Subject: Thank you

Comment: Since your preliminary recommendations were released I've been hearing more and more outrage on talk radio and in the general media about D.C. business as usual. I would like to thank you for helping to bring the issue of 'Inside the Beltway Mentality', as it relates to taxation, into better view. As a supporter of the FairTax I believe you have done more to help this cause than you may ever know.

Due to the recent hurricane activity, this issue had dropped out of the news and the FairTax Book was slipping in it's position on the New York Times Best Seller List. We now appear to have a real shot a showing just what a true grass roots movement can do.

I've written letters to the President and my representatives asking that your panel be dissolved because you failed to meet all of the President's goals for your commission. The people I've been discussing this with, on the internet and in person, are mostly very glad to see that you did not even try to make recommendations that met any of the President's requests. Although a few of them appeared to be genuinely distraught.

Forever in grateful,
