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.
When Ogles checked with Rachel Cross, an AFP field director assigned to Knoxville, on where some 20 volunteers would be today, he reported back, "Whatever suburbs are in Eddie Smith's district."
