Frank Dean Kocian would like to be your Friend.

This week was very active for the FairTax locally. We did visits with both Congressman Austria's staff and A Senator Brown staffer. Both meetings were attended by state director Steve Curtis who did nothing short of a fantastic job countering arguememnts and concerns expressed by their offices. While both meetings started off with a somewhat lackluster attitude by both parties, Steve had them paying attention very rapidly. We'd also like to thank others who showed up in support and made various points along with Steve. They are Fairborn councilman Frank Cervone, Phil Claypool, Bob Whigham, my wife Connie and myself. We'll keep this site posted as to what we hear from them as soon as we get something back.
We also attended the Greene County Republican luncheon held on Monday of this week. We are planning on a presentation to them in June or July. There were already several people there who know about the FairTax, but more who did not. We are scheduled for July but will be ready in June as a backup plan should there speaker for that meeting not make it.
Last but not least, we are having our Fairborn monthly meeting this evening at Roush's. Make it as you can.

Thanks, Frank

Hi Dustin, Its been a while since our first meeting and I was pretty green then (not much difference now lol). But as I recall, we did an overview of the FairTax and a Q & A along with a discussion of what it was we wanted to accomplish with these meetings. There are a couple of things you can do additionally now such as letting people know how much we have grown in the last few years, what the scorecard count is, and getting people to be involved in writing letters and making calls to political leaders and newspapers.
Good Luck and keep us all posted on how its going.

Frank, I am preparing to hold a FT meeting at our local library in two weeks, along with a teaparty. Can you please share with me what your agenda was for your meeting, and what the discussion led to? thanks!

I haven't had any further personal contacts with Austria, although I have sent several fax/email regarding various doings of Congress. Getting together with him or his staff sounds like a good idea. We just have to set up a time/place.

When I made the DD map, Tony had not decided what, if any, role he was going to play. I am still not sure but, now that he is no longer running for BC council, I'll try to find out.
Thanks

Can the event at Signatures Gourmet Coffee be deleted? It is my understanding it has been moved. If it needs to be deleted you can do it or I will if you want. Just let me know. Just trying to keep everything current.

Frank, I just checked events and your meeting is NOT listed.

It's good to have you here, Frank

I've recieved alot of responses from my request about who it is. What I'm wondering is ,Has anyone wrote or e-mailed the RNC to ask that this guy be made the Chair? If you haven't, I urge you to do so ASAP!!

Thanks, Frank

I don't have any sites or supportive material but just hear say, that you are right about the RNC candidate that supports the Fair Tax is the guy from Michigan.

Hi Frank, thanks for joining the Beavercreek meeting group. I am hoping that when we have a meeting, if it is on short notice, we can just send a message to all of the members. That is why I started this group. I talked to Phil and he is going to get on his website and try to get it constructed while he is recoping. Hang in there and thanks for all that you do.

P.S. I love your picture; but where is Connie. We would like to see her, too.

Frank, I just checked events and your meeting is NOT listed.

Hi Frank!

Welcome to FairTax Nation! My hope is we can work together to pass the FairTax ASAP. If you have ideas, suggestions on how we get this done please feel free to share.
Happy New Year!
