Noted Atlanta talk show host, Neal Boortz, announced today that he has become a member of the GOOOH movement (pronounced “go”), after urging by many members of his radio audience. In his December 21st blog, “Nealz Nuze,” he writes, “How many of you think that today's Washington bears any resemblance to the type of governance envisioned by the colleagues of Samuel Adams in 1776?”
Speaking of the GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE group's goal of replacing all 435 House members in the 2010 election, Boortz writes, “Our Republic can no longer survive the inattention of voters who think that 434 of the rascals ought to be replaced, but that their very own particular congressman is doing just fine, thank you very much.” Boortz is well-known as co-author of The Fair Tax Book, which advocates replacing income and payroll-based taxes with a national retail sales tax.
Boortz’s endorsement represents a milestone for the non-partisan movement. It follows Sunday morning’s Fox & Friends interview of GOOOH founder, Tim Cox. After the interview, the www.GOOOH.com website received 25,000 visits, and 8,000 people signed on as new members.
The GOOOH movement seeks to unite Tea Party, conservative, moderate and liberal groups to replace all 435 members of the House of Representatives by selecting citizen candidates independent of special interest money and two-party politics. Many Americans resent the strongarm tactics employed recently to push a Healthcare Bill through the Congress, despite polls showing a majority of Americans do not want the legislation in its current form. Recently, the Abigail Adams Project and Fair Tax Nation have decided to work together with GOOOH to restore representation to the House.
