Americans For Prosperity-North Carolina State Director Dallas Woodhouse today commended State Senator Larry Shaw on his years of service to the state after he announced his retirement from the Legislature.

"Senator Shaw stood up for North Carolina's children every time he spoke out in favor of giving them greater education choices through public charter schools. He also embodies the vitrue of civilitiy in public discourse that is increasingly rare in Raleigh today", Woodhouse said.

AFP Gets Sanford Business Privilege Tax Repealed

Congratulations to our Lee County Chapter who did a fantastic job getting the Sanford City Council to repeal the controversial Business Privilege Tax. Our local leaders have worked for two years and the victory was a long time in coming. Our Lee County members worked hard to educate the public and make this an important issue in the recent city elections.

Dear Friends,

What a year 2009 has been. Our free enterprise system, which made us the most powerful and prosperous country in history, has been under constant assault. We have all been astounded by the sheer number of bad bills and initiatives coming out of Congress and the NC legislature. Individual economic freedom, which we cherish, is under attack.
