: As the White House receives its newest occupants, a window of
: opportunity opens
: for Americans committed to repealing the income tax. President
: Bush hails from
: the state of Texas a state that gets by quite nicely without
: an income tax. Many
: leaders of the national sales tax movement, both in and out of
: government, hail
: from Texas as well. Many have his ear. President Bush has
: already signaled he is
: open to major tax reform as a long-term goal. Replacing the
: federal income tax
: with a national retail sales tax is not a partisan goal. In
: the last session of
: Congress, Representatives Collin Peterson (D-Minnesota) and
: John Linder
: (R-Georgia) joined to sponsor just such timely legislation,
: and recruited
: significant numbers of cosponsors from both sides of the
: aisle.

: All that remains is for us to get to work. If there is one
: unfortunate lesson
: learned during the past several years, it is that courage and
: leadership are
: rare among the political class. Most elected officials are
: cautious and
: primarily concerned with retaining office. What's more,
: abolishing the income
: tax would severely curtail their power. Therefore, although
: the political
: situation has never before been as favorable for reform as it
: is now, our
: friends in Washington will not move if not pushed.
: Advocating income tax repeal is not about being Republican or
: Democrat, Liberal
: or Conservative. It's about believing in individual liberty,
: personal autonomy,
: justice, fairness, and empowerment. It's humanitarian. As more
: Americans are
: educated about the benefits of converting to a national sales
: tax, momentum
: grows for the proposal. Once that momentum hits critical mass,
: the politicians
: will feel the quaking of the ground beneath their feet, the
: rumbling caused by
: the energy of grassroots.
: Join the rumble today!

: There are many ways for citizen-activists to seize the moment.
: Of course, urging
: Washington Representatives to support legislation such as last
: session's
: Linder-Peterson Bill is an easy first step. Attending
: representatives "town
: meetings" and other community meetings and
: working in "plugs" for a national sales tax at every
: turn is another.

: We must educate our fellow citizens about the injustice of the
: unfair income tax
: and how to replace it with a consumption tax. This means
: sending information to
: email lists; speaking on the topic at church and civic group
: meetings; writing
: letters to the editors of newspapers and magazines; calling in
: on talk-radio
: shows.
: It falls to each of us to find our own best way to help the
: cause and one thing
: is certain: the window of opportunity will not remain open
: indefinitely.
: The Latin expression says it best: carpe diem ~ and in
: English? - Seize the day!
: Jeffrey A. Singer, MD is a surgeon and political activist in
: Phoenix, Arizona.
: He was Treasurer of "The Taxpayer Protection
: Alliance," is on the board of
: directors of CATS-Arizona, and is an active member of
: Americans for Fair
: Taxation.
: Your help is urgently needed today. Tax season is approaching
: and Americans for
: Fair Taxation is being flooded with requests for more
: information. The time is
: ripe for reform and we must act quickly.
: Help us respond to these requests today while the time is
: ripe! Please click:
