You Can Help Save the Nation For Tax Day 2009, we're collecting names to send a message to President Obama about the FairTax, the real stimulus package America needs now more than never. You can make a difference by raising your voice for the FairTax during this critical time for our country.
Help us send a powerful message to the White House: Read the "Save the Nation" petition to the right and add your name below.

During your campaign, you talked about changing how Washington does business. We, the undersigned, also believe in the need for change. We embrace throwing off "politics as usual" and want to help you change Washington, D.C. to better serve public interests.
We believe that a government, “Of the people, by the people, for the people,” not lobbyists, political favors, and special interests was the original vision of our Founders.
We believe that the American economy—facing its greatest peril in generations—requires a real and permanent economic stimulus package that will create jobs, drive investment, and maintain the United States as the world’s leading economy in the 21st-century, and beyond.
We believe that there is another way that is far healthier and more positive to heal our economy without the massive borrowing and spending that will have harmful effects on our economy for generations to come.
We believe that our thoroughly researched solution will have immediate and long lasting benefits to our economy and to the relationship of the citizen to government.
To address these challenges, we believe the FairTax is the change we need.
Whereas millions of Americans cannot pay their bills and risk foreclosure:
The FairTax ensures that American workers will see a huge boost in their take-home pay as all federal withholding and payroll taxes are eliminated—enough to save their homes and pay mortgage bills, thereby addressing the underlying cause of this economic meltdown, not just the symptoms.
Whereas Washington is financing its spending programs with trillions in debt:
The FairTax eliminates capital gains and corporate taxes making the US the most favorable business environment in the world. That means new jobs right here in America, higher wages and a stock market that goes up instead of down—without massive borrowing.
Whereas the poor and middle-class continue to struggle to make ends meet:
The FairTax removes federal taxes on the poor and the middle-class sees dramatic reductions in tax burdens under the FairTax. The “Made in America” label roars back with needed jobs and better wages and benefits.
Whereas tax lobbyists peddle their enormous influence in Congress and exert undue influence over the income tax code’s 67,500 pages of regulations, for which Americans spend $300 billion annually in tax preparation costs:
The FairTax is simple, transparent and fair. The tax base is expanded, special favors for tax lobbyists end and April 15th becomes just another spring day.
Be it therefore resolved that the FairTax deserves support by your administration to create a tax system that provides real and permanent economic stimulus effects that our nation, our citizens and children need and deserve.
It’s a waste to send anything to Hussein, beings that he wants to totally destroy this country, and isn’t about to consider anything that might do it some good.
Obama should love it.
If we can focus on the prebate and change its name to something that the socialists will buy into, such as basic living allowance. Along with convincing them to eliminate Social security, SSI, welfare,food stamps and all other transfer type payments. After all one should not require assistance beyond the basic living allowance which is provided to every American citizen over the age of 15. Please note aliens illegal or otherwise need not apply. And if for health care reform it was mandated to the states since every state is a large enough group to maintain insurance on all thru funding of their choice. The federal socialists could have their cake and eat it too every citizen would get a check or a credit to their “citizen” card which could also double as their voting ID card. The other benefit of this would be that it would no longer “profit” mothers to crank out babies to increase benefits as no benefits accrue til the child is 15 and of a mind to spend it for themselves. We could even lower the voting age to 15. It would be hard to obtain citizenship but anyone would be free to come work and pay in taxes via their purchases including purchases of remittances to send home. Most federal workers would be laid off as their programs would vanish but not to worry they still have their basic living allowance. Congress would also be pressed to live on their basic living allowance with dorm stlyle housing for those few days their presence in DC would be required.
Irwin Schiff fought and suffered for this most of his life!
Thanks for the headzup, Man50D.
Went there, did that!
Like Obama cares. After all “I won”

I signed it and also sent him a personal email through the White House website.
If this is Cong. Linder’s Fair Tax which bill I have read, then I would remind people that there will be a bureaucracy to collect the tax on all goods sold, in addition to any local tax collecting efforts. On the other hand, you are right, there would not be the base payment to people not legally registered to receive it. This would certainly have an interesting effect on illegals, and people trying to become citizens legally.
Obama is going to love the “living prebate” welfare check that is part of the fairscam.
