Americans for Prosperity, a national organization with a Tennessee presence that opposes a gas tax increase, supports a reduction in the Hall tax and seeks paycheck protection laws, will have volunteers knocking on doors today in Knoxville's state House 13th District represented by Republican Rep. Eddie Smith.
