NEWEST CO-SPONSOR
 
Sometimes seeds you plant sprout years later. That’s what happened with our Alabama Team when they went to work on Congressman Gary Palmer, who represents the Sixth District of that state. Congressman Palmer became our 31st co-sponsor of the FAIRtax on May 14, 2019 and the first to join since January.

 
Congressman Palmer had been a co-sponsor in the 114th Congress from 2015-2016. Alabama State Director, Chuck Bailey, writes in response to a question whether our Sixth-District Team was active in soliciting Palmer two Congresses ago, “Yes! Mary Lynn and I were totally involved with Jackie and Art Matthews, the District 6 Director at two/four-on-one discussions and attending town halls.”


 
Congressman Palmer evidently decided to take a vacation from the FAIRtax in the last Congress. But he got back on the bill this Congress on his own. State Director Chuck Bailey sent a note thanking the Congressman for his co-sponsorship.
 
Now our Alabama Team will be motivated to perform maintenance. In FAIRtax terms that means educating the public in Congressman Palmer’s district about the benefits of a consumption tax like the FAIRtax. Members of Congress need to see support in their districts.
 
For many of us, maintenance would be a nice problem to have. Meanwhile, Congressman Palmer’s move shows that we can continue to grow our list of co-sponsors.
