Yes!
He should throw his hat into the ring!
I had the pleasure of meeting Rep. King At the DC Chapter annual Christmas Party in 2002. Over the next year or so (I had to move to Jacksonville in Feb. 2004 to take care of my late mother) I got to know Rep. King relatively well.
Our “connection” was his support for the FairTax; he has been a co-sponsor and avid supporter of the FairTax since he was sworn in as a Congressman in 2003. When I was in WDC, I was a lobbyist for the FairTax, and I relied on Rep. King for introductions to other Members and his sage advice. He was most helpful!
If Steve King were Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, we would get the FairTax legislation passed and signed into law.
And, my fellow FReepers, THAT REALLY EXCITES ME!
Perhaps you will help me convince Rep. King to throw his hat into the ring?
