TOPEKA, KAN. – The Kansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity Foundation will honor Dr. Milton Friedman on July 30 as part of a national day of recognition for the Nobel Laureate, his work, theories, and contributions. The Friedman Legacy for Freedom Day is being celebrated in every state and in 5 countries.

The luncheon is being sponsored by the Foundation for Educational Choice, the continuation of the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation.

TOPEKA, KAN. –The Kansas chapter of the grassroots group Americans for Prosperity today released its 2010 Legislative Score Cards. Each year the fiscally conservative group tracks how legislators vote on a number of key issues and then posts the scores for its members.

In 2010, AFP tracked legislators’ votes on tax increases, spending constraints, the statewide smoking ban, transportation, and the budget. The purpose of the score card is to provide Kansans with information on whether their legislators are fiscally conservative and limited government oriented.

Now that the 2010 Legislative session is adjourned, we have gone back and taken a look at how each and every legislator voted on certain key issues. Don't rely on their campaign brochures, check for yourself to see how your legislator voted on taxes, spending and other issues.

Tax Day (April 15th) is coming, and we've heard from a number of Kansans who are organizing Tea Parties in their area. Thousands of you rallied with us on tax day last year at events around the state, and we look forward to another day of tea partying in 2010! If we've missed the tea party in your area, please contact us with all the details at infoks@afphq.org.

All of the tea parties below take place on Thursday, April 15th unless otherwise noted:
