FairTax on C-SPAN
UPDATE:
Here is the video from Tuesday's special order on the FairTax.
I would agree with many comments I have seen around the web that if they ever have the opportunity to present the FairTax again in this manner, that they will drop the blatant partisanship when discussing it. As anyone who reads my posts knows, I'm as partisan as you can get about many things, but the FairTax is my most important issue and it should be something that everyone can embrace. Especially in today's environment, we need Democrats in order to pass this bill. Let's not push them away when we need them most!
******************************************************************
It appears that Congressmen Steve King and John Linder will have the opportunity to discuss the FairTax with the nation on Tuesday night, March 17 at around 6:00pm.
The following is from Congressman King's Press Secretary:
Right now we anticipate the Special Order taking place around 6 p.m. tomorrow night. Obviously, that could change, but that is the tentative time we are being told. The Special Order will be aired on CSPAN.
Congressman King is working to have several other members join him on the floor tomorrow night. House leadership has asked Congressman King to mention President Obama's plans for tax increases, so the Congressman and other members will be contrasting these planned tax hikes with the FairTax and all it can do to stimulate our economy.
I will send around a brief statement from the Congressman on the Special Order later today that you can post online if you would like. Let me know if you have any questions.

Please have all your friends and family tune in! We hope to hope to have a YouTube version of this up as well as soon as I can get a link from someone who knows how to do that.
I’ve been involved in taxations for lengthier then I care to admit, both on the individual side (all my working life-time!!) and from a legal stand since passing the bar and following up on tax law. I’ve supplied a lot of advice and rectified a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve put up makes perfect sense. Please carry on the good work – the more people know the better they’ll be outfitted to comprehend with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.
