Today in history was the first recorded hot air balloon flight, Google reminds us. Americans for Prosperity is making history with the second leg of our nationwide hot air balloon tour to expose the unaffordable costs of global warming alarmism.

AFP's seventy-foot-tall hot air balloon will visit six more states from June 17th through June 21st, making stops in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Ohio. (A full schedule is pasted below.)

Bring the family, co-workers, and friends out to experience the Hot Air Tour first-hand and learn about the $1.2 trillion energy tax hike Al Gore and global warming alarmists are pushing.

We'll be offering free t-shirts, free tethered hot air balloon rides (weather permitting), and a free meal. The event is completely free, but be sure to register online so we can update you with important details.
