A "thanks" from John Linder ...
I don't see any "Thank you' message, nor a reason why he would be thanking us etc.
Try adding details, having a point when you post something.
Unless you are Linder, I dont have a clue what you are talking about, I didnt see any thank yous anywhere on the link.
Hmm...a "quick search" on his site for the keywords "Free Republic" and "freerepublic.com" turned up empty. Who was he thanking and what was he thanking them for?
Strange, alcohol and pancake references in both of our posts. < cue Twilight Zone music >
Great minds and all.........
...
but if you take it out in public,
They'll put you on the Dock,
and you won't come back.
"Thank You, Thank You"
Here 'tis:
Today I am writing with just a brief update about where the FairTax stands. These last two months have been as exciting as any that we have had with the FairTax, and you are a big part of it. I have always said that the FairTax will never win alone in Washington, D.C.; instead, the FairTax will win among Americans in living rooms and at kitchen tables across this country, and the American voter will then demand action in Washington, D.C. In the last two months, the FairTax has put a book atop the New York Times Bestsellers list and generated unprecedented grassroots support across the nation. That grassroots support is now paying dividends in Washington, D.C. In the last 45 days we have added a record six new Congressmen and one new Senator as supporters and cosponsors of the H.R. 25/S. 25, the FairTax bill in Congress. Perhaps it was your phone call or letter to one of these offices that made the difference, so let me list the names of these new supporters below: Senator Tom Coburn (Oklahoma) Congressman Henry Brown (South Carolina) Congressman Dan Burton (Indiana) Congressman John Carter (Texas) Congressman John (Jimmy) Duncan (Tennessee) Congressman Duncan Hunter (California) Congressman Tom Tancredo (Colorado) As you can see, these members come from all parts of the country, and they have added their names to the FairTax not because I asked them to but rather because you and your neighbors-their constituents-asked them to. This is how the FairTax will come to pass in Congress. As of today, the FairTax has a combined 46 Congressional cosponsors in the House and Senate-more cosponsors than any other fundamental tax reform bill-and with your help, I am certain that we will add even more before the year ends. Let me say it again: only with your support have we achieved this much, and only with your continued enthusiasm will we ultimately succeed. Tell your family, tell your friends, tell your neighbors and tell your coworkers. Tell anyone who will listen that the American voter is running this country and that Washington will respond to the voter's demands. If your neighbor doesn't believe it, tell them this: From mid-May of this year through the end of September-more than four months-not a single member of Congress added his or her name to the FairTax bill. Yet, in just the last 45 days, amid a flurry of constituent phone calls, letters and town hall meetings, seven Congressmen and Senators have asked that their names be added. Why? Because politicians will listen to you! Keep talking. Thank you again for visiting my webpage, and feel free to forward this email to anyone who you believe will find it useful. Come back anytime to http://linder.house.gov or http://fairtaxnow.org, and, together, we will make tax reform a reality. Thank you, John Linder""Thank you for coming by my webpage to show your enthusiasm for the FairTax. This effort to abolish the IRS, save American jobs, and rescue the American economy can only happen with your and your neighbor's support, so please know how grateful I am for your interest.
There you go! Thanks for the post, pigdog.
Now, all we have to do is, "Git 'er done!"
you owe me a keyboard! I catch myself singing that sone all the time! and I don't even have one!
sone=song sorry, got the chimp typing for me tonight
That's it! A BTT for digging that up...
Seven more supporters in D.C. within the last months is a win in my book.
Game's not over, but we scored another point.
OK... thx.
Maybe even 7 points (the seven added names) ... and who knows, maybe even more if you're looked at the Comments flooding the Tax Panel.
