WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?

I’ve had a lot of conversations over the past week asking me just exactly what the big deal is about the announcement we made about Congressman Souder signing on as a co-sponsor.

WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?...


We are one congressman closer to forcing the Speaker to open debate on H.R. 25. We are one congressman closer to making the FairTax a news story that can’t be ignored. We are one congressman closer to making all of our hard work for the FairTax pay off. We are one congressman closer to slipping our National neck out of the noose of a tax code that has been choking productivity, innovation, efficiency and motivation for nearly one hundred years. That noose has tightened so much in this economic downturn that it is dangerously close to accomplishing that which a noose is designed for. Our tax code is on the verge of killing our economy entirely. Not just hampering our economy but bringing it to a screeching halt. There are congressman starting to wake up to this fact and that is turning the tide in favor of our cause.

THAT IS A BIG DEAL…


As a grassroots movement, we rely entirely on volunteers to take the message to their friends and family. They are depended on to man booths at fairs, speak to groups, do radio and print interviews, and provide all the resources that it takes to get all these things done. They… you… pass out flyers, put the bumper stickers on your cars, put the signs in your yards, do the sign waves, attend the rallies, and promote the movement on different websites and blogs all over the internet.

All of that work can be tedious and thankless. A lot times it seems like we are not getting anywhere. It feels like we are spinning our wheels. The efforts that were spent bringing Congressman Souder on board paid off! It showed that perseverance and hard work still get things accomplished. It showed that grassroots efforts can rise up out of nowhere and change things… even things that have been choking our prosperity for a century.

THAT IS A BIG DEAL…


Congressman Souder coming on board strengthened our movement. We now have better than fifteen percent of the House of Representatives on our side. That is almost one in five congressmen saying that it is time to FIX the problem! They are saying that it is time to jumpstart our economic engine and put us back on top. They are saying that it is time to bring back the “MADE IN AMERICA” label. They are saying it is time to give you back control of your financial future. They are ready to finally cut the legs out from under the tax lobbyists and power brokers in Congress that pick the winners and losers. They are the leaders of a growing group of lawmakers that are ready to set our financial ship right.


AND YES…

THAT IS A BIG DEAL!
