail today. If this is your congressman, don't you think it is time for him to leave office? At least send him a message that we do NOT want anymore taxes; we want the FairTax!


Today, Congress once again ignored what Americans want and introduced a new gasoline tax as part of a global warming bill that also contains a cap and trade energy tax on utilities. The section on the gas tax begins on p. 361.

Introduced by Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT), this bill requires American oil companies to pay a fee to the government for their global warming emissions.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who helped craft the gas tax, admitted the fee "will be passed on" to motorists in the form of higher gasoline prices.

But Senators Kerry and Lieberman are offended that any American would dare call it a gas tax.

Don't be fooled. This is a government requirement that will increase the cost of gasoline. It's a tax. So not only will we have to pay more for gas, we have the added insult of Senators insisting that what we can plainly see as a new gas tax is not actually a gas tax.

The American people know better. And according to an American Solutions poll, 71% of Americans oppose this new gas tax, even if politicians are insisting it is not a gas tax.

In addition, this bill creates a cap and trade system that will dramatically increase the cost of residential and commercial electricity prices.

Even the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says cap and trade will kill jobs and reduce American productivity.

With one bill, Congress will raise gasoline and electricity prices, raise the cost of energy, and kill jobs. This is not the way to create jobs and prosperity.

This bill is wrong for America. Will you help us defeat it?

We need to get information about this new tax to as many people as possible in the next 48 hours.

Thank you,

Vince Haley
Vice-President of Policy

Pictured (see discussion) clockwise starting forward left, are Bill Spillane, California, Jim Bennett, New Jersey, Marilyn Rickert, Illinois, Sean Matula, Grassroots Coordinator, AFFT, Terry Stockham, Chief Operating Officer, AFFT, John Collet, Missouri, and Phil Hinson, Georgia. Bill, Phil, John, Marilyn and Jim are the original members of a Grassroots Leadership Council. Terry is a non-voting member.

The initial charge of the Council is to represent the grassroots and make more effective use for the grassroots of resources available to it from Americans for Fair Taxation. The charge is also to develop a strategic plan to grow the grassroots.

Hi Philip

We need to build a base in Connecticut. One thing you can do is spread the word to people you know in your town. Also contact Senators Dodd and Lieberman along with your Representative. There is a upcoming Tea party in Hartford on 7/4. I'm hoping to get some volunteers to pass out fair Tax literature at this event. Please contact me via my email address fairtax1@earthlink.net so we an discuss it further.

Hello Dan,
I would like to get involved with FairTax in CT. Let me know what I can do. I am currently a CT university student (and CT resident).
Best,
Phil

Former Rep. Rob Simmons of the 2nd Congressional District is challenging Chris Dodd for the U.S. Senate. Simmons was interviewed by Dan Lovallo of WDRC-AM and took calls. I called and asked Simmons if he would support The Fair Tax Act.

He replied he will support a major overhaul of the income tax code and explained how the estate tax effected his mother's estate but he did not specifically say he would support The Fair Tax. I suggest we contact his campaign to explain to his staff The Fair Tax.

The time for the Hartford Tea party on April 15th will be 12:00pm-2:00pm at the north steps of the State Capitol on Capitol avenue.

There will be a presentation of The Fair Tax at E.O. Smith High School in Storrs on Friday April 17th at 6:30pm. Please refer to the events page for more information.

Thanks for the info. I am doing my presentation tonight at 7pm in Springfield. It will be at Toastmasters Club "Pro Speakers" in the TD North building in the Chamber of Commerce office. I will take a look at FreeRepublic.com. I will let you know if I join.

Larry
I appreciate the idea and look forward to any help you can offer. So far I have one other person to volunteer. The Booth will be our biggest problem. The event is tentatively scheduled to take place at or near Bushnell park. Hopefully we can get more people to join in here and can come up with an idea for getting a booth or at least a good table setup to the location.

There is another Fair Tax event I will be posting soon occurring at the E.O. Smith High School Auditorium in Storrs on April 17th. You're power point presentation maybe more useful here if your so inclined. I will be be making a phone call to confirm date, time and guest speaker.

You maybe interested to know I also post Fair Tax related information at a conservative website called FreeRepublic.com. There is a fairly large Fair Tax contingent at this site of which I maintain list. We will be gathering at John Harvards pub in Manchester on Saturday March 28th at 3:30pm to discuss the tea party rally for 4/15. You will have to register to become a member. Registration is free if you're so inclined. You can email me (Man50D) through the website's email system. We can talk at JH's if you're interested. I'm hoping to work The Fair Tax into the conversation. Thanks for your support.
