Fair Tax Day of Action UPDATE!

Due to inclement weather, plans have changed for the Fair Tax Day of Action as follows:

Although there will be no outdoor rally at the Lincoln Statue, the Fair Tax lobby day is going forward.

Check in at the AFL-CIO offices (534 S. Second Street) starting at 11 a.m. (until 2 p.m.) to pick up your lobbying assignment and materials. Box lunches will be provided.

If you signed up for a bus through the Think Big web page, they will leave as scheduled and come directly to the AFL-CIO.

With the legislature planning to vote on the fair tax amendment resolution in the coming weeks, there's never been a more important time to make our voices heard on this critical issue.
