I only have an AAS degeree, I know many of you have more college education than that but one of the things that was stressed in several courses was goal setting, I'm possitive that has been the case in many of your courses as well. Especially in business management classes. If the Fair Tax has set goals each year they have kept them a secret, I've been on their mailing list for years and I've never seen specific goals laid out. I have mentioned a more "organized" approach several time and sort of rebuffed saying this is a grassroots movement. What is to say grassroots can't organize into beautiful sod? There are a couple of states that seem to be organized on the state level and that is commendable. Can we make it 50 states in 2009?
Please respond and let's make this happen.

There will never be a way to say something that meets the reception requirements of everyone. This FT Add was in the "Investor's Business Daily". Those people get it. Communications need to be at this level too for this is where the money is to help support us.
That being said, I would not use this for general public distribution for all the reasons Jeff enumerated.

I can't read the thing even with my glasses on.
We can use the trifolds for the "bumper sticker" quotes and use this to get more into the weeds with people who want to know more.

Jeff, I agree completely. It is the reason why we did not run these ads in our local paper. We use a business card with the basic concepts of rebate, no filing taxes and more take home pay. This gets them to a presentation where the DVD and some explaining drives more of the details home. It's easy enough to sell to someone who understands business concepts but it must target a more general audience. If I remember, someone once told me the news is written so an eigth grader can understand.
Good luck to all today. I've dubbed today our "Surge".

I just got the Fair Tax Flier for the Tea Parties. It looks a bit long for standard paper, but the e-mail says that it can be resized. We'll see.
I'm disappointed that it is so long and contains words & concepts that the "average" voter may not understand. The ones we need. The ones who voted based on 3 words and nothing else..
I've watch the movie Erin Brokovich a couple of times over the last few weeks. There is a message in it that I hope, one day, the higher ups in the FT movement understand. It's to keep things simple. The scene was when this educated lawyer tried to talk about "arbitration" and Erin said, these people won't understand that. The scene went from there, and if you haven't watch that movie, you should.
My point can be summed up with the following graph: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/28/Educational_attainment_copy.jpg
Whether we like it or not, less than 30% of Americans have a 4 year degree from College. So when we talk about "ending corporate & capital gains taxes" & "Consumers become stakeholders", we are wasting our breathe. I know it sounds ridiculous to everybody reading this that people don't understand these terms. But "TRUST" me!! My business is dealing with the public and people do not understand this stuff. They understand, "Hey, how would you like a refund on the taxes you paid if you made less than (enter figure here)". They don't understand "permanent tax relief" because most of them don't understand that they are paying taxes in the 1st place.

Dave, The gentleman on BDD also made this comment about tax changes, "It should boost incentives for average Americans to increase
savings and investments, and help them participate more fully in the upside of economic growth." Another oppurtune spot to reinforce what the FairTax does for the middle class concerning savings and investment when you have choices you can make.

I'm in. I will start communicating the next time a reply is made to this series of emails.
We should get David from NC to help with this.... He is a Dem as well.

i belong to the Blue Dog Democrat YAHOO Group and I've posted several times on it about the Fair Tax with no response but today someone else posted a negative and I responded and got some followup positive remarks in return. A good sign not all Democrats believe the Fair Tax is partisan. Also at events party affiliation is rarely mentioned. We the people of all persuasions, who aren't drinking the kool-aid, can see the Fair Tax is the answer.

Jeff,
My goal is to get people to quit following the crowd and start thinking for themselves.
