Roll Call reported on our Online Tax Revolt efforts last week. Here’s an excerpt:
With the deadline for tax filings just two weeks away, several groups including the Fair Tax Campaign, Tea Party Express, Americans for Tax Reform and FreedomWorks are banding together physically and digitally to urge Congress to overhaul the tax code.
While the advocates aren’t necessarily in agreement about how Congress should move forward to change the tax code, Ken Hoagland, chairman of the recently formed Online Tax Revolt and the Fair Tax Campaign, said it’s an unprecedented show of unity among tax reformers.
“A lot of tax reform groups are coming together,” Hoagland said. “Most often we’re debating each other, but we have said, ‘That can wait.’”
Americans for Tax Reform’s Grover Norquist agrees, calling the decision to work together “smart politics and common sense.”
“Right now, we are all moving in the same direction,” he added.
