Neal Boortz

    Banks and Shane entertain with several of their outstanding numbers

An unusually humble Neal Boortz welcomes the
overflow crowd. He was very touched by the sheer numbers present!


Congressman John Linder
Congressman John Linder,
author of the Fair Tax Bill in the U.S. House, is introduced by Neal Boortz. John announced that Speaker Hastert has arranged for him to have a personal meeting with the President concerning the Fair Tax. What a rallying cry this could be for Republicans. Congressman Linder also announced  that Sen. Johnny Isakson has recently signed on as a co-sponsor of the bill.

Sean Hannity


Neal Introduces his friend, Sean Hannity, who flew in for this Rally.  He and Colmes later did the Fox Hannity/ Colmes TV show in Atlanta. Boortz and Linder  are talking about taking this rally on the road to many parts of the country. GREAT IDEA!
 
All GA Republican members of  Congress are now supporting the Fair Tax Bill -- HR 25!

Sean questions Boortz
and Linder about the FairTax and just how it works. They did a great job of explaining the plan and answering FAQ. Most questions are
answered in the new paper back version
of the Fair Tax Book

 


Herman Cain

Master motivational speaker, Herman Cain, (the "Hermanator") holds the audience spellbound with his remarks about the need for the passage of the Fair Tax and the abolition of the IRS. Herman drew the loudest applause and the most standing ovations of the evening!  Herman's message: "Them that's going, get on the wagon. Them that's not going, get out of the way!"

   
     What is the FairTax?
Herman explains this very well on a page of his web site. He urged everyone to keep up the fight by contacting the members of Congress weekly concerning the importance or their passing the Fair Tax.  Herman says,  "When they feel the heat, they will see the light."

John Stossel

Surprise quest, John Stossel of ABC 2020, is introduced by Neal. In his latest book, "Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity," John Stossel expands on his popular "Myth" segments on "20/20"   Read more. .

Sen. Saxby Chambliss

Clark Howard

Clark appears in his
usual elegant attire. When he
dared to mention the
possibility of the FLAT tax, he received a loud round of boo's. Clark wants the GA State Income Tax abolished, also.

All members of the rally team thank the supporters and listen to Banks and Shane perform God Bless the USA as a finale to the evening's great program

Audience members seem so happy to finally be attending a Fair Tax rally!  They are determined to take these rallies on the road all over the country.  All ages, color and gender turned out in full force for this, the beginning of the grassroots march to victory. The time has come for the Fair Tax!



Fair Tax supporters #1 and #2.  They were the first two people in line, and have been here since 2 p.m!  That's dedication!

FairTax Rally Huge Success!  Flashpoint May 25, 2006
 

From AJC on May 26:

"When a Fair Tax rally draws 4,500 people, some of whom drive hundreds of miles, as the one did Wednesday night, you gotta take the movement seriously. And that's those who got in the door. Another 2,000 were turned away. U.S. Rep. John Linder (R-Ga.) and Neal Boortz have started something."

Power to the people -- not the Washington politicians and lobbyists!

We, the concerned and dedicated citizens, can get this done if we
send enough loud and clear messages to all of our Congressmen FREQUENTLY!
