Comment by Frank Gilbert on December 17, 2011 at 10:40pm: Walt Bagley has a great idea.
Phone calls to a Congressional office get answered by one clerk and recorded on a log sheet. That sheet gets looked at to see what areas received the most calls or other activity. It only effects one person in the office for a few seconds. Think about something else.

If you prepare a short letter to the congressperson and FAX it to the office. (still a phone call expense) A clerk in the office must pick up the fax and read through it in order to log it in. Then what do they do with the letter? Pass it along to the tax staff person to respond? If an office is flooded with faxes, someone must refill the paper in the machine, there would be stacks of paper produced to be handled and filed etc. This would create more activity in the office than just making a phone call and maybe get more of an impact.

This is something we could work on here next year folks. Look for it in an upcoming meeting.

Comment by Frank Gilbert on December 16, 2011 at 10:11pm: On 12-15-11 the Fairborn Daily Herald posted state director Steve Curtis latest column "Congress and the FairTax". Well worth the read. The newspaper also published a letter to the editor from Bill Teti (Fairborn resident and FairTax friend) regarding the FairTax.

12-16-11 the Fairborn Daily Herald has a commentary on the editorial pages by a guy name of William Rice regarding taxes and the "rich". The title is "the rich don't need a free ride" and may be found on www.otherwords.org WARNING, he is a leftie!!

Lastly, I just want to point out that our local hometown newspaper is continuing to do its job by keeping the tax reform issue alive. Do we know any other paper that is doing this? I sure don't.

Comment by Frank Gilbert on December 13, 2011 at 8:10pm: Dec. 9, 2011 Fairborn Daily Herald "FairTax Column" by Steve Curtis (state director) was a very timely one. The FairTax and how it could effect our Christmas shopping. Hopefully, its recieved some attention and generated some thinking. Don't forget, you can go to www.ohfairtax.org and see previous columns. Go ahead and use them. That's what they're there for.

The paper was also great about making sure they put in my announcement of no meeting this month because of the Christmas holiday season. Looking forward to January already!

Comment by Frank Gilbert on December 2, 2011 at 9:46pm: Today, in the Fairborn Daily Herald appears my favorite Steve Curtis column. If you don't get the drift here, you aren't ever going to understand the need for the FairTax. Entitled "The Income Tax: Revanue raiser or tool of tyrants", this eye opening column should be shared around the nation. If you'd like to read it (and you really should), go to www.ohfairtax.org in a couple of days and click on "fairtaxfacts" Well worth the time my FairTax friends!!!

Comment by Frank Gilbert on December 2, 2011 at 5:32am: I've done that before with the "fact cards". It didn't go over as well as I'd hoped. I like the sticker idea real good. I'll have to try that one. did you ever notice who is most offended by them? Sigh, will they ever change?

Comment by Steve Curtis on November 30, 2011 at 12:44pm: How could anyone be offended by a Christmas card with a little FairTax sticker? If asked, I'd like to know why that person thinks they have "control" over me and the things I believe in. All too often, when we someone who is "offended", it is because our message is getting in the way of what they want to do, and censorship and guilt are just tools they are using.

Comment by Billie on November 30, 2011 at 9:26am: Hi Rachel, I think you have a good idea. All of my friends know I like FairTax; so if they are affended by my Christmas Card having a FairTax card included they really aren't my friend.

Comment by Rachel Hoadley on November 30, 2011 at 8:28am: Hope you, Frank, and Connie have a wonderful Christmas, too and everyone else as well. Do you think it is too tacky to put Fair Tax cards in my Christmas cards? I send out 50 cards each year and my daughter says one of my Christmas letters affended everyone. But I had fun doing it.

Comment by Frank Gilbert on November 29, 2011 at 9:45pm: Just want to remind everyone we will NOT have a Fairborn FairTax meeting this month. It is a time for family and reflection. Connie and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with all your desires fullfilled. And have a safe and happy New Year. And we hope you will rejoin us in 2012.

Comment by Frank Gilbert on November 24, 2011 at 8:33pm: I have to apologize. I was planning on heading out to the stores tonight to pass out some FairTax information. But I found myself unprepared because I didn't have enough material to pass out. I went to print some out and my printer and it screwed up. So I ain't going out tonight. But I am going to go out this season and pass stuff out. Hope someone can join me then.
