Marilyn Rickert

Thanks for the note, Marilyn. Keep up the great work. I'll be doing what I can along the way.

Thank you for you comments Marilyn. Unfortunately, to get the Congress to pass legislation to help the American people one has to bribe them.

AIG executives paid Dodd over $100,000 in 2007 & 2008 in contributions to his presidential bid for office. In return, he added to the bailout legislation, permission for AIG to compensate its executives, some say, to the tune of 218 million dollars.

If enough Fair Tax members could donate to a "Congressional Bribery Fund", then Fair Tax might have a chance at getting their Bills, at least brought up in Congress. I don't know how much it would take but I am sure insiders could give you an educated guess.

Americans better become aware that this country is not even close to being a democracy. Neither the President nor Congress care what the people want or even what is best for the entire Country.

The IRS, like the Federal Reserve are entrenched in the fabric of a fascist government that works 100% for its Special Interest contributors almost ensuring their re-election. We have a hard row to hoe, but I hope Americans, in greater numbers, will get involved and become active in saving this once great Republic.
Thank you for your efforts.

A local ( about 50 min.)event I hope you know about.
Quincy Tax Day Tea Party, Quincy, IL.
April 04, 2009 at Clat Adams Bicentennial Park (riverfront) 1pm
Hope the Fairtax will have a presence there. I was looking on-line for a poster or sign and just for one event I thought 15.99 + 6 or 7 for postage was too high. Will Fairtax have a booth or something ?? To share info and possibly sell signs & posters ?? I know Quincy has a local (7) CBS & (10) NBC network TV stations and that there will be some coverage. Hope this provides you with info ,IF you didn't already know about this.

Thank you and as a fellow citizen hoping to blast the acronym I.R.S off the face of planet Earth; please let me know how I can be of service! =D

Thank you
that would be an honor.
i need to know if there is anyone helping in butler county

i have been sending out the link to my friends

Hey Up! It's cute how ya can leave a comment. I've been kinda doing that very thing on my own. Just viewed RepMicheleBachmannRMinn video on Politico and was going to rant on a blog and plug FairTax. Somewhere i went wrong. I could really use some cheat sheets with names, add's, etc. I also waste a lot of time being computer illiterate so it would help if i could get some help with that. Also, I noticed that I don't want to be hitting the same guys with the same message. Like that last list we got 1 guy shoulda got a thank you not a nag. It took me long to find out what SR503 actually represented. I'm laughing now, but i wasn't then. Looks like a couple-o-kids are game. Dig that Kevin! I'm in Morgan Co, dist25 JohnnyGrant. adios!

Thanks for the hello! I've been involed with the FairTax for about 2 years I belong to GA 7th district FairTax which is John Linder's district, we have a very active group here but I am interested in finding out what is going on in other states, by being a members of this group I think that will help me.

I don't know where you are but we are having a Convoy for the FairTax around Atlanta on May 9. We are trying to get everyone to get involed in this, go to Georgia 7th District Fair Tax Meetup for all the info

Hi, thanks for the comments and the quasi directional "map" for Fair Tax Nation. Thanks to a good friend of mine and his incessant snooping online for "blessed relief", the concept of a fair, simple and transparent taxing system has become a part of our repertoire. We are also a part of the American Tea Party, the New American Revolution, and have been spreading the word about one and all. Just now had time to join FTN. I'm not sure what good I can be toward your goal, as I am one busy designer, but will continue to buttonhole folks who might lend an ear and a hand. Thanks for the welcome!

Marilyn,

Thanks for the welcome. I hope to be able to contribute to the overall advancement of the FairTax cause.

Membership recruitment will certainly be key to our victory.

Thanks again for the contact. Hope to work with you and all the members of the Fairtax Nation to bring about this much needed reform.

Coordially,
Gary L. Wallace

yeah, i have those type things. Like the minute i signed out the other day i saw you were from IL. Then i felt really retarded because i thought you and the other folks were in GA with me.
I lack computer skills. I do want to nag folks from GA & other states. Tried to get in touch with several reps who do not support FairTax, but they were out of my purview and their websites wouldn't allow it. My own GA reps are gung ho on Fairtax so i'm preaching to the choir with them.
I guess what i need is voter registration records, emails of reps that do not support FairTax, other FairTax members emails... I don't know about the voter regist, but it sure seems like we need to be convincing DemSocialist more so than Republocrats.
I don't know what plan B is, but it's my fortune to be up to a plan F or G before i see any luck. In the meantime, i'm practicing computer skills and trying to get to where i was the other day when i found a site that had members from all over. ha, ha. So i got that goin' for me. Probably for the next hour! thanks. adios!
p.s. this is the 2nd time i've sent this. seems like i just sent it to myself. very annoying. sorry.

Thank you for your message. My only question at this time.......why are we not hearing more on the Glen Beck, Brian and the Judge, Mike Huckebee etc. I have written them so many times, I now just copy........

Thanks

Great idea. Instead of editing the list can you add a comment in the email apologizing for the duplicate invite and suggesting instead they invite their friends? Also, how would their "friend" status be recorded?

need volunteers for the Columbia rally April 15th?

Thank you for the warm welcome Marilyn! I am in the middle of planning a Tax Day TEA Party for the 15th of April at 5:30pm in my home town of Martin, TN. It is an interesting endeavor and I am very excited to be a part of something so worth while!

I have never participated in anything political, and in all honesty just plain avoided it whenever possible, however the decisions that are being made by our government for the people of the United States these days are unavoidably being heard by even those like me who try to shy away from such things...

This is why I took on this position... My children are now going to have an opportunity to see what it is like to be an American citizen from a new perspective! I cannot avoid the inevitable any longer... And with so many Americans like myself out there, I intend to send a clear message that EVERYONE can and MUST participate if we are to have our government ever working as it was intended again!

