Americans Aren’t Political Pawns!
In late 2010 the Obama Administration asked Solyndra to hold off announcing massive worker layoffs until after the November elections. Those 1,100 workers who had no idea that they would be fired. Today 90% of those workers remain unemployed. Taxpayer dollars should never be used to subsidize political ideology.Watch the video and sign the petition today!

- UPDATES AND COMMENTARY FROM AFP NATIONAL
North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue announced yesterday that she will not seek re-election this fall. Given that North Carolina is a swing state and host to the 2012 Democratic National Convention, Perdue’s retirement has policy implications beyond her personal future.
The announcement came just one week after her ill-timed proposal to raise $800 million in taxes and after a year of having her vetoes overrode by the state legislature. Residents in North Carolina have signaled that they favor economic freedom, low taxes, and limited government over heavy regulation and out-of-control spending.
“Governor Perdue has relentlessly pursued an agenda of higher taxes and bigger government,” says Americans for Prosperity – North Carolina State Director Dallas Woodhouse. “Her opposition to free-market reforms such as allowing temporary sales and income tax hikes to expire, medical malpractice reform, regulatory reform, and the energy jobs act, has simply made her unelectable."

Arlington, VA - Last night hundreds of activists gathered at a dozen different State of the Union Watch Parties around the country. Remarks from Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips and special guests such as Virginia Governor McDonnell were broadcast live online, and drew a stark contrast between the principles of economic freedom and the big-government policies President Obama would go on to defend.
Today hundreds of citizens attended AFP State of the Union watch parties all across America, gathering together to contrast the policies of economic freedom with the President's philosophy of big-government spending, cronyism, and the other issues President Obama tends to "conveniently forget" when he's giving speeches. We joined together to send the message that while our President may forget, we still remember that his policies have led to high unemployment and skyrocketing national debt. Some of our watch parties featured a live broadcast with special guests including our kickoff in Tampa, Florida, as well as a very special appearance by Virginia Governor McDonnell in Richmond!
