Occupy Phoenix -- Oct 15, 2011

Unfortunately, that sign represents the thinking of a small minority of the people present at the Occupy Phoenix rally. Most of the thinking down at the park (to the extent that clear policy proposals were actually available) was very much in favor of Big Government, and very much against free markets.

Addendum on 10/19/2011: Here is an op-ed by AFP president Tim Phillips about the Occupy Wall Street movement:

Please see below a few photos from last Friday’s town hall meeting in Derry at which Governor Rick Perry signed AFP-NH Honorary Chairman, Tom Thomson’s, Presidential Pledge.

The Two Shake Hands After

As national attention focused on Florida last week, AFP-Florida prepared for three days of jam packed events in Orlando. Hundreds of you joined us for the Presidency 5 Presidential Debate and straw poll, the speeches and educational sessions of CPAC, and one of the highlights of the weekend – the truly inspirational Florida AFP Foundation “Suite Tea” Breakfast with Andrew Breitbart.

Patriots were out in full force! We too were on-sight distributing t-shirts and educational materials, as well as our ever-so-popular “It’s the Spending, Stupid!” buttons. We handed out 3,500 of them and they became a prominent fixture on lapels and sweaters throughout the weekend. If you have a picture of you and your friends wearing one of our buttons or shirts please email us at info.fl@afphq.org. You can see the pictures we have already received posted here.
