Martin Sturmer received his BS in Business Administration, with a concentration in Finance, from California State University Sacramento, where his interest in business and finance got its start.
Martin recognized the need for tax reform long before the Tea Party held its first protest, growing out of his frustration at having to file tax returns in 6 different states because his Wife was a partner in a NY law firm. The whole system was mind-boggling.
His search for an organization devoted to tax reform ultimately led him to Americans For Fair Taxation, a grass roots organization devoted to eliminating the federal income tax system and replacing it with a federal consumption tax as best expressed by The FAIRtax, which would also eliminate the need for the IRS as an enforcement agency. Martin currently serves as the State Director in California.

Bob began his working life as a radio DJ back when radio stations were run by real people, not computers. He started out doing weekends on WMDE in Greensboro NC, and then moved on to WTIK in Durham, NC, WMOP in Ocala FL and WRYO in Crystal River FL. While doing radio was definitely a fun job, it wasn’t the greatest living in the world. So, Bob retired from radio and spent nearly thirty years as a computer programmer before retiring for good in 2011.
Like many other FAIRtax Volunteers, he became aware of The FAIRtax listening to Neal Boortz. It wasn’t long after retiring as a programmer Bob returned to his radio roots. Teaming up with Ron Maiellaro, they became “The FAIRtax Guys” and began hosting FAIRtax Power Radio, a weekly 30 minute program dedicated to educating people about The FAIRtax and advocating for its passage.
Today, FTPR is heard around the world on Facebook, YouTube, Parler, Periscope, spreaker.com, iHeart Radio, Apple Podcasts and the free FAIRtax Power Radio app. In 2020, the Guys teamed up with Bob Scarborough in North Carolina to bring the program to terrestrial radio. They’re currently heard on WTOB in Winston-Salem, NC, WAME in Statesville, NC and WLSC in Loris, SC.

During 36 years of hectic legal practice Randy Fischer had dozens of interactions with IRS. None of them showed much, if any, agency competency. He read about a Citizens initiative to end taxation of income, and by 1999 used his legal skills to find and research HR 25 The Fair Tax Act. He was hooked and decided in 2001-2002 to try to build local groups in Ocala and Gainesville with modest success. And then, life interrupted especially the destruction of the economy in 2007 and efforts at building off what was the beginning of a state organization came to a halt.
With retirement in 2012 he wanted to devote full time as a Florida FAIRtax Board Member helping with logistics and research on a state memorial and quickly moving to get then lagging social media efforts opened up on multiple platforms. In 2014 Randy traveled to Houston, volunteered as coordinator of a Marketing and Communications Team and the rest as they say has been history.

Pearson M.A. retired to apply himself to various personal interest projects.
Chief personal interest being passage of The FAIRtax Act (H.R 25) and the repeal of the grossly unconstitutional 16th Amendment which ushered in the reinstatement of Slavery, for ALL Americans.

I also participated in the organizational meeting of Americans for Fair Taxation in Houston Texas when the Grassroots officially took over the organization.
