Herman Cain & Mike Huckabee Fired Up the Crowd

U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Senate sponsor of legislation to enact the Fair Tax, today attended a rally at the Georgia State Capitol organized in response to Jim Martin’s latest attack ad mischaracterizing the Fair Tax. The rally was organized by Georgians for Fair Tax and Americans for Fair Taxation. Saxby was joined by Georgia Congressman John Linder, radio talk show host Herman Cain, Georgians for Fair Tax President Gene Key and FairTax.org national communications director, Ken Hoagland.

“I am not surprised that Chuck Schumer would send a campaign commercial to Georgia that is an outright lie,” Linder said. “I am surprised and a little disappointed that Jim Martin would let it be a part of his campaign. Saxby did not vote to raise your taxes; he put forth a bill to reduce your taxes.”

Herman Cain summed up his participation saying, “I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to refute a lie.” Herman continued, “When they attack the Fair Tax with that lie that they run on TV, they also attacked a great Senator, Saxby Chambliss.”

Governor Mike Huckabee, a staunch supporter of the Fair Tax, was unable to attend the rally but sent the following letter:

Unfortunately, I could not be there with you today as you gather to rally in support of the Fair Tax.

Many of you often heard me say during the past Presidential campaign that I would have liked to be the President that nails the going-out-of-business sign on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) doors, well Congressman John Linder and Senator Saxby Chambliss feel the same way.

Just imagine, April 15 as just another beautiful spring day, not the dreaded day it has become for so many Americans.

How can you and I make this happen? The answer is amazingly simple - we need to enact the Fair Tax. And the only way that can happen is by electing strong leaders like Sen. Chambliss and Congressman Linder that will work to get the job done.

The fair tax would allow the American people to keep 100% of their paychecks.

Now the skeptics will say the Fair Tax will increase prices and is impossible to enact. Well it won’t, and it’s not. What I do know is this: the Fair Tax doesn’t have a chance if we don’t have the right courage and the right leadership in Congress to see the task through.

The latest attack on Senator Chambliss and the Fair Tax is deplorable, because it deliberately distorts the facts. The ad gives no evidence in support of its claim, only quotes taken out of context and the same old rhetoric we have come to expect from the far left. We cannot let these misrepresentations stand, they must be corrected.

I applaud Congressman Linder and Senator Chambliss for their steadfast support of not only the Fair Tax, but the conservative principles of Life, Marriage, and the 2nd amendment.

Fighting for the Cause,

Mike Huckabee

“It just shows you out of touch Chuck Schumer is and how out of touch Jim Martin to pick this issue that is so popular in the state where the people of Georgia are so knowledgeable about it to come to Georgia to try tell to Georgians how to vote,” Saxby said.

Saxby is seeking re-election for his second term in the United States Senate. His re-election has been endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 180 Georgia County Commissioners, 190 city officials, 239 law enforcement officers, over 100 Georgia Democrats including Zell Miller, Georgia’s seven Republican members of Congress, U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, T. Boone Pickens, Georgia veterans including Vets for Freedom political action committee and the Veterans of Foreign Wars political action committee, National Federation of Independent Business, the National Community Pharmacists Association. He is the Ranking Republican Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Senate Rules Committee. Senator Chambliss previously represented Georgia’s 8th congressional district for four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives where he served as the Chairman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security.
