SOUTH CAROLINA PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE - FAIR TAX RALLY

8,000 Fair Tax supporters led by Radio Talk Show Host Neal Boortz and a High School marching band left the Carolina Coliseum and crossed the street to the Koger Center the sight for the GOP debate airing on Fox News in less than an hour.

With voices in unison chanting, "fair tax now, fair tax now, " the supporters drowned out all traffic and other sounds in the streets on Columbia, SC and also over came protesters who had shown up to deliver their liberal anti-war chants.

Congressman Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee attended the Fair Tax Rally in support of the Fair Tax and each spoke expressing their backing of the tax change that would eliminate the IRS and change the entire tax system to a consumption tax if adopted by Congress.

The purpose of the rally was to attract the attention of GOP candidates and the GOP in hopes of getting the Fair Tax on the party platform for the 08 Presidential run. With the massive crowd that now surrounds the Koger Center and the active participation of three of the ten GOP candidates attending the debate, it would seem that the rally was not only a success but that the grassroots campaign for the Fair Tax has finally received the nationwide attention needed for passage.
