It would lower everybody's taxes and create more jobs. Even research companies who are dead set AGAINST having a Fair-Tax their studies show an economical boost and lower taxes. So why don't people want to learn about it?

Women's right to vote was an uphill battle, defeating the British Twice was an uphill battle, defeating Nazi Germany was an uphill battle, we must educate everyone we possibly can until the pile of letters and the stink of lost elections on this issue reaches so high no one can ignore us. At the end of the day it is up to us to make our representitives understand the importance of this bill and the benefits we as a society would reap from it.

For one, as you might know by now, people won't learn about the proposed national sales tax because they haven't heard of it. ("Fair Tax" is an uninformative and propagandistic title -- like the "USA PATRIOT Act" -- so it should be avoided. People themselves should decide how fair they think it is.)
Also, there is very little support for a national sales tax within the U.S. government itself, so it is unlikely that such a tax will ever be enacted. (Most in government support the current system, and most other support some form of flat income tax.) Most people have little interest in specific political proposals to begin with, but even more so when the proposal is unlikely to be enacted. Not everyone likes the idea of a national sales tax or agrees that it will have such positive results. The effects of such a tax can be reasonably predicted, but they can't be truly known in advance, and the prospect of change makes most people uneasy.
Sorry I can't be more encouraging, but you're facing quite an uphill battle.

if you want to educate people on this tax thing, you must tell them where they can read the text of this proposal!

You never explained what it was. It sounds like an oxymoron.

Because there is nothing "fair" about taxation.
