Below is an email I received from an organizer of a FairTax rally in Nashville.

The Rally is Saturday, April 12, 2008, from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the Riverfront Park in Nashville.  Attendees will need to arrive at the parking area (to be announced) by 11:00 am, since the Rally starts at the Riverfront Park at 12:00 noon.  Then, at 2:30 pm the march to the Capitol departs the park to be done by about 5:00 pm.

“A river a mile wide and a half inch deep.” This is what I heard a self perceived right wing conservatives say a few months ago when they were referring to FairTax supporters. At the time, he and his friends were trying to say that we were a very small group with a big mouth. It was their intent to minimize the FairTax and in doing so minimize a certain up-and-coming presidential candidate.

The media outlets have consistently played FairTax off with the same attitude. When it became clear that people were actually beginning to pay attention to what we have been saying, some folks started getting scared. This is evident in the constant hit jobs being slung out from every corner and by every profession where people see that their gravy train is coming under scrutiny.

We are having a Rally in Nashville at noon on April 12, 2008. We will meet up at the Riverfront Park, 100 1st Ave North. Different speakers will cover some points of discussion as to how FairTax affects many facets of our every day lives. We will muster up and march to the Nashville capital building at 2:30. As we walk we will show the community how wide and deep we are. Our group may be 500 people or it may be 50,000 people. Regardless of the number, we have to start somewhere and this is it. We will announce another soon to be staged rally in another city, and hopefully we can build from the momentum of this first one in Nashville. The next rally will be the second of many footsteps on the route to victory.

We must keep FairTax in the public eye. We must refuse to be ignored.

The purpose of this Rally is not to have ourselves entertained by eloquent speakers but to initiate an ever growing, ever visible force of Americans demanding a change in the way our government treats its people. This rally and the rallies to follow are about momentum and public exposure. It is about being on the streets waving signs in groups that hopefully number into the thousands at some point soon.

Help us take the first step by coming to Nashville in April.
