The Bluegrass Tax Liberation Day is designed to be an educational festival to teach citizens about the founding ideas of America and liberty with a focus on protesting the stimulus plan, tax increases and an ever expanding government. We plan to bring together groups and people who would like to learn more about how they can help stop excessive government spending and taxation. The educational festival will have informational tables set up to learn more about the organizations in Kentucky who advocate for liberty, limited government, individual responsibility, private property rights, and free trade and will include games (like guess the weight of the printed federal register and tax code among others), face painting and music. We also plan to utilize The Pod, the tennis ball canon from Newton's Attic.
Presenters will speak between 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM in the following order with event MC Jim Waters of the Bluegrass Institute: Kathy Gornik of the Bluegrass Institute and THIEL Audio (11:00), Mr. Kelly Cobb of Americans for Tax Reform (11:05), Brother Joe Adams, Chaplain for the Kentucky State Legislature (11:35), Leland Conway of The Pulse 630 AM WLAP (12:00), Bob Wigham of the Americans for Fair Taxation/FairTax (12:30), Gaitwood Galbraith (1:00), Paul Ransdall (1:30), closing comments, Jim Waters (2:00)
