A valiant effort on the part of these statesmen, but it will never see the light of day.
Only takes enough to make a sqeaky door. A commited 1% of the public rattling Congress Critter cages is more than sufficient.

BTW, now is an excellent time to push the issue, in anticipation of April 15th. If I were able to acquire Fair Tax bumper stickers I'd go around and stick them to signs advertising tax preparation services and around post offices. But the folks at Americans for Fair Taxation seem rather stingy with bumper stickers.
