AFP: Giant ATM Cash Machine Coming to a Street Corner Near You

Dear Arizona Taxpayer: The Arizona chapter of Americans for Prosperity is about to launch a statewide ATM Tour. ATM stands for “Already Taxed to the Max !” The centerpiece of the March tour is our gigantic inflatable ATM machine, and our message for Arizona politicians is that they should stop treating taxpayers like an ATM machine whenever government spends too much money and gets short on cash. For each event, we will invite local taxpayers, business leaders, candidates, and legislators to speak out against the BILLION-DOLLAR SALES TAX HIKE that will be on the May 18 ballot. To see a photo of the ATM, go here: http://www.americansforprosperity.org/022510-three-big-taxpayer-events-scottsdale (Or go to www.aztaxpayers.org, and scroll down under What’s New.)

More info on the Bed Tax:http://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/article/4423 Bring the ATM Machine to a Street Corner Near YOU: Please write to us soon at tjenney@afphq.org and let us know if there is a busy intersection near you that would be good for a visit from the ATM Machine during a morning or evening rush hour in the month of March. We need to make sure there is enough space in the public right-of-way for the ATM Machine. Even better would be a private parking lot—it must be owned by a sympathetic local business!—right next to a busy street or intersection. We regularly update our statewide taxpayer events list at www.aztaxpayers.org.
