FairTax Speaker™
Imagine your life without the I.R.S.!
Do you know how time-intensive it is to gather news items relating to the FairTax and then post them to your web site or group? Well, if you've ever done it, you know. It gets old really fast and the task falls by the way side.
Your life just got easier.
FairTax Speaker already has a news accumulation system that any member can contribute to. Now, we're taking it to the next level. You can now use one of our custom news feeds for your web site.
So when you contribute a news item to the FairTax Speaker web site, it will be instantly available to every member or web site who has subscribed to the feed.
The feeds are available either as an RSS feed, for those of you who can utilize such a feed, or as a tabular HTML feed that you can directly embed into a page on your web site.
The RSS feed follows the RSS 2.0 standard. The HTML feed begins with a standard tabular layout using CSS for display characteristics. If you'd like to propose alternate layouts, let us know. If we think your layout would be useful to others, we'll create it and add it to the choices available to all.
If news is hard to keep up with up, events are usually even worse because they age rather quickly. There's nothing that dates your web site more than displaying events that have come and gone.
Once again, your problem is solved.
FairTax Speaker already has an Event Management System that any member can contribute to. We break down the geography of events from national all the way to local and categorize them as well.
So when you contribute an event to the FairTax Speaker web site, it will be instantly available to every member or web site who has subscribed to the feed.
The feeds are available either as an RSS feed, for those of you who can utilize such a feed, or as a tabular HTML feed that you can directly embed into a page on your web site. The customization for events goes beyond the one-size-fits-all model. You can request a feed with both geographical and categorical customization, so you can limit the feed to just what you want.
The RSS feed follows the RSS 2.0 standard. The HTML feed begins with a standard tabular layout using CSS for display characteristics. If you'd like to propose alternate layouts, let us know. If we think your layout would be useful to others, we'll create it and add it to the choices available to all.
I have to say something about a trend of some Internet Service Providers (ISP) to turn their failure to keep SPAM out of their network into a product that puts the burden on the sender and, to a lesser extent, on the account holder.
To put it bluntly, I find this offensive to all the legitimate web sites and e-mail users. My recommendation is to vote with your feet and find one of the many e-mail providers that do an excellent job of keeping SPAM out of your inbox.
This web site has a policy that it is not your SPAM monitor. No one here will respond to a SPAM challenge message. The e-mail software and web site treat a challenge as a bounce. As a policy, once an e-mail address has a bounce status, the account is deactivated and no further messages are sent to that account.
Some of the bigger offenders are:
So, if you use one of these SPAM challenge services and you want to use this web site, you will have to do whatever is necessary to prevent a challenge in response to a message sent from the web site. This is sometimes called white-listing. Whatever it's called, you will need to do it.
If you use one of the SPAM challenge systems, you need to white-list addresses from the domains aplusconsultants.com and fairtaxspeaker.com.
The policy is explained to members at the time that they sign up.
Just so you know that this web site is doing its part, FairTax Speaker protects all e-mail addresses that are displayed anywhere on this web site. The site uses different methods to do this and those methods are changed from time to time.
If there are any recent bugs or annoyances that have been corrected, they will appear here. The Training site has it's own Notices page, so Training fixes will not appear here.
While we're in the growing mode, we'll list all the elected officials that are configured for the Congressional Contact System (sm). When we reach a critical mass, we'll change this to show only the ones that we have not yet configured.
