FairTax Rally in Atlanta Draws Overflow Crowd
From an article in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution about last night’s FairTax rally:
About 4,500 raucous tax protesters packed the Gwinnett Convention Center on Wednesday night to hear politicians, musicians and talk show celebrities call for the end of the federal income tax and the creation of a 23 percent national sales tax to replace it. [...]
The size of the “Fair Tax Rally” crowd was so large that event organizers, prodded by a fire marshal, turned away roughly 2,000 rallygoers. Many gathered in the parking lot to listen to the event on radio.
“We’re sorry, next time we’re going to get a bigger room,” said Linder, who spoke from a stage at the front of the 50,000-square-foot room.
“But you are the persistent minority. We have 300 million people in America, and 250 million of them have never heard of the Fair Tax. It’s your job to tell them.”
