Fair Tax Leadership

Comment

In the last congress the FairTax, HR-25 had (I think 74) cosponsors and in this congress we already have 51. Why is the W & M committee reluctant to bring this legislation up for discussion and a vote?

I like the loser leaves town idea. On another note. I will be at a town hall meeting tomorrow with Rep. Ron Kind (Ways and Means Cmt). Any advice for best questions to ask him?

Any thoughts as to how we could promote this debate idea?

I say we have a loser leave town match.

Rep. Steve King VS. Sen. Arllen Spector!

The loser leaves DC for good!

I really like the idea of a FairTax vs Flat Tax debate. Particularly if it could be in a well attended, open forum such as a University campus.

Debating on the web is fine too, but face-to-face debate provides much more drama and excitement, plus, once it's over, you can always refer to it in future discussions as proof of our convictions and power of our arguements.

OK Guys. I give up :-)
The positives you noted are better than the negatives I was considering. Go for it!

I have been thinking about calling flat taxers out into the open.

I have thought about posting a blog on RedState.com to DARE the most savvy Flat Tax Advocate to take on a respectable FairTax Advocate in an hour long lincoln douglus style debate.

I bet they will have a hard time finding one brave enough.

This would be a great thing to watch.

Larry,

That works well with my plans. I WANT to bring flat tax out into the open...tie it to elected republican sociaists and beat them to death with it.

This is not related to freedomworks, but:

When you guys meet in your local FT meetings, are you sending letters to local representatives? We are meeting again May 7th and plan to all send written letters to our reps. If each district got their reps attention we could really snowball this thing this year.

Jim & Linda,
No doubt the FT outpolls other alternatives. The official position however of Freedomworks is the Flat Tax and by collaborating on their web sites, radio programs, etc. it gives them greater credibiltiy to the uninformed.
FairTax supporters get the picture. They are the choir. It is the ones we want to add to our ranks that could get confused and go with freedomworks.
