”It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are
made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous
that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be
understood.”
 ~James Madison, Father of the U.S. Constitution

Yesterday I listened to former Senator Thompson and his wife, Jeri, on the Shawn Hannity Show. They were both terrific especially his wife’s answers to callers questions. 

However, Fred is still not backing the FairTax. Big mistake Fred, you need grassroot conservative support and you will get it big time if you come out for the FairTax.

 I share Fred’s concerns over the need for a constitutional amendment repealing the Federal income tax so that we do not eventually end up with both the FairTax, a consumption based national sales tax, and then at some latter date a Democratic Party effort to reinstate the Federal income tax.

While it will take some time to get the constitutional amendment through the states to ratify the amendment, once the American people get to keep their entire pay-check each pay day, they will vote out of office any candidate who foolishly dares to reinstate the prior Federal income tax based system on top of the Federal sales tax.

I urge Fred Thompson to revisit the FairTax proposal and proposed legislation and read or listen to the new book by Neal Boortz and John Linder :

The FairTax Act of 2007

May I suggest two great songs to open and close your campaign events by a real nice guy, Aaron Tippin and a Fred Thompson supporter:

Texas will put Fred Thompson over the top in March with 140 delegates!

Looks like either a Fred Thompson/Mitt Romney or Fred Thompson/Rudi Giuliani ticket.

I will vote for either ticket and I think Dr. Bill will support either ticket too.

How conservative is Fred Thompson?

“…Finally, compared to Mr. Thompson’s lifetime ACU rating of 86.1 and Mr. Frist’s 87.8, worth noting is Arizona Sen. John McCain’s 82.3. Also worth noting are the lifetime ACU ratings of so-called “second-tier” Republican presidential candidates: Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, 94.0; California Rep. Duncan Hunter, 92.0; Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo, 97.8; and Texas Rep. Ron Paul, 82.3.”
