Fair Tax Supporter Timothy Delasandro Will Run for TX 17th Seat

I have been informed by Timothy Delasandro he will be running for the Congressional seat in the Texas 17th district against Chet Edwards . Mr. Delasandro has assured me he will actively support The Fair Tax if he is elected. You may want to give him some encouragement and thanks. His website is www.TimothyDelasandro.com. Per his email to me:

Does "actively support" mean he will become a cosponser?
Below is an excerpt of an email he sent me:

" I read the book, I’m a candidate for Congress in 2010, and it’s an announced position of mine. I would love to defeat liberal democrat Chet Edwards for Congress in 2010 here in Texas. On my positions page on my campaign website, I list the FairTax as one of my held positions (on the FAQ page, I state that it is the FIRST piece of legislation that I will support)."
Dan,

I checked out his website. And while it is one of his position, he does not say he will become a cosponser. I would kind of like to see that in writing - not that I can vote for him anyway, it would just give me a "warm fuzzy"
Please have him contact me, if he will.

We can nail things down as to what kind of support he will give FairTax.

Timothy contacted me via email at FreeRepublic.com. His screen name is ziravan. I just sent him an email through the site asking him to contact you once he registered as he informed me he would join. I know you are also registered at FreeRepublic. You could email him through the site to ensure you two connect.
I'm Timothy Delasandro. I WILL absolutely be a co-sponsor of FairTax. If you live in my district, you know that Chet Edwards beat up our last candidate on this very issue 3 weeks before the election. Sadly, he did not have the resources to respond. Even more sadly, Edwards used every FairTax smear he could fit into a 30 second ad. I fully intend to be prepared to use the FairTax as a center-piece of my campaign. We must be a nation of savers and givers INSTEAD of borrowers and spenders. To do that, we must encourage saving. Also, we must end the power base in Washington that is the tax code. When Edwards comes on strong with his FairTax smears in 2010, I intend to have the resources to respond - and supporting the IRS is not a very popular position.

To answer the question: YES. I will co-sponsor FairTax! I will run on it, extensively. It is a center piece of my platform.
Thank you for your reply Timothy - you have my support. Since I live in Florida I can't vote for you but I will make a small donation to your campaign - you're going to need it.

I'm sure you are expecting, as I am, Mr Edwards to run the same 30 second smear ad against the Fair Tax - I think you will need a counter ad in response, but don't run it until after Edwards shows his hand. Meanwhile, if you haven't already done so, I suggest you watch the "FairTax - Its Time" video (near the bottom of the main page). I also suggest you embed the link for the video on your website and encourage your voters to watch it.

Thank you for your support of the Fair Tax. If you believe there is any other way that I can help - just ask.
I will contact you later today as you requested.
