Great speech Jessica. I have only one question. If a republican in the election strongly supports the FairTax and his democrat opponent does not, who do you vote for? I am a lifetime republican and I tell you this, If a democrat candidate comes out in strong support of the FairTax and his republican opponent does not (wether he is an incumbent or not), I will vote democrat. I'm putting my money where my mouth is. Thats something we all need to be willing to do. Please keep up the great work you…

Jessica, thank you for raising our hopes that the FairTax can IN DEED be promoted as a nonpartisan issue. We conservatives need to keep ourselves reminded that while we "say" we want to see more action for the FairTax by those who don't agree with us on social issues, we often "behave" in ways, even at our FT meetings, that are counter productive. Thank you for posting your speech. Jean McCrady, District 4 Director, Alabama

Thanks for that well thought out speech, Jessica. I hope that it serves to enlighten and educate a whole bunch of folks that we need in this non-partisan movement, namely, the Democrats. As many have stated, it does not matter what your political affiliation is, the FAIRTAX will benefit all citizens by eliminating the income tax and a whole bushel basket full of other onerous federal taxes.<br />

<br />
Heck, a person would have to be a bit off mentally to turn down the chance to determine the fate of their paycheck, given the chance to do so.<br />
<br />
Of all the folks that I have talked with over the years about the FairTax, only 2 have ever stated that they wanted to keep the income tax. One was wearing a federal ID badge on his belt loop, and the other did not talk coherently about any other subject, so, I guess he may have been in dire need of some psychological or psychiatric aid.<br />
<br />
Please keep up the good work. President Obama has stated that he desires change, and, I believe that we Americans can provide some significant change with regards to tax policy that would be very beneficial to our country and to our bank accounts. Let's do it now. Thank you, Jessica. As you po…tag:www.fairtaxnation.com,2009-06-28:2636007:Comment:657862009-06-28T14:38:30.571ZDr. William Boykinhttp://www.fairtaxnation.com/profile/DrWilliamBoykin
Thank you, Jessica. As you point out, the FairTax will happen with and only with non-partisan efforts. Your speech reminded me of some divisiveness, minor but still divisive, at rallies here in Florida. I would prefer that we not wear T-shirts with party labels, especially Republican labels. In addition, we should wear no T-shirts with "causes" other than the FairTax. We seem to find many reasons to be different.<br />

<br />
Our well-studied Founders over many years formulated the Constitution to be simple, less than 40 pages, and balanced** in guaranteeing life, property, liberty, and our beneficial pursuits. Some Founders warned against parties and divisive issues.<br />
<br />
The 16th Amendment resulted in imbalance. The FairTax should fix this.<br />
<br />
**A "flaw" in the "census" was in Article I. This Article counted some people as 3/5ths of a person for the purpose of representation and taxes. Great speech Jessica!

Great speech Jessica! Hope you don't mind, but I posted it at FairTaxBlog.com (if you do mind, let me know and I'll pull it).<br />
<br />
You mentioned that you had "written an organizing manual to be used by Fair tax supporters across the country". Could you post a link to the organizing manual? Thanks!

Well done Jessica As a Republican activist, I have been frustrated by the total ideological polarization which prevades our country. You hit the nail on the head when you said we need to ease up on the rhetoric over social issues, and concentrate on our commonalities. The FairTax should be just that! My prayer is that it will not take another world war or great depression, for us to take ownership of the concept of Americans First.

What a great speech! It's nice to hear a democrat speak out for the Fair Tax. Politics does not belong in the fight for the Fair Tax. It is an all-American effort. Thanks for pointing that out.

We sure could use a speaker like you in some areas here in S.C. What we all need to remember is that the Fair Tax bill was co written by a democrat. The debate on how we spend tax dollars will never end in this country, but the debate on how we collect them is a no brainer once we cross party lines to educate all Americans on the Fair Tax.
