RLC heeds Americans for Prosperity's 'Call to Action'

Americans for Prosperity is a nationwide grass roots lobbying organization that is launching its operations in Florida with a ambitious project: securing a Taxpayer Protection Amendment for our state.
To do this, they are pulling together a coalition of Florida organizations, from the grass roots to the well-heeled, to lobby the legislature for serious institutional restraints on spending, much like Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights.
On Saturday January 26, 2008, from noon to 5 p.m., we'll be converging on Orlando for a AFP and RLC co-sponsored "Defending the American Dream Summit" focusing on this and other pro-market projects. Join us!
Invited speakers include several presidential candidates, including Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul, as well as House Speaker Marc Rubio, radio host Neal Boortz and U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney. Plus, there will be experts on grass roots mobilization with information about Florida's tax and spending crisis, and what we're going to do about it in the 2008 legislative session.
After the Summit, at 5 p.m., the state board of the RLC of Florida will be meeting to discuss our priorities for 2008. The meeting will be open to the public. For more information, call (561) 254-8458.
