Feet to the Fire – April 15, 2011
AZFT
volunteers attended the Feet to the Fire event hosted by Americans for
Prosperity and the Phoenix Tea Party. With 500 in attendance, we had
the opportunity to educate people, and to arm them with literature to
spread the word to friends and neighbors. We also had the opportunity
to hold Arizona's congressional representatives feet to the fire about
theire support of the FairTax by asking attendees to sign a petition
to their representative, thanking them for thier support (Flake and Franks)
or to become a co-sponsor of HR 25.

Thanks to volunteers (left–right) Judy and Nelson Fink, Steve Scoggin
(not shown) and Charlene Westgate, we not only educated hundreds of people,
but we were also able to speak with most of the candidates in districts
3, 5 and 6—and, we found 2 candidates who pledged to co-sponsor the FairTax
if elected. Check out the scorecard to discover
who they are!
