Lehi • John Morris made it only a few seconds into a phone call on Wednesday before he was cut off.
“I’m not asking for money,” Morris said, attempting to keep the conversation going.
It was too late — the person on the other end had hung up, so Morris moved to the next number on his list.
The call was one of countless that Morris has made as a volunteer for the Utah chapter of Americans for Prosperity (AFP). On more successful attempts, he launches into a well-rehearsed 30-second pitch about two tax increase proposals on the November ballot, and why Utah voters should reject them both.
