Subject: "Stormy Night in Ottumwa"  (Brief report on Bob's Bridge View Event)

Date: June 2, 2010 7:20:54 PM CDT

Short Report on the Ottumwa "Get Out the Vote Rally".....

Below letter:

banner after the event.

After weeks of planning and preparation for the "Bridge View Center" event

-it all came down to a race against the weather.  It appeared we might have

the upper hand up until about 1 hour before it was to start and the bottom

fell out.  

The skies begin to darken and the clouds swirl with the media announcing

severe thunderstorms, wind, hail and possible tornados moving our direction.

At about 6:45 PM the rain cut loose and I figured at that point - a dozen

people would be the best we could expect. Some were caught with no umbrellas

and came in pretty soaked. It only got worse as 7 PM neared, but to my

surprise people kept on coming.

We ended up with about 130 people and a tremendous event. Had the weather

been normal, I imagine the 130 number would have been at least doubled if

not a little more than that.  

Bob was on fire like I have not seen in the past and spoke much longer than

normal.  He then took a number of questions. Some commented they wished this

event had been video taped because it was so powerful.

Brian Donegan of "Can Do Conservatives" was also at the event all the way

from Lawrenceville, Georgia.  Brian is legally blind and was born with a

number of birth defects. Yet, he has been able to "see" clear from Georgia

that Iowa has a candidate in this race the whole nation should have their

eye on, and traveled nearly 900 miles to help Bob do the job.  As he

says..."Even a blind man can see this!"

He was delighted to have the opportunity of introducing Bob last night.

Many yard signs were given out at the end of the event along with literature

and bumper stickers.  One thing I noticed at the close of this event is the

high number of people wanting to donate financially to Bob's campaign. With

only a week left, I think people are finally coming to the realization that

this is serious and Iowan's may not have another opportunity in years to

nominate a person like Bob Vander Plaats. People like Bob are extremely

rare, especially in the political arena.

Below is a link to a story that appeared in the Ottumwa Courier today.

Also, the attachments above are a few photos from last night.

Remember all 5 of the Chuck Norris events planned for this weekend. For more

details, go to www.bobvp.com

Only a few days remain, don't forget to vote on June 8 (or before) at the

Court House and try to think of at least 5 people you can call and encourage

them to do the same. I believe Bob is within striking distance and your

extra effort may be what puts him over the top.  

Bob has two TV commercials running right now that are extremely good. Many

Democrats have called to announce they are switching over to vote for Bob in

this primary. Sometimes, all people need is a reminder or a little

encouragement. They shouldn't, but they do. If only HALF of the Iowan's who

profess Christianity as their "faith" would get out and vote for Bob, he

would win in a landslide. 

Brian Donegan can barely see. He can't drive a car. I helped him tie his tie

before the rally last night. I helped him fill his plate at a buffet at noon

today. At 27 years of age he has a number of disabilities (and pain) none of

us even consider, yet he has been out putting up signs, door knocking,

making calls and speaking to total strangers on Bob's behalf - and he

doesn't even live in Iowa. What's our problem? We have 5 days left.

FW: Calls for a FairTax Hearing in Congress!

 

Update My Preferences  |  Tell-A-Friend  |  Visit FairTax.org

Florida Representative Calls for FairTax Hearing! R. George, Will we finally win the long overdue hearing in the House Ways and Means Committee on the FairTax? We are banging at Congress' door and it is having an effect. Your voice and the voices of tens of thousands of other patriots are becoming impossible to ignore. It's about time. Our demand to elected officials is to wake up before it is too late. Given the state of the economy and the destructive path of national borrowing and debt, the time for the FairTax is now. Some Members of Congress are listening. Watch this statement from the floor of the House of Representatives by Florida's Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (who is not even yet a FairTax co-sponsor) and you will see that you, hometown Floridians and fellow FairTax supporters from across the nation are finally getting through. So thank you for signing our demand petition to Congress. You are making a stand for the health of our country, for our future and for the future of our children and grandchildren. May I now ask you to think of any friends, family or colleagues who have not yet helped us and ask them for nothing more than their name on a petition to hold an in-depth hearing on the FairTax? Even those who have not embraced the FairTax should be able to see that a thorough and fair Congressional hearing on the FairTax is only right. After all, hundreds of thousands of Americans believe in the FairTax, 80 economists have written Congress in support of the FairTax and more than 60 Members of Congress have co-sponsored the FairTax. Use this link to ask your friends, family and colleagues to help win a fair and balanced hearing on what might be the most important piece of legislation for saving the nation for generations to come. Thank you for believing in the power of the FairTax to save the nation. Ken Hoagland, Chairman National FairTax Victory Campaign PS: In response to another FairTax petition, a California supporter just sent us a copy of a letter by Senator Diane Feinstein where she writes, "… a value-added tax would unduly harm working families and hinder economic growth." This is another sign that our voices are finally being heard and that our growing strength is becoming dangerous to ignore. Please keep up the pressure; it's starting to work!

