A Letter a Day Will Keep that Tax Man Away
Save that apple and feed the brain so you can keep those letters stirring. On Monday write to your Representative in Washington, and then pick up the Senators on Tuesday and Wednesday. Start over on Thursday with the state and district offices.
Combine forces with friends and co-supporters. Have meetings, review responses, and share ideas for new letters. If a congressional leader changes their position, tell the FairTaxScorecard.com so we all will know.
If you have simply run out of things to write, start on the State. What is your Governor’s position? Will your state assemblyman support a resolution directing the state’s delegation to cosponsor the Fair Tax Act of 2005? Is your state assembly ready to repeal the 16th Amendment?
As soon as you receive a response, send another letter. Did they respond to your issues? Respectfully request a proper response! Do they have questions? Offer help to get the answers or voice your own view. Get together in local meetings, official or not, at the Town Hall, Burger King, or in Cyber Space and share the words from congress. Take up a collection at every meeting to send another book to your legislative leaders. Start at the top, hit the district offices, and then cover the Governor and state assemblymen. Check with the FairTaxScorecard.com to see who has and who has not received The Fair Tax Book. Record your current or past submissions so we all know where we stand.
Don’t forget the friends and family program. Prepare a letter for them to sign and mail? What does your bull-headed neighbor think about that brush off response from an uncommitted congress person? Does he like paying more than his fair share of taxes? Go ahead, you know how to push his buttons—just keep him on our side.
I’ve talked to a lot of people doing a lot of different things. Some concede that they have only written a letter or two. Only! Only, a letter or two. I say that is not an only—it is a real something. A letter is a big thing. It is a positive accomplishment. Now do another great thing and write that next letter.
Not much of a writer? No problem. Give them a call or send a card. Let your voice be heard or use a picture postcard of a tea bag to talk a thousand words. Just stand and be counted. Every contribution is a contribution. Thank you so very much.
There are details to work out. Some are major, some are not. Some Senators need longwinded letters with pictures and arrows and a paragraph on the back each explaining what it is. One thing they all need is a simple message from each of us. . .
We are not afraid of the changes that must occur. Please pass the Fair Tax Act of 2005!
