Will the national government complete its takeover of American health care?  What will bureaucratic decisions made in Washington mean for elderly patients?  What will happen to the quality of health services in the US?  What will happen to doctor-patient relationships?  Is there any way to stop the march of socialized medicine?

Closer to home, will Gov. Brewer succeed in getting the Legislature to put a billion-dollar sales tax increase on the Arizona ballot?  What would that mean for taxpayers?  What would that mean for recipients of government services?  What will that mean for education reform?  How will Arizona taxpayers respond?  

You have lots of questions for your state legislators and for policy experts.  And we've got some answers.  Friday night, July 24, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, the Arizona Chapter of Americans for Prosperity Foundation is sponsoring a Taxpayer Town Hall meeting at the Poco Diablo Radisson Resort at 1752 S. State Route 179 in Sedona.

Confirmed speakers will include AFPF Arizona director Tom Jenney, health care policy expert Dr. Byron Schlomach of the Goldwater Institute, and education policy analyst Dr. Matthew Ladner of the Goldwater Institute.  We have made room in the schedule for more than an hour of Q&A from the public, with editor Carl Jackson of Sedona.biz moderating.

All legislators from Legislative District 1 (Yavapai County) have been invited to participate in this nonpartisan event: Senator Steve Pierce, and Representatives Lucy Mason and Andy Tobin.  

If you have not done so already, RSVP to infoAZ@afphq.org, and let us know you're coming.  The room at the Poco Diablo Radisson seats about 75 people, so we need to know as soon as possible if we will need to make accommodations for more persons.  There is no charge for this event.

It is very important for Tea Partiers and other Yavapai County taxpayers to come to this event.  Much is at stake in the national health care policy battle, and in the budget battles down at the Arizona state Capitol.
