ping all your lists please
Great idea!!!
Republicans should go to the American people with the moral argument that taxing anyone or anything more than 25% is immoral. It should be wrong for the government to take more than 1 out of every 4 dollars.... etc.
Before the next election. ;-) I like it.
My former Rep and now Senator. He will get an attaboy call tomorrow!
A Taxreform bump for you all.
If anyone would like to be added to this ping list let me know.

I just checked thomas.loc.gov.....
Doesn't appear that there is a companion bill in the House yet. We need to ask our Reps to sponsor the companion bill in the House.......
Go Isakson!! Wow I thought he was a lost cause.
Isakson needs to be informed about the Fair Tax.
My respect for Isaakson has just gone way up. Let's get busy!
NO WAY!
I HATE THE FLAT TAX!
We need to go with the FAIR TAX!
NOT FLAT- FAIR...
Wow. I remember all the talk about this guy Johnny Isakson being some kind of a liberal when he was running for his seat. Hats off to Johnny!
Naive.
President Bush did this last year, the commission gave President Bush and the rest of the working people of the U.S. the collective middle finger.
Someone should mail Rep Johnny Isakson as copy of the Fairtax book.
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish the Federal income tax.Oh yea, notice the coincidental date? That was seven years ago. It's the same dangling carrot year after year.IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Not later than 180 days after the ratification of the article of amendment proposed by this joint resolution, the Secretary of the Treasury shall report to the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate recommendations for any legislation that may be necessary to implement that article.'.
Finally Isakson speaks. It's about time us Gerogians heard his voice. I'm behind him 100%.
Oh boy!!! Just what we need ... another commission.
That way the legislators can delay doing their jobs in this area for another year or so.
He's one of my senators. Kudos!!
