I have family in the Pa 3rd district so I wrote Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper (D) a letter asking if she supported the Fairtax. Can anybody tell me what her response means? I thought the H. R. 25 Fairtax bill is alive and well in the 111th congress. Not according to Congresswoman Dahlkemper. Her response is below:

Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 25, the Fair Tax Act of 2009. I am glad you have taken the time to share your thoughts about it with me.
H.R. 25 was introduced by Representative John Linder. The purpose of this bill is to repeal the income tax, employment tax, and estate and gift tax, and poses a national sales tax on the use or consumption in the United States of taxable property or services.
There is currently no legislation on the floor regarding this particular topic. However, please be assured that I will keep your views in mind should the full House consider H.R. 25 in the 111th Congress.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your views with me. I hope that you will continue to keep me informed of your views on this and other issues of interest to you. If you would like to receive my E-newsletter, please sign up at my website at

Member of Congress
