Sample Letter to Congress

FairTax Act, A Bipartisan Bill

[Date]

The Honorable [First and Last Name of Congressman or Senator]
United States [House of Representatives or Senate]
Washington, D.C. 20510

Dear [Congressman or Senator Last Name]:

The FairTax Act, a bipartisan bill sponsored by John Linder (R-GA) and Collin Peterson (D-MN) would remove the burden of the income tax and other federal income-based taxes.

The current tax system is incomprehensible. It is beyond reform. It simply has to go.

The FairTax Act would replace the current tax system with a national consumption tax that will:

• Allow Americans to keep 100% of their paychecks, pensions, and Social Security payments.
• Dramatically reduce the cost of goods and services by 20% to 30%.
• Allow families to save more for homeownership, education, and retirement.
• Raise the same amount of money for the federal government.
• Make American products more competitive overseas.

I urge you to heed the vast majority of voters who will surely support you if you are seen as responsible for passage of this historic tax reform measure.

As a constituent, I would like to know where you stand on the FairTax.

Sincerely,

Your Constituent
[Name]
[Address]
[City, State, Zip]
[Phone Number]
