Wisconsin was treated to the call of vocal citizens participating in a sit down protest as seventy thousand invaded the halls of the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison with a need to express their views. Governor Walker and the politicians in Madison where deluged with emails estimated at 24 thousand a day. This is exactly the power the MI FairTax needs to muster in Michigan to tell the politicians there is a majority that expects cooperation on giving the voters a say on the MI FairTax, and they demand it get done. In this era of instant communication we can flood the halls of power with email, we can rally at the capitol, we can have a new voice. 
       Gov. Snyder, our Senators and Representatives, are in need of a wake up call. A reminder that those who voted last Fall expect the MI FairTax to be on the table and part of the discussion, just as then candidate Snyder stated in his campaign. It is not good enough to give lip service to an issue any longer, as American's we have had enough of politicians who do not listen. Power revisited! The power is in our hands.

WHAT'S HAPPENING

GREAT IDEAS JUST WON'T GO AWAY

SENTINEL FAIRTAX FACTS

     

As April 18th, Michigan Income Tax Day gets closer (April 15th is a Federal Holiday called Emancipation Day), ask yourself, "Why do we have an income tax?" And then ask yourself, "How do we change the system?"

     In our system of self-governance, ideas become laws only when the advocates are organized - not just when an idea has merit. You see, when people with a good idea get highly organized, they have a power that makes elected lawmakers pay attention. Those officials can then vote to place the Michigan FairTax before the people and the idea has a chance to be voted into law.

      Regardless of its negative impact on the economy, the Michigan Income Tax remains intact and expands. It's a bad idea, but its protectors flank Lansing. Special interest lobbyists and campaign donors aim to keep it in place.

      But we know we can do better. We are organizing the voters challenge to repeal the Michigan Income Tax and abolish it forever.

The Michigan FairTax Association already has many strong advocates across our state. Many in Lansing heard us loud and clear. Now, "tax reform" and "tax replacement" are buzz words in Michigan's legislature.
