Talk shows reach millions of people daily. Members of Congress and the President are even engaging in public dialogue with them (on issues relevant to the FairTax!). While Neil Boortz has a large audience, wouldn't our message be amplified significantly if it came through many others as well? Several (Sean Hannity, Herman Kaine, etc....) support it. But, I don't think many of them are talking about it as an alternative to the "Stimulus Bill" going through Congress. Why don't we start a campaign with them?
Here's an email I just sent to the Glenn Beck show:
Dear Glenn:
I've been listening to your show for several years now, and recently read, An Inconvenient Book. In my opinion, you have truly done an amazing job of illuminating facts and issues which have been completely ignored by the mainstream media and even other talk shows. The persistent attention you are paying to this "economic meltdown" and related issues is helpful and important. You've done an excellent job of breaking down the issues to an understandable level and pointed out the flaws of what is being done.
But I am curious as to why the FairTax is never (or rarely) mentioned on your show? It is such an obvious alternative stimulus to this fiasco Bill being shoved through Congress. The FairTax proposal comports precisely with the principals and ideals you espouse. At a minimum, it is at least worthy of discussion.
Are you familiar with it? (It has been introduced as a Bill in both Houses of Congress.) Would you be willing to bring someone (much smarter than me) onto your show to discuss it? I know the subject of taxes isn't "sexy," but I think your audience is paying attention to what's going on and would not turn the dial. You've got a multitude of high profile people in the news who can't seem to figure out the tax code (not to mention the guy, as you pointed out, who now oversees the IRS). April 15 is approaching--taxes are on people's minds. And what's most important and relevant is that this would be a true stimulus package, and as a bonus it would double as unprecedented governmental reform.
Please consider it.
I hope to hear from you.
Craig Robertson
It's just an idea, but it might work!
