President Obama’s new policy on medical marijuana brings to mind the old saying: even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in while. That was back when you could say “blind” and “acorn” was only a single nut, not an organized mob of them.

Let’s give credit where credit is due – the President’s decision to discontinue federal prosecutions of medical use of marijuana is practical,… Continue

Tonight the call came...

Hello, This is so and so from Congressman Hasting's and we would like you to donate $75 for his campaign. Me...choke, choke, choke...gasp, deep breath.

To which I shared I had a bone to pick and explained the FairTax and that due to his uncosponsorship of the legislation I will NOT be donating to his campaign and if there were someone running against him who endorsed the FairTax that person would have my vote.

"But he is for less spending and ... and.... and.... (Charlie'… Continue

I believe I found a better way...

Fellow FairTax Nation Patriots… I am one of you and I found something amazing that I need to share. It may be for all or it may only be for just some. So come along and have some fun.

I joined FairTax Nation in January 2009. I have to think I was one of the first 1,000 members… perhaps even one of the first 100 members.

I sat and with you (in spirit) the year prior and watched the 2008 presidential primaries… how our mainstream media picked our presidential candidates for… Continue

National Spokesman or National Spokesmen team?

In discussing a National Spokesman with many of you, the idea has arisen that a team of spokesmen may be preferable. We need a very visible presence in the media and it may be more effective the have a team economists, CPAs, parents, etc. available to speak to the issues surrounding the FairTax. For example if the subject is small business - a small business owner may be our best spokesman.

What do you think?

Say What??

I am not usually given to posting things that are not strictly related to the FairTax. However, I think you will agree there are tax implications in this video.

The video might be a little dated - I believe it goes back to 9/16 - but if you've not seen it, you might find it worth your while to watch it.

NOTICE THAT THIS WAS REPORTED ON CNN, NOT FOX!!!

Counting Snouts

http://timnerenz.com/content/counting-snouts

In my speech at the AFP Town Hall Meetings in August, I used the phrase “snouts in the trough” to describe trial lawyers and malpractice insurers. An apology is owed; no, not to them, but to all the other snouts who were not given their due.

When I go to see my doctor, he spends a few minutes with me reviewing my vitals, asking how… Continue

10 for 10

We need to find a way to get the flat tax off the 10 for 10 and the fair tax on it. I e-mailed the Laura Ingram site but no response.

Zappers: Follow me!

I am one of the “transfers” from Zap the IRS where I am the Fiscal Agent. My hope is to honor the great efforts of John Hanson, a pioneer in Ning-based social networking websites in support of the FairTax, by contributing my support to FairTax Nation. I urge all my Friends (and their Friends, and ….) to follow me.

saving on taxes

I am a stay at home mom and have just begun a new job working from home. One of the concerns of being self-employed is the high rate of taxes that I will pay. I have looked into a Health savings account, IRAs for college, and other ways to make the most of the money that I will make. Any tips or advice is welcome... Thanks!

where do we go from here ?

get on more talk radio, you need to get Rush #1 or Savage # 2 to back it and talk about it more often .

Savage is the better choice,

Why ?

because he does not say demeaning about those of us who are not RICH.

Hello, there are millions and millions of hard working Americans who do not make over $75,000 per year.

Rush and Bortz have BOTH made derogitory remarks about the working class/ working poor, that we are lazy or a bunch of slackers.

Savage… Continue

Where do we go from here

For my part, I am continuing participation in our local FairTax group, including passing out literature at fairs and rallies; writing and visiting representatives, and speaking at various groups. I am also active in our local Liberty Group/Tea Party as a FairTax supporter, speaking to these groups about the FairTax. I have also joined a group of mostly small business owners which has the aim of taking back the Republican Party for conservatives. Educating these people about the FairTax and… Continue

Be ready to talk about the FairTax

You have probably been getting updates from AFFT in Houston regarding the big media and membership push. Once this gets going we will not stop until the FairTax is the law of the land. This campaign will kick off as soon as they finish the fundraising necessary, which should be very soon. Perhaps a month or less.

We have to be ready at the grassroots level. We need to take an inventory, so to speak, of those among us who are willing to be speakers at meetings and gatherings. As the… Continue

FairTax movie

Greetings all FairTaxers:

What if someone could make a movie about the Fair Tax? A documentary or something like that? Maybe we could get somebody like Michael Moore to get in on it. He has made some great documentaries, like "Fahrenheit 911", etc. A movie would certainly publicize it like nothing else could. People love movies and will pay to see one. Imagine the headline in the movie section of newspapers saying something like: "See the latest movie about the greatest thing to ever… Continue

18 Means 18

http://timnerenz.com/content/18-means-18

It is wrong for the government to deny rights of seniors solely on the basis of their age; equally wrong for juniors, sophomores, and freshmen.

There is no principled reason to deny adults the right to choose for themselves whether to drink alcohol or not. This is a matter of personal preference and belief.

Rights aren’t rationed out like some… Continue

Aftermath of Washington D.C. 9-11 Trip

As some of our constituents knows I made a last minute decision to go to Washington for 9-11 and the 9-12 March. Let me start on 9-11 and the events that happened. As I write this blog I want to include what was discussed in a two hour closed door meeting in a Congressional Office. I want you to know that all Legislators where "out of town".