FAIRTAX=MICHIGAN PROSPERITY

 

MI FAIRTAX CLARION SENTINEL mifairtax.org official newsletter vol. 6 MI FairTax, the solution that provides Michigan a bright future!            Eliminate the buying and selling of tax favors.            The cancer which is destroying our state government.            Guarantee citizens a larger share of their earnings.            By Working, By Saving, By Investing.            Remove hidden taxes from goods and services.            Create Jobs in Michigan, a magnet for business growth.              Protect everyone from taxation on necessities.            Untax everyone's consumption up to their poverty level.            ONLINETAXREVOLT.COM 272,400 and counting.            Still Growing, Check it out! NOTABLE AND QUOTABLE Abraham Lincoln: I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts.   SENTINEL FAIRTAX FACTS      *A FairTax cannot be implemented in Michigan without a vote of the people. A FairTax cannot be increased in Michigan without a vote of the people   Why is this so? Because the Michigan Constitution limits the Sales Tax and cannot be increased without a vote of the people. The FairTax returns the power of taxation to the people of Michigan and repeals existing taxes. Is it any wonder that many of Michigan's elected representatives do not wish to lose their power to levy and adjust the way we are taxed? We have an option, a choice, will we demand action? A MI FairTax will only be implemented when Michigan citizens demand it!     OUT AND ABOUT Roger Buchholtz: President of Michigan FairTax: Would you be happy to learn that under a Michigan FairTax you would be paying only 2.5% rather than the current 10% of your income, and that you would be more likely to retain your job?  It is a fact, that because of many untaxed expenditures, and the prebate, the effective MI FairTax rate would be reduced to 2.5% for a family of four earning a median family income in Michigan of $50,000. This means without exception that only 2.5% of a median families income would be going to pay Michigan taxes. A MI FairTax means repeal of the 4.35% state income tax and the current 6% sales tax. The MI FairTax rate is 9.75% on all goods and services, a rate which is modified by the prebate. Gone is the regressive invisible income tax which hides in the price of everything we buy, gone are the Michigan income tax compliance costs. Under a MI FairTax everyone pays their state tax at the checkout counter when they purchase a new item. People react in  many different ways.  Many upon hearing that the FairTax proposal places a 10% tax on everything they buy, including food and medicine, recoil saying, "That is too high'!, they do not realize that today's taxation is a hidden burden.  Most people do not have time to research the MI FairTax proposal, no time to immersed themselves in the subjects of economics and taxation. The Michigan FairTax, a proposal for the common good, a proposal that guarantees 21st Century prosperity in Michigan, a proposal that brings equality and justice to the Michigan tax system. The MI FairTax a proposal whose time has come.   WHAT'S HAPPENING DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND? Editorial The question begs an explanation. Our Michigan business community has yet to rise up en mass supporting the Michigan FairTax, and yet every Michigan business from the smallest to the largest stands to benefit in ways they never imagined. Let's take a look at business scenarios created by MI FairTax adoption on a state level. No Michigan business would be subject to the Michigan Business Tax, under a MI FairTax the MBT is eliminated. No Michigan business would pay personal property tax on their productive property each year, under the MI FairTax this tax is eliminated. Under the Michigan FairTax, no business in Michigan would be required to maintain tax records and calculate state withholding for any employee, the Michigan Income Tax and its record keeping become a thing of the past. Since there is no Michigan Income Tax, business's can use their accountants, lawyers and payroll accountants to improve the efficiency of their business instead of working for the government. Further savings would come through the elimination of the state 6 mill education  tax, a thing of the past under a MI FairTax. To top this all off, every Michigan business that acts as a supplier is going to experience a like drop in their costs of operation. Does price competition result in a lower cost for many of the supplies any business buys? This savings is not predictable, but an economic model would project further savings. How about the fact that only the business's that sell to the final consumer would collect and remit the Michigan FairTax. The current Michigan 6 percent sales tax eliminated, and is replaced by the 9.75 percent MI FairTax rate. One simple calculation, your retail sales volume times 9.75 percent, report and pay! That simple, that transparent! What businessperson, would not like to do business in a state where the tax structure was business friendly? A state that did not tax the tools of production and inventiveness? A state where your business could compete free of government tax interference. Michigan can be that state, but we must install a FairTax. The Michigan FairTax invites you on board because it represents your self interest to do so. The Michigan FairTax, a business friendly proposal that brings jobs and prosperity back to Michigan. Donald S. "Doby" Dobrosky Sr. Editor in Chief Michigan FairTax Clarion Sentinel CARTOONIST NEEDED CONTACT MI FAIRTAX.ORG   In This Issue Notable and Quotable FairTax Facts Out and About What's Happening! Did You Know? Donate Did You Know?   A VAT tax is indeed a Very Awful Tax. The primary  issue being the Government wishes to layer a VAT tax on top of all the taxes we now pay. They posture and refer to the VAT as a consumption tax, true, but that is where any similarity to a consumption based FairTax ends. The FairTax eliminates federal income and payroll taxes replacing the revenue with a simple retail sales tax. Washington politicians want to enslave us with a second layer of a Very Awful Tax, a tax they call value added. Passage of a Very Awful Tax means Americans are authorizing Washington to raise taxes at will, because the VAT will be hidden in the same manner taxes are hidden under the income tax. The Washington elite are rubbing their hands together as they contemplate a second way to raise taxes at will, and have the public believe it is inflation that is driving up the cost off goods and services. The truth is People Pay Taxes. Is it inflation that has caused price increases since 1945, or is it hidden income tax costs that cripple our household budgets? It is impossible to measure how much income taxes have driven up the cost of goods and services since the Second World War. A Very Awful Tax placed on top of our current system would represent double taxation. We need to recognize that a VAT does not promote equality and justice, and does not represent the best interest of the American people. A Very Awful Tax fills the pockets of Washington politicians with the funds to pursue further damage to our freedoms.     PATRIOTS ON         GUARD!   Current Events!   Locate an event or see what's going on at our website Calendar of Events   May 25th, Linden Rotary Club June 3rd, Detroit Exec Assoc.
