I’ve Made Up My Mind
21 October 2007back in June I wrote a post about Mike Huckabee. In that post I talked about seeing Mike Huckabee in person and listening to him make his points and field questions. I was impressed with Huckabee then and really wanted to support him but I really didn’t think he had a chance so I was [...]
Thompson in South Carolina
27 June 2007I has the privilege today of attending a luncheon sponsored by the South Carolina Republican Convention. The luncheon was held in Columbia and the keynote speaker was Fred Dalton Thompson. When the opportunity to go to this presented itself, there was no chance I was going to pass it up.
Thompson spoke for about 25 minutes [...]
Views on Mike Huckabee
22 June 2007I had the opportunity to be at a Mike Huckabee campaign stop. Governor Huckabee came to Charleston Bagel in Mt. Pleasant, SC and spoke to a small crowd of maybe 40-50 people and he was, in my view, very effective.
The campaign stop was sponsored by South Carolina FairTax. The FairTax organization does not endorse candidates [...]
FairTax Rally Criticisms
16 May 2007Let me preface this by saying I am not disgruntled. As I mentioned in the previous post, I thoroughly enjoyed the FairTax Rally and I complement the organizers. Having said that, I want to offer constructive criticism so the organizers can improve on their success. There were a number of things that could have easily [...]

I came across this article several weeks ago from one of my favorite columnists. Professor Williams has a very succinct way of conveying complicated topics and themes. If you are not a regular reader of his, you should at least check out his regular column at Townhall.
In this piece, Professor Williams [...]

by John DeJong of NotMeUSA.com
The Fair Tax Plan (HR.25/S.25) has been out for well over a year now and yet there are still many people who have never even heard of it. One would think that a plan as bold and beneficial as this would be sounded [...]

5 December 2006What Would It Mean to Pass the FairTax Plan?
by John DeJong of NotMeUSA.com
How would you like to keep one hundred percent of everything you earn? That is one hundred percent of your paycheck, your savings interest, your inheritance, your winnings and any money given to you from a benefactor. How much would you like never [...]

Now that the aftermath of the elections have subsided, I want to follow-up on what TD said in the FTBB a couple of weeks ago about grassroots campaigning. As we have mentioned on countless occasions, whether you are a Republican or Democrat or Libertarian, the FairTax is for you.

Well, the elections are over and I’ve heard everything from “It’s a sure thing” to “No way it’ll even make it out of committee now” regarding the FairTax.
One thing I do know — never underestimate the power of a grassroots movement. Democrats were shown in 1994 not to take [...]
