Here, Hear!! We elected a new Senator from SC to help us do that. Got an email from fairtax.org today. Here 'tis:
Thank Congressman DeMint.
Congressman Jim DeMint was attacked with anti-FairTax T.V. ads for months. However, like nearly all of our pro-FairTax candidates nationwide - he prevailed on election day with a deciding victory. It was a great day for the FairTax.
We are asking everyone who receives this e-mail to call his office and thank him for his co-sponsorship on the progressive national sales tax - the FairTax. Please let us know you called his office(s) by sending an email to info@fairtax.org with the words "called DeMint" in the subject line.
His DC number is: 202-225-6030
His local district office number is: 864-232-1141 or 864-582-6422.
Time to move on.
We have passed the election and fully overcome an effort by some to use our pristine legislation, HR25 and S1493 as a partisan battering ram on some candidates. It is our belief that we can move on and become the unifying theme for this country and bring everyone together on a non-partisan issue, tax reform, and specifically the FairTax - the progressive national sales tax. Gear up and get ready, the next six months will be our best yet.
What is the FairTax?
The FairTax is non-partisan legislation (HR 25/S 1493) that abolishes personal, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, earned income, and replaces them all with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax. The FairTax dramatically changes the basis for taxation by eliminating the root of the problem: Taxing income. The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend, not on what we earn. It does not raise any more or less revenue; it is designed to be revenue neutral, so it is also price neutral. The final cost for goods and services changes little under the FairTax. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
Let's finish this!

Great!
I think we need to let Bush and Congress know that we favor a fairtax, and push them to go for it boldly.
AND we also need to educate the American people, so they won't be fooled, when the Dems will start to lie and scare them about it.
Frankly, I think we need an activism thread up every day to get this done.
We need contact for the WH......I also have some less known info such as fax numbers for Rove etc.
We need contact info for Frist and relevant committees.
Frankly, while the war on terror is always number one, it is time to move majorly on the domestic front. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Domestic reforms in order of import. I think:
1)SS
2)tax
3)tort
Bush will push hard on 1....we need to push hard on 2 to make sure he pushes for radical reform, not just simplifying the income tax code.
