    Marilyn,

    Thank you for the correspondence. I am very new at this, but we are trying to get something started in the Green Bay, WI area.

    Hi Marilyn,
    Are you the webmaster for Fair Tax Nation? I will be posting the radio appearances of Ken Hoagland and did a tril run to see what problems I have (such as reducing the size of the graphic) I have finished and am all set to post the announcements as they come to me. If you are the webmaster and want to remove the test announcement I put up it would probably be appropriate.
    Thanks for your kind help.

    Thanks Marilyn for removing the test.
    I cannot take on any more, sorry. I am getting over a cancer operation that has restricted my activities and I agreed to take on this one project. That is all I can handle now. I spend most of my time trying to get the VA to approve a disability pension and the research totally absorbs most of the time I have.
    Thanks for understanding.

    Hi! Glad I was shown this site. It looks like it will be fun and interesting. I have been involved with The FairTax for about 4 years now, spreading the word. I enjoy it. I have already told some friends about FairTax Nation... I hope they join. An Idea... one thing I do to stir the pot is get on to AOL and find a political page that people are posting on and try to relate the story to The FairTax... I tell you ... there are are a lot of people that don't know FT but think they do. John

    Morning! I am new to the organization/web site and I will be trying my best to get the word out. My main concern, being new, trying to get to information. If I go to the groups I have search around concerning, who is district, then local. I know we can set up our own page, but hate to say it but can it get organized by state, start witht he 50, then by district/county, each showing the coordinator then the total number of members, somewhat like an organization chart. Then under each state/county publish meetings/radio stations etc in that area. I have been in the computer field for sometime (1968 started keypunching) and retired from federal, if I can help be glad too. My forte is not websites though, but I can read an IBM manual.
  • Norman Simms

    Marilyn:

    Just a thought. Any chance to show the state where the member lives when you highlight the pic in the Nation member site. This would help send a message to ask them to join the sub groups
  • Glen E Leirer

    Marilyn; My intent was not to recruit form your site, Earl was trying to get in touch with me. He has the ability to work both sites.

  • Tom Freeman

    How do I join the Leadership group on this site?
  • Scott Bankston

    Thank You... After reading the Fairtax book, I wanted to find some people with the same views as I do.
  • Beryl Nichols

    Marilyn, you need a portrait. The turtle does not do you justice. Do you want me to come to your rescue with a portrait? The turtle doesn't even know what a smile is.
  • Beryl Nichols

    The turtle may have won the race but people would like to see who created this wonderful site! You have a face for a reason....smile with it! This is a great site. I cant believe I missed it for so long. See you soon.
  • Ken Neikirk

    Thanks for the welcome Marilyn.

    I had an idea of finding supportive businesses and asking them to put a sticker on the window of their store that would say something like:
    Proud Supporter of the:
    Fair Tax (but with the Fair Tax logo)

    What do you think?
  • Fla Vol

    Marilyn,
    I have been trying to post a graphic (scanned as a jpeg) on the radio event postings. I have tried several formats but cannot seem to get all of it to fit. Do I have to go very small? I have tried to have a larger canvass and smaller image and I keep it below about 5 inches.
    Any suggestions? Thanks, Stew

    Hi Marilyn.

    Unfortunately, I won't be making it to CPAC in Feburary. Not sure where you heard that I was but I can't break away right now.

    I hope it goes well... and a BIG THANKS to you for all that you are doing to help get the FairTax visibility!

  • Dr. Bill Smith / Ozark Guru

    Marilyn, Sorry to hear about your two sons. Where are they in W. KY? Do they have families? Has their power been restored or have they relocated relocated? What ever info you wish to share.

    You would normally expect the weather in Oak Forest, IL to be worse than we had. Strange weather!
  • Earl Mathews

    Morning! How do you join the leadership, such as local coordinator?
    I have requested and no response. Is there an individual or an email to send to someone? I know you may not be the one but, help!
  • Chris

    thanks for the welcome Marilyn.

    I would like to speak to someone about possibly doing promotional items for the fair tax movement, as I am an art director for a company that specializes in such.
  • Chris

    our website is www.cotapaxi.com

    we have a lot of custom stuff as well that we would love to mock up and present to you.
  • Pamm Garber

    I signed up for the weekend event at Wal-Mart for my county (Feb 28) on Facebook. Our local GOP may also have a Fair Tax Rally and was looking for bumper stickers or other things to hand out at the rally...not sure where to get them without purchasing...CafePress is a bit expensive.

  • Ryan

    Thank you very much.

    Have you thought of a motorcycle ride in support of the FairTax?

    I'm ready to help any way I can - have been quite a fan of the FairTax for several years now!

  • Ryan

    fantastic! Thanks!!
  • Andy Withers

    Hi Marylin, I attended the rally in Columbia, SC last year, and I would be delighted to attend one in DC. I sure hope that happens!

  • Dave Sibole

    Congratulations to you and Fair Tax Nation in reaching the 1000+ so quickly. You have put your heart and soul into it (the Fair Tax as a whole) and it shows. You are greatly appreciated.

    Dave
  • Dustin

    Marilyn, one thing that people have pointed out to me is that the actual bill is sometimes not easy to find. Making the fairtax official language more obvious on the homepages might help a little bit.
  • Michelle Spurlock

    thanks, it's great to be a part of the nation now!
  • Bob Martin

    Marilyn,
    Where can we find this spread sheet that Jabari is talking about with the ways and means committee members info?

  • steve pendergrast

    Sounds like the project goal for the 50 state campaign is on target for making Fairtax a reality.Glad to be a part of it.

    Just in case you haven't talked to Glenn, we DO have wireless at the library so you'll be able to use that at the meeting.
  • Colin Ashley

    Thanks Marilyn!
  • Fla Vol

    Marilyn,
    I resolved my problem with the graphic for the radio show postings. I rte-scanned the graphic on a piece of colored paper and cropped it with a wide border. The site is now cutting off a little of the border but all the graphic shows.

  • Robert Steele

    Thanks, I don't have alot of time, but will do what I can.
  • Mike Pool

    Marilyn, see below from Andy.

    At 8:48am on February 12, 2009, Andy Withers said… Hi Mike & Marilyn,
    Now I understand the meaning of the word "indirect" as used here. Thanks! It makes sense. But I suspect that lots of other folks will see the word and will also not know the meaning, since it is not a common terminology not clearly defined somewhere obvious. So it will look like a kind of "code word"- something meant to obfuscate a true meaning. Is that what we really want in a front-page banner for newbies to trip over? -Andy

    I have asked Andy to leave comments on your page if he has more as I am having to cut and paste your conversations.

    Hi Marilyn, I have joined the FairTax groups on facebook and myspace. I have post bullitins on each site for over a year. I really tried to get Linder when he was my representive in the 90's to really campaign on this issue in GA. I know he has done alot since then. I have met and work on his campaign and work with his wife on other projects. I have been disabled since 1995 and have only helped with mail-in petitions, and e-mails to State and Federal Reps. I will help as much as I can but I am limited! Just let me know what you need and I will do the best I can! Blessings! Judy
  • Mike Pool

    Marilyn, I am fine with the current wording. Andy is in advertising so he would be the best one to talk to...I am in sales and will work with what you guys provide:)
