 Sunshine (fair weather) patriots: The time is now!
12/5/2006
I am concerned about comments by Ken Hoagland in his latest commentary and opinion article on FairTax.org. Here are the parts that got my attention:
FairTax Central’s last National Call to Action asked supporters to write Rep. Charles Rangel to explain to him the virtues of the FairTax. He is, after all, slated to chair the powerful tax writing Ways and Means Committee.
The response from the grass roots to this latest Call to Action was anemic.
Theories abound: Too many disappointed Republican supporters, too many citizens frustrated that such a common sense proposal as the FairTax has been ignored for so long, or just plain disbelief that we, the people, can actually affect public policy anymore. In the absence of our voice and millions of others, yet to be recruited, we are almost inevitably headed toward that unproductive, partisan food fight over taxes between elected officials pandering either to the right or the left.
Ken Hoagland Commentary
If you haven't written your response to Rep. Rangel yet, please take a few minutes and do it now.
Read the Call to Action on the FairTax website for instructions and guidelines.
It's that important.
