I'm on my Republican Congressman Youth Advisory council and I need DU Help

[Terran1212]

Hi, I'm a 17 year old in Georgia, and I've always had a little affinity for radical politics (your zinn and chomsky for one; I supported Nader in 2004 )

I'm on Congressman Tom Price's youth council. He's a stark anti-illegal and anti-tax advocate, and he's been in the US House for a few months, and it seems to be the topics he's most interested in.

I still remember the ridiculous rhetoric he had in his opening presentation two months ago, and I regret not showing any dissent to him there.

Since then I've met again with our youth advisory group (but not him -- his female director held the meeting), and I volunteered to take the opposition stance on a Fair Tax discussion next month.

I know I live in about the second-most Republican district in the nation, but I'm still surprised at how he's managed to gather the students that agree with him most. Few students in my group or the other two strongly disagree with the Neoconservative agenda as much as me.

Is it possible for you guys to help me with my Anti-FairTax arguments? I know for sure the psuedo-secretary and my group will be there next time, but Mr. Price might even make the meeting -- and it will be hard as hell debating against him.

I checked out the Boortz book; I hate the massive reduction of taxes on wealthy, but the prebate idea counters are argument that the tax might be regressive; it looks as if they aren't radical enough to slam the poor without relief.

I need help from DU to kill this thing. Rep. Price is one of the few consponsors of this radically free-market bill, and if I can take on our youth advisory council and win the debate, I can maybe get to him and his Party agenda as well.

So, any help would be great.

Thanks!
