We (Don and Lyn Williamson) luckily made it into this event due to a cancellation of another vendor. It started this morning at 10:00 a.m. and lasted until 5:00 p.m. We had a very successful day and were able to sign up 169 FairTax petitioners.

Even while we were setting up, we had other vendors asking for the petition and we believe there is a tremendous amount of support for the Fair Tax.

More importantly, we let the local Conyers and Rockdale supporters that there is now an official Fair
Tax presence to help them in coordinating their own events. It should be noted that I had a chance to talk with candidate Hank Johnson (D) who is running for the 4th Congressional District and who also is officially non-committed. He was surprised to learn that there were in fact Democratic co-sponsors of H.R. 25 and said he would review the scorecard again. He did seem to understand that the issue is an American issue and not a political one.

Lessons learned-
1. People that have never heard of the Fair Tax were more willing to sign when they understood that this was not a Democratic, Republican, Green, or any other party, but it was an American issue for Americans.

2. Don't let people just walk by if they say they support the Fair Tax. Ask them if they have ever signed the official petition and they will go racing to the table.

3 There is a great deal of interest for a petition to the Georgia General Assembly and the Governor to do away with our own state income tax, and maybe this is where the GAFAIRTAX.ORG becomes the
main engine to drive this desire.
