When you stop and think about it, Independence Day is truly remarkable. It reminds us that even a simple idea--championed by those who believe a better way is possible--can stand up against the greatest of powers and the slimmest of odds...and prevail.
Today, some 232 years later, I can think of no finer way to describe our mission with the FairTax. We, too, believe a better world is possible and--like those patriots on that sweltering Philadelphia summer day--the forces we face are no less powerful, entrenched and resistant to change. Do we anticipate a long, difficult road for the FairTax? Certainly. Will powerful Washington forces challenge our cause? Yes. But in such cases, as American history so greatly reminds us, we know who prevails in the end.
That said, this July 4th I'm asking you become a FairTax 1040 Member at www.fairtax.org/1040 in our continuing fight for freedom today. We've added 700 names toward our goal of 1,040 new members by July 4th. Help us hit our target now!
Members of the FairTax 1040--named for the IRS tax form we hope to relegate to history--will receive a membership card, exclusive communications from FairTax leadership, and more. We are asking for a monthly contribution of just $10.40 per FairTax supporter for a year, or just $20.80 per month from each FairTax household.
To honor America and support the FairTax this July 4th, can you invest $20.80 a month for help ensure a better future for yourself and a loved one?
Freedom isn't free, as they say, which is why we need your financial support now to fight the deep-pocketed special interests in Washington, and educate Americans about the immediate need for the FairTax. In fact, with soaring food and fuel prices, wouldn't you rather have a system that lets you take home your whole paycheck right about now?
So please take a moment and become a FairTax 1040 Member now. It's a small investment in America and the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Thanks again for your support of the FairTax. I wish you and yours a very happy and healthy July 4th.
Sincerely,
Ken Hoagland
Communications Director
