Today's SWAC-GOP Breakfast featured an all-star lineup from Americans For Prosperity, providing laughter, information, and an opportunity to be with like-minded folks who believe in low taxes and controlled spending.

Paul Harris, the charismatic Virginia state chairman for APF, said on Saturday:

“We need a surge of conservatism and its ideals from Fairfax to Roanoke to Charlottesville,” Harris said. He asked the audience to speak out and hold their legislators accountable.
...
“We need to stop needless regulation and eliminate wasteful government”...
Emphasizing the grassroots nature of the organization, Harris added that ...
... while special interests spend millions to lobby Congress in Washington and the General Assembly in Richmond, members of Americans For Prosperity can write letters to the editor and stand for responsible government.