Looking forward to achieving our common goals!
Jennifer Parrish

Marilyn...I am a big supporter of the Fair Tax. Anything that I can do to make the ever looming April 15th Just Another Day...I am all about it!

thank you,we had a wonderful meeting last night and are going to be meeting monthly with the goal of everyone bringing a new person, I have sent the invite out to everyone in my address book and am already getting great replies.

Hi, Marilyn

Was wondering where I can donate to support Fair Tax here in Ohio. Loved the picture of the new billboard! Also, is there anyone near Marion County that could come and show me how to start a meeting? I've got a room at the library to use and there are folks ready to come but I'm not clear on how to run/facilitate the meeting.

Please reset chat.

Thanks, I've been an active FairTax supporter for some time and have been helping my husband, Ray, and the Huntsville group for a couple of years now. It is too important to ignore!

Marilyn, I've signed the agreement paper to become a volunteer community coordinator. Where do I send it? I think Barb Wilson told me to send it to you. Do I just send it to Oak Forest, IL? Just need and address. Thanx!

Thanx, Marilyn, I excited, too! I admit, I balked at being a coordinator because I just wanted to be a gopher. However, there's a need here in Marion and somebody's got to do it. A certain beloved Gov. always says "You be the somebody", so here I am. I'll do my absolute best. This is too serious and urgent a matter to ignore.

I for one would like the rally right like in the worst economic state in the union, Michigan and help us to become the National FairTax poster child.

Thanks for the welcome and the nice words. This is a great forum. Let’s make April 15th just another day!

Marylin, could you let me know when you receive my Vol. Com. Coordinator agreement? Sent it by mail. Thanx.

Looking for a speaker for Columbus Tax Day Tea Party. Event starts @ 6 pm and ends at 7:30 and takes place on the State House lawn. Tea party organizer has extended this invititation. He's a Fair Tax supporter. My phone # 740-386-5313. This is a perfect venue. Sorry such short notice. I just got the invitation today.

thanks, I'll do what I can. I've bought both fair tax books read and passed them on. I push it and drill here drill now every chance I get.

Marilyn,
Is there any way the tri folds available on the main page of FTN could be provided in PDF format? I can't copy them off because I don't have the software. I so want to use this tool in getting the word out! Frankly, I can't afford the software needed for the present formats.

Great! My email address is n.gatchel@verizon.net - thank you! I really need those tri folds and any other fliers I can get my grubby little mitts on!

Thank you! Should I have an ID badge made? Let me know if there's anything else I should do.

Looks like we have a lot of work to do here in NM!!!

Thank you, Marilyn, for the welcome to the group. Is there anything going on for the FairTax in Orlando today? I couldn't make it to Jacksonville for the rally.

Marilyn, thanks for e-mailing me back. I have been buying books and passing them to people in the area, went to fair tax web and copyed the thumb nail print and have been pasting them out and selling to people I have meet. I would like to get more materials or help to become a spoke person for this area. I know the books help sale and explain the benfits answer the critics.

Thank you Marilyn for the welcome. I live in two States, Arizona and South Dakota during the summer. I have been telling anyone that I can getto listen about Fair Tax. I will do what I can. A younger sister of mine in Missouri turned me on to this site. Thank you again.

Marilyn you are too much. Thanks for all you do. Billie in Beavercreek

Thank you, Marilyn..I have just sent out 110 invitations..so, maybe we will get a few more..I believe in this cause.and will work hard to help..Debbie

thank you and I will do what ever I can to help

Hi Marilyn,

Keep me posted on how I can help.

Kimberly

Marilyn, I do not want my town listed under my membership but do not know how to take it off. If you could tell me how I would appreciate it.Thanks, Barbara

Thanks Marilyn!

Hi Marilyn!
I'm all in for the Fairtax. I'll put FairTax Nation links on all my sites along with the FairTax.org links. Let me know how I can help advance the cause here in Jacksonville FL. Perhaps you can refer me to my local FairTax Nation folks.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Marilyn,
Thanks for the welcome and if FTN needs any volunteers for other areas (support, video, new media etc) feel free to ask, I would love to volunteer my help.

Chris

I am having trouble getting connected with FairTaxers in the Metairie/New Orleans area. I saw the large crowd at the Veterans/Causeway Tea Party. How do I get in touch with people in this area.
Thanks.
Dianne

Thanks! Keep me posted

Marilyn,
Thank you for the welcome message. That is great information and I hope we meet our goal of 50,000 volunteers. Please keep me posted.

That's a good idea. If any members have video from past events we can use that to make the video more compelling. We can also use it to promote the types of activities and events that we want to organize and execute. I would be happy to be involved. On emore thought, these videos should be seeded throughout the social media sites in addition to FTN's. The more exposure the better.

Marilyn,

I would like to alert you that we have someone spreading misinformation about the FairTax on our site.

Hank Van Gieson is clearly an opponent of the FairTax as is evidenced by his Twenty Two FairTax Criticisms by Hank Van Gieson.

I have encountered Hank before. Trying to follow up on a blog in order to keep the truth in check is time consuming. I have asked him to not comment on my blogs going foward. If he does I will ask you to ban him from the site.

Best,

Art Villa

Marilyn,
Thanks for the note.
Peter Locke

Hi, Marilyn

I like the radio ad you sent me. Is our organization a 501C3 organization? If so, can I have permission to use this ad on the local radio station here in Ohio? From what I understand, this ad is eligible for public service announcement status.

Fill me in. Tell me everything I need to know. There are several programs on the Marion (Ohio) local stations that provide us with a perfect opportunity, I think.

Thanks, Marilyn!
