We're working on it. The idea started with a simple book signing for the Atlanta area after the release of the soft-cover edition of The Fair Tax Book. Then we started talking about a venue. Where we we go? A book store? Shopping mall? All the while I have people emailing me begging for some large FairTax rally somewhere.
Frankly, I've been reluctant to endorse the idea of trying to have a large rally. When you have 1000 people crowd a book store to get their FairTax Book signed, the crowd looks huge. When you have 1000 people scattered around a facility that can hold 15,000, the crowd looks anemic. Promoting a large rally for the FairTax and not packing the place full would give the impression that the FairTax doesn't have widespread support.
OK ... what the hell. Let's go for it. Today we're meeting in Atlanta to try to locate the venue and set the date. Target date is May 24th. Why not a weekend? Because at this point all of the venues that we would want to use are booked for weekend events, but we're not adverse to a Saturday evening if the proper place can be found. One thing I'm trying to avoid is a downtown Atlanta location with the attendant parking problems.
More on this later. But if we set this up it then be up to you to show that the FairTax has support. If this works, we could try it in other parts of the country. One thing for sure --- packing eight to ten thousand people into an arena to listen to people rant and rave about taxes would surely send a message." - Neal
