FairTax welcomes our 61st co-sponsor!

06/15/2007

On Monday, June 11, 2007, we added our most recent co-sponsor, Rep. Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland. The FairTax bill now has 61 co-sponsors in the House (H.R. 25) and 4 co-sponsors in the Senate (S. 1025) - more than any other tax reform bill that has been presented!

Within our News & Developments section of the Web site, we maintain a Co-Sponsor Gallery where we highlight our newest co-sponsors and also provide a list of all sponsoring representatives with an active link to their individual Web sites. We thank each of them for their public endorsement of the FairTax!

We also maintain a Congressional Scorecard that reflects each elected official’s stance on the FairTax. This is updated regularly as we receive new information or copies of correspondence expressing their comments on tax reform. Although we are actively involved in educating the presidential candidates on the FairTax, it is vitally important that our current elected officials understand and support our issue, for they will be the ones to ultimately pass the bill and send it along to our new president.

We are pleased to add Rep. Gilchrest to our growing list of co-sponsors. As our momentum continues to build, we look forward to managing an expanding roster of FairTax advocates!
