Representative Charles Rangel (NY, District 15)
Chairman, Ways and Means Committee
2354 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515

To: Chairman Rangel,
Subject: Request for hearing on the FairTax

Dare to be Fair! Schedule a Hearing on the Fair Tax.

Whereas, the FairTax Bill will produce an economic boom which could create millions of American jobs, deliver 100% of all earned income to Americans free of deductions for federal income taxes or other payroll taxes, and bring to the U. S. an estimated $11 to $15 trillion from offshore accounts and investments by Americans, foreign corporations and individuals; and,

Whereas, the FairTax Bill will abolish the IRS and 67,500 pages of income tax regulations thereby eliminating a projected $300 billion in annual tax preparation costs and endless hours of frustrating tax form preparation and filings by honest Americans, and which will eliminate an overly complex tax code even the IRS itself admits there are parts it cannot understand that benefits tax lawyers, lobbyists and senior Members of Congress on tax writing committees who cut deals for wealthy corporations and individuals; and,

Whereas, the FairTax Bill will cause those who come by their income illegally to pay their fair share of taxes thereby reducing the tax burden on all honest, taxpaying Americans; and,

Whereas, the FairTax will establish a sales tax to be paid only on new retail products, when each person chooses to make a purchase and the FairTax has been endorsed as simple, wise, efficient and pro-growth by more than 80 prominent economists including Nobel Prize winning economist Dr. Vernon Smith; therefore,

I, the undersigned, do hereby respectfully call upon the Ways and Means Committee to conduct a fair, open public hearing on the FairTax Bill H. R. 25, allotting 50% of the time each to the proponents and opponents on or about Tax Day April 15, 2010, and then send H. R. 25 to a vote of the entire House of Representatives.

Sincerely,

In January, Chuck Schumer and Barney Frank will propose universal voter registration. What is universal voter registration? It means all of the state laws on elections will be overriden by a federal mandate. The feds will tell the states: 'take everyone on every list of welfare that you have, take everyone on every list of unemployed you have, take everyone on every list of property owners, take everyone on every list of driver's license holders and register them to vote regardless of whether they want to be...'"

This is unconstitutional as we have 50 individual elections and the states determine how their respective elections will be conducted. We have a federal government not a national government.

This will have the effect of registering felons, illegal aliens, and legal aliens, as well as children too young to vote. Universal voter registration has FRAUD written all over it. I urge you to register your objections to this bill with our Senators and Representatives as soon as it is introduced. In the event this bill is actually passed, I urge you to refuse to implement this reckless legislation.


Concerned citizen,
