VOLUNTEER RESOURCE MATERIALS & HELPFUL LINKS
Passage of the FairTax will take a groundswell of
support from citizens across the country. To make this happen, we
need volunteers like you to help spread the word about the positive
impact that the FairTax will have on our nation. We need people
who will write to their elected representatives, write letters to
editors, make presentations to clubs and civic organizations, and
tell their friends and neighbors about the FairTax. To assist you
in your efforts we have provided a variety of resources. Please
feel free to use them! (Many of the documents listed below are in
PDF format. You will need to have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed
to view these documents. To download the free PDF reader, click

PA State: While FairTax is a Federal Bill, passage is important to our State of PA, as it will help the economy grow and provide PA with much needed additional State revenues. An example of additional State revenues would be the nearly $1 billion savings to PA by removing their FICA employee matching obligations under FairTax. $446 million of this would be saved in the PA Education Fund Budget alone, as referenced by a link below within the PA Education Budget 2004. These are funds that could be spent in the classroom instead. FairTax rather than organized gambling is the way to provide PA with productive additional revenues for State and property tax reductions. Therefore, we ask that you contact your PA State House and Senate members as well, and ask them to use their influence on our Federal legislators to help get the FairTax passed.
