As a candidate for the United States Senate I built my campaign around my support of the FairTax legislation that is currently before Congress. The FairTax continues to gain support as indicated below.
Linder, R-Duluth, announced he had reached 65 co-sponsors for his tax reform legislation, where income taxes would be replaced with a national sales tax. The latest supporters are Oklahoma Reps. Frank Lucas and Mary Fallin.
"We have seen extraordinary traction this year," Linder said in a press release. "Grassroots support across the nation is motivating (Congress) members to study the FairTax and decide whether they are going to be for the bill or against the bill. I certainly appreciate Rep. Fallin's support, although I cannot take credit for her signature; it was her constituency."
The FairTax is the most highly co-sponsored piece of tax reform legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, out-numbering its closest competition, the Freedom Flat Tax, by 59 co-sponsors. Linder said the FairTax has more co-sponsors than any other piece of tax reform legislation proposed in over three decades.
"I believe this is just the beginning," he said. "I can't go anywhere anymore without someone asking me how the FairTax is doing. People are paying attention and they are looking for ideas in which to believe. The FairTax is one that really resonates and creates excitement. We are working to reach 100 co-sponsors in the 110th Congress, and once we do that the politicians in Washington will have no choice but to listen. I have said many times, the people are way ahead of the politicians on this issue."
I will continue to spread the word about the FairTax to my fellow Americans, because their support is needed immediately in order for the FairTax to become the law of the land.
SHALOM!
PEACE BE WITH YOU!

SPECIAL MESSAGE TO THE FLORIDA TAX AND BUDGET REFORM COMMISSION
To the Florida Tax and Budget Reform Commission:
Please consider placing on the November 2008 ballot an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would replace all the taxes at both the State and Local levels
including property, tangible and intangible taxes with a retail sales tax to apply to all NEW goods and services, with NO exemptions.
This amendment should change the Florida tax system at the State and Local levels to a consumption tax basis patterned after the federal Fair Tax Bill (HR-25) including the prebate.
The conversion of the current, complicated, and sometimes unreliable system of taxation can and should be accomplished in a timely manner. The retail consumption tax would broaden and strengthen our tax base, thus providing a more stable and reliable form of revenue collection.
It would also relieve the homeowners, the business owners, and the average taxpayer of the threat of losing all that they have worked hard to build, i.e., their homes, their farms, and their businesses, to an unfair and archaic form of tax collection (our current system) that is based on Socialist principles.
We need to move to a more Capitalistic and stable form of revenue collection. A state based FairTax solution is that remedy. I strongly urge your consideration to this most sound economic proposal.
I am a business owner, a lawyer, and a homeowner and I want to do everything possible to rescue this country from the illegal shake down artists. We must end the current regressive system of taxation. Your serious consideration and action on this proposal is urgently needed.
SHALOM!
