“AxTheTax” and Stop Prop 100 are proud to announce:

"Joe The Plumber" To Headline Rally

Phoenix, Arizona—March 18, 2010—A coalition of pro-taxpayer and small business organizations have asked Joe Wurzelbacher to headline a rally to be held on Friday, March 26th, at 11 am, on the lawn of the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona.

The rally is being held in response to the proposed 18% increase in the state sales tax that will be on the ballot for a vote on May 18th, 2010. The coalition has come together to fight an increase in taxes during this long and difficult recession.

The coalition is composed of various groups including: Ax The Tax – No on 100, the Arizona Chapter of Americans for Prosperity, National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the Arizona Free Enterprise Club, the 2010 Project, the North Phoenix Tea Party, Mesa Tea Party, East Valley Tea Party Patriots and the PAChyderm Coalition.

With Arizona’s economy already in trouble, unemployment at critical levels, and consumer spending down from a few years ago, raising the sales tax during this recession is an unwise choice that will only make things worse. Arizona’s budget solution should be to restore the size of the budget to a prudent and responsible amount.

Along with Joe the Plumber, the rally will feature prominent speakers from the sponsoring groups. This event is free and open to the public.
