			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, there are several ways to contact your representative, that is for sure. One way would be to head over to our <a title="NC State Leader's Scorecard on Fairtax" href="http://ncfairtax.org/our-nc-reps/">NC Leader&#8217;s Scorecard</a> and visit their sites and email them.</p>
<p>Another way would be to use the &#8216;<a title="Contact Congress and Reps" href="https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml" target="_blank">Write Your Representative</a>&#8216; webpage section on the U.S. Congress site. While there you can select your location and email your representative right from the site. They make it almost too easy.</p>
<p>One thing is for sure, they need to hear your voice on the important issues including the passing of HR 25, S 1025, the FairTax Bill.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be quiet!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out the trailer for the upcoming movie An Inconvenient Tax. Share it with others and spread the news. The time for the FairTax is here!</p>
<p>The tide is turning. People want a change. Not the promised &#8216;CHANGE&#8217; from our current administration, but a change back to what made this nation great. A change back to constitutional principles. A change to a smaller government that is answerable to the people. A change back to personal liberties, and the personal responsibility that goes along with it.</p>
<p>The FairTax is more important than ever. It gives power back to the people to make decisions with their livelihoods. It stalls the Washington power grab by negating the power of lobbies and special interests. (Hey, wasn&#8217;t that supposed to be on the new administrations agenda? Guess they forgot.)<br />
It makes taxation fair in that everyone pays when they make purchasing decisions., This means everyone, even the 40% that currently do not pay taxes and those visiting our country legally and illegally.</p>
<p>The FairTax just makes sense!</p>
<p>The thing is, thanks to the MSM (Mainstream media) most folks have not heard about the FairTax. Or, worse, if they have, they have only gotten the negative spin which is usually based on half-truths or outright lies by FairTax opponents.</p>
<p>Pass this trailer around. Talk up the FairTax to those you know. The time is now for a real direction shift and the nation is ripe for The FairTax.</p>
<p>Enjoy the trailer.</p>

<p>The FairTax is not just a transformational tax reform proposal; it&#8217;s a dramatically different vision for America. Most politicians don&#8217;t have the guts to stand on principal and invest themselves in changing America for the better because it means taking a risk. If those politicians are going break the pattern and change our government, you must learn everything you can about the FairTax in order to start the dialog with them and successfully create a new FairTax supporter.<br />
You and I know that the best way to collect revenue at the federal level is the FairTax. As FairTax supporters, you are unofficial ambassadors of this transformative proposal and it&#8217;s important that you understand all the merits of H.R. 25 and S. 13 and how the FairTax works.</p>
<h2>Contact Your Representative</h2>
<p>Your Representative in Congress needs to hear from you. Whether you write them a letter, call their offices, or email them, they will never know how many of their constituents support the FairTax if they don&#8217;t hear from you. They&#8217;ll also never choose to support the FairTax without you demonstrating to them the consequence for refusing to support real change. Tell them you support the FairTax because the IRS and its 100 pound gorilla of a tax code is suffocating your small business or your family budget. Go to House.gov to look up your Congressman.</p>
<h2>Get Involved with the Races Near You</h2>
<p>We must elect more pro-FairTax members of Congress. Find out who is running in your district and support those candidates that support the FairTax. If they support the FairTax, it’s likely they have a firm and thoughtful vision for America.<br />
At campaign events and town halls, challenge politicians to either support the FairTax or ask them to offer a substantive reason not to. Know how to defend the FairTax, so even if you haven&#8217;t convinced the politician, you&#8217;ve convinced those in the audience.</p>
<h2>Tell Your Friends and Neighbors</h2>
<p>The FairTax&#8217;s success so far has been the result of a groundswell due to the work of supporters like all of you. In our society, people listen to their friends and neighbors and they actually care about what they think.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate to get involved in grassroots activities in your area to let your peers know that you support the FairTax. Chances are, once they learn about it, they&#8217;ll support it too.</p>
<h2>Use Social Media</h2>
<p>The usefulness of social media can never be discounted. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are great ways to advertise your support for the FairTax and network with other FairTax supporters. One great way to show your support is to &#8220;like&#8221; FairTax supporters on Facebook. You can do this with Representatives, Senators and other FairTax supporters who champion the cause in the media. This helps increase their visibility in social media circles, on the internet and with the media and gives them more leverage to advocate for the FairTax to an ever growing audience. To see how this works,click here to visit the FairTax.org Facebook page and click &#8220;like&#8221;. Then search for your favorite FairTax supporters and do the same for them.</p>
