Replace All Federal Taxes on Income with the Fair Tax Act , HR 25
Letter-writing campaign to the Vice President
I didn't get any response to my query in the other thread, so I am retelling the story in a separate discussion:
Backstage at one of the Democratic primary debates, then Senator Joe Biden walked up to me, tapped the FairTax sticker on my shirt and said, "That's an interesting idea; I'd like to learn more about it." I reacted badly because I was there in the employ of one of his opponents and I was startled that he broached the topic, but I grabbed Ken Hoagland who was in the room and suggested to Senator Biden that Ken could answer questions better than I.
Now that Mr. Biden is the Vice President he certainly has the president’s ear and like John McCain often quipped, nothing to do all day except break ties in the Senate and ask about the president’s health. I think it would be a great time for the American people to help him learn about the FairTax. He would have nothing to lose by listening, and with his background and ideology, he may well become the strongest ally the FairTax can hope for in today’s Democratic leadership.
What do you’all think about a national letter-writing campaign to the VP?

As I understand the Convio system, it could easily be programmed to ask all FairTaxers to click a link to send Joe Biden a message asking him ot sit down with Mr. Hoagland or some other non partisan representative. It may not get a million hits, but it will likely be enough to get his attention.

WE do not have the convio system in place everywhere... This is probably the best way to move forward today with this.
The only way I know to get it done would be to go to AFFT and ask them to do it.
I think going directly to Biden is the right way to do it. It would also fit in with his "middle class" message. -
