The FairTax was well represented at the Cumming Fairgrounds July 3rd Celebration. Diane Earnest organized a group of volunteers that included Carl and Gail McCormick, Kay Charboneau, David Hancock, Marvin Lefebvre, Rob Glass, Sam and Perrianne Bates, Amanda Swafford, Chris Barnes, and Don Webb. According to Diane, the FairTax has strong support in Forsyth County. 45 people added their names and email addresses to our list of FairTax supporters.
The team also had an opportunity to speak with politicians and candidates for office who had booths at the festival. Georgia State Senator Jack Murphy spoke with David Hancock at length. David found him to be an enthusiastic supporter of the FairTax at both the national and state level. Michael Williams, candidate for Georgia State Senate from Cumming, came by our booth and also spoke with David. He, too, is an enthusiastic supporter of the FairTax on a national and state level.
Diane and David also visited the Forsyth County Democrat Party booth to talk about the FairTax. According to Diane, they had a great positive back-and-forth discussion of the FairTax. One of their supporters in the booth told everyone in the booth that he was a FairTax supporter and already on our mailing list. With more discussions like this one to explain the FairTax, answer questions, and clear up misconceptions, we could get more bipartisan support for the FairTax bill. Good job Diane and David!
Thanks to all of the volunteers for making the Cumming event so successful!
