Strong FairTax support will make the difference in the race here, and that could help drive outcome on Super Tuesday the following week.This issue is important that we hope you'll make every effort to attend, even if you're not local.

The FairTax Is A Fascinating Piece of Legislation

I am not sure why President Ronald Reagan has become the symbol of conservatism, and yet he has. Talk show hosts seem to have a Reagan litmus test which they use to judge Republican candidates.

I guess it is what works for them. I wonder if the FairTax would have had a chance under Reagan? I like Reagan, from what I can remember of him.

Anyway, I'll keep looking for an answer to that question. Until then, here is an article by the author of the FairTax House Bill 25 - John Linder.

The FairTax is the most fascinating piece of legislation I have ever seen. I hope you will look into it also. Don't let someone else make your decision for you.

The Saturday Primaries Are Here

Today is do or die for many candidates. Too bad they listened to Washington politics and not to the people they were trying to get to vote for them.

You would think they would each take a page out of history and stand for at least one thing. For example, Lincoln set out to help rid our country of a nasty problem - slavery. Lincoln had a 100 to 1 chance of being elected, yet he prevailed because he knew that injustice is injustice. Sure, the president has to have an overall outlook for leading our country, and no, I am not comparing the unfair taxation of our citizens to slavery. But why not stand for one solid principle and get it accomplished?

I think many politicians try to fix too many things at one time. Why not concentrate on one thing at a time and get it done?

So I harp again - the FairTax is a great place to start in fixing many of our economic problems. Is it a perfect answer? No. But it will eliminate the truck load of paperwork and the building that holds the outline for the current tax code with a very reasonable tax.

For those still wanting to know the "FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including:

• A progressive national retail sales tax.
• A prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level.
• Dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality.
• Repeal of the 16th Amendment through companion legislation."

Let's take back our government and stop letting politicians dictate to us what we need. Call and email your Representatives and Senators today.

A FairTax Leader?

As the results were posted from the Michigan primaries, I heard several different news agencies speak to different Republican candidates. Each time they mentioned that Gov. Romney had the lead in delegates and had one win and two second place finishes. This was news worthy.

But why did they keep asking candidates about Mike Huckabee? I am serious. Each candidate was asked how they could overcome the presence of Huckabee.

So let me ask, if Romney is in the lead, then why is Huckabee a threat? Could it be that he is making a stronger showing than the media can handle?

I think they need to realize that the FairTax is the most radical piece of change being promoted by any candidate. No matter how many plugs each candidate gets, they all role out the same talking points. Yes, we need national defense. Yes, we need to deal with our immigration policies and problems. Yes, we need to get the federal government out of education. But we all know this. But what about having to deal with taxes and how America's current tax system is choking out our economy? It is the economy stupid.

You can ask any of the candidates if they support the FairTax, and they give you their answers. I want to know why people are not asking if the candidates have themselves looked earnestly at the FairTax? Why not? They are fed by the same unchanging dysfunctional lobbying that panders to the beltway politicians who fear they may have to find a new job.

You can contact the top Republican leaders in the Senate and ask why they have bought into the lobbyist who are trying to silence the FairTax. Will you get an honest answer? I do not know. Will you get a lobby answer? You just may.

The FairTax is the best alternative for our tax problems. No one else is coming up with better solutions. They are suggesting bandages, but how long will those hold before the wounds have to be redressed?

We do not need a fix. We need a change.

Herman Cain, highly successful entrepreneur and long-time supporter of the FairTax, spoke at the FairTax Rally held outside Atlanta, Georgia on May 24, 2006. Cain inspired the crowd and empowered them to prove that the FairTax, in fact, can be achieved!

Herman has quickly become one of my favorite people in the world. You can hear his radio show on WSB Radio every night at 7:00 PM.
