Arlington, VA- Today Americans for Prosperity (AFP) announced the successful completion of National Prosperity Action Day with over 400,000 live calls made yesterday by grassroots volunteers throughout the country. The calls were designed to change the tone of the political debate in favor of economic freedom and limited government.
AFP President Tim Phillips joined Virginia state director Audrey Jackson and dozens of volunteers at AFP’s field office in Leesburg, VA. Their words of encouragement were broadcast via live stream to hundreds of phone banks across the country.
“What a great day for economic freedom!” Said Tim Phillips, President of Americans for Prosperity. “This truly shows our strength as an organization and the strength of our field program. Thank you to the thousands of volunteers who made calls throughout the country. It is because of our grassroots activists that AFP easily surpassed our goal of 250,000 and made over 400,000 live phone calls in a single day.”
Over 100 AFP offices hosted phone banks yesterday to mobilize concerned citizens and send a powerful message to President Obama. The National Prosperity Action Day builds on AFP’s successful field program, which has already placed nearly 3.8 million issue advocacy calls using the Freedom Phones technology.
The National Prosperity Action Day is a coalition effort supported by multiple fiscally conservative organizations including 60 Plus, Concerned Woman for America, and the National Rifle Association.
LEESBURG, VA – Americans for Prosperity, the nation’s leading
grassroots advocate for economic freedom and limited government, will
host a “National Prosperity Action Day” on Saturday, September 22. This
nationwide event will harness the combined strength of AFP field staff,
volunteers, activists, and coalition partners to make hundreds of
thousands of phone calls for economic freedom. The phone banks will be
hosted at over 80 AFP field offices around the country, each using the
advanced “Freedom Phones” technology.
AFP President Tim Phillips and special guest Kate Obenshain will greet
volunteers and give remarks at the AFP field office in Leesburg, VA.
“Our National Prosperity Action Day will give concerned Americans the opportunity to do something about President Obama’s failing agenda,” explained Tim Phillips, President of Americans for Prosperity. “Americans are tired of sitting on the sidelines while Washington spends away our future and drives us deeper into debt. This Saturday, they will get to respond.”
AFP’s newly-opened field office in Leesburg, VA will serve as the hub of the day’s activity, where AFP president Tim Phillips and other national staff will take part in the action, and track progress of offices around the country. AFP activists have already made nearly 3.8 million issue advocacy calls using Freedom Phones. The National Prosperity Action Day builds on the field program effort and will demonstrate the capacity of the technology for reaching and mobilizing concerned citizens.
“We look forward to greatly boosting already robust grassroots advocacy efforts, and sending a clear message to Obama that Americans are tired of his big-government agenda that has led to more spending, more debt, and fewer jobs,” Phillips continued.
The National Prosperity Action Day is a coalition effort supported by multiple fiscally conservative organizations including 60 Plus, Concerned Woman for America, and the National Rifle Association.
