I just ran across this website while reading letters from FairTax volunteers and checked it out. It is a new site without much information, but they seem to have some good ideas, among them the FairTax. They expressed concern that the FairTax bill would not eliminate the 16th Amendment.
I think too much store is put into the elimination of the 16th Amendment. The 16th Amendment allows for an income tax, but does not require it. Let's pass the FairTax bill (HR25 & S1025) first, then enjoy its benefits, and finally, after a 5 year trial period of the FairTax, repeal the 16th Amendment.
I don't know if this website is the beginning of a new political party or a spin-off of conservative Republicans, but it will be interesting to keep an eye on it and see how it evolves.

Actually there is a part in the FairTax proposal that requires FairTax to be discontinued after 5 years if the 16th amendment isn't repealed by that time.
Congress would then be led to either reestablish the income tax (which would be hugely unpopular) or repeal the 16th amendment.
Tanner,
No there isn't.
