I’ve been reading about these on-line petitions to the White House.  Apparently the White House has promised a response to any petition which gets over 25,000 signatures.  There’s a somewhat petition out there asking that Piers Morgan be deported.  That one has over 100,000 signatures.

So .. last night I decided to put my own petition out there for signatures.  I logged on to Whitehouse.gov, created an account, and posted my petition.  Here it is:

We petition the obama administration to: Invite Neal Boortz, the author of The FairTax Book, to spend one hour talking with the President about tax reform. A petition to request that the President spend one hour discussing The FairTax, the most thoroughly researched tax reform legislation in history, with Neal Boortz and former GOP Congressman John Linder, co-authors of The FairTax Book and FairTax, The Truth.

Who knows?  It could work?  Not likely … but it could!  And yes, I would head to Washington in a heartbeat to meet with Obama if I could have that hour to explain The FairTax to him.  Obama is a champion of the middle class (or so he says) and here is a tax play under which the middle class would not pay ONE SINGLE PENNY in taxes to the federal government until they had taken care of all of the essentials of their daily lives.

Soooo … we need 25,000 signatures to compel a response.  But 25,000 signatures won’t have any real affect on the White House.  I’m thinking that 100,000 signatures certainly would --- and a quarter-million would be even better.  I’m hoping the folks at FairTax.org will jump in here to add to the count. Erick Erickson at RedState.com is already helping out.

Do you want to sign?  As I’m writing this note there are about 1,100 signatures.  Here’s your link!  Add your signature, then talk your family and friends into joining you.  Again, as I said …. Who knows?
