Huckabee looking for donations

Press Release: 400 Contributors To Donate Price Of Last Haircut To Mike Huckabee’s Presidential Campaign: Next 48 Hours Critical To Goal
Thursday, May 24, 2007

LITTLE ROCK, AR – Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee’s campaign announced a new fundraising drive late Tuesday to take in donations at the price of an average haircut from at least 400 individual contributors in 96 hours. Now at its midway point, the campaign has nearly hit its target.
The drive started at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 and will end at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 26, 2007.
Huckabee said the goal of the drive is to underscore comments he made last week at the GOP Presidential Debate in Columbia, SC. “A joke I used in the last Republican debate comparing Congressional spending to John Edwards spending money in a beauty shop seems to have gone over pretty well. While I used humor to illustrate my point, the fact is, most hard-working Americans have to budget for everyday expenses such as getting a haircut,” he said.
“Perhaps if Senators and Members of Congress were more in touch with the real concerns of average Americans, they would be more responsible with the money of their constituents,” said Huckabee, who launched his presidential exploratory committee in late January.
Huckabee said he believes that “connecting with average Americans is critical to the Republican Party’s prospects” of holding onto the presidency in 2008. “I hope my supporters will use this opportunity to weigh in with the campaign while having a little fun,” he said.
Donations in the amount of an individual’s last haircut can be made online at www.explorehuckabee.com or by calling Huckabee’s exploratory campaign headquarters at 1-501-324-2008. Donations are not tax deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

400 donations at $10 each (what I pay for a haircut) may not go a long way but it does get a number of average people involved.
In addition, Huckabee has posted a video on YouTube about getting rid of the IRS and instituting a Fair Tax.

Fair Tax? What do you think?
