FAITH AND WORLD VISION

Dear Portia,

Today, we celebrate President Ronald Wilson Reagan's 101st birthday.  At AFP we're honoring President Reagan with a very special "Happy Birthday" message with a twist -- and putting it on national TV. Our ad compares two contrasting visions of America: the Gipper's belief in economic freedom and optimism, and President Obama's big government philosophy and class warfare rhetoric.

Click here to see the ad now!

President Reagan launched his effort to return America to greatness with simple but profound words during his first inaugural speech on January 20, 1981: "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem." From there he put words into action passing historic tax cuts and cutting back on onerous government regulations. As a result of President Reagan's free market policies, our nation enjoyed the second longest peacetime economic expansion in history with 21 million new American jobs, exploding personal incomes, broad-based prosperity and renewed optimism for our nation.

Consider President Obama's very different approach: higher taxes, reckless government spending, and job-killing regulations and red tape -- all in pursuit of a liberal ideology. The results are exactly what you'd expect: anemic economic growth, massive new debt, high unemployment, and a reduced workforce.

Happy Birthday, President Reagan. We miss your optimism, your love of America, and your belief in the power of freedom. If you miss the Gipper's free market policies, take action now and let President Obama know that we will not stand for his Administration's pessimism, big government policies, and class warfare rhetoric anymore!

Dear Portia,

Do you remember the Stimulus? How about ObamaCare or the Solyndra "green jobs" scam?

If you do, you have a better memory than President Barack Obama. Because he barely mentions any of those these days.

As President Obama gears up for a rough 2012, he's going to try to take the focus off his failed policy record—and he's going to start attacking good, hardworking American conservatives like you and me as a distraction.

In fact, he's already started. Just two weeks ago, the Obama campaign launched its first TV ad of 2012.

And, instead of defending President Obama's record, they spent the entire thirty seconds directly attacking Americans for Prosperity—and attacking our 1.9 million conservative grassroots activists.

Portia, you should be flattered—that even President Obama is scared of what average Americans like you and me can do when we come together, and fight for economic freedom.

But we can't keep up this fight through 2012—and we can't continue to be Obama's self-described "biggest problem"—without your critical support today.

If you didn't get a chance to give last week, please make sure to click here to make a donation of $25, $50, $100 or more to AFP right now.

Portia, you know no one gets results like AFP—and I hope you're proud of all the victories you've helped us accomplish over the last three years.

And now, AFP has hit the ground running with a new 2012 Field Program that will reach more Americans than ever before in AFP history—and expose the failed liberal policies that President Obama so desperately wants us to forget and place real grassroots pressure to reverse these policies.

Over the next year, AFP's Field Program will take action in 16 critical states, 204 counties, and will rally not just our 1.9 million conservative activists nationwide—but help attract millions of like-minded Americans who aren't yet involved in our fight.

With 80 staff members, based right in your own neighborhoods and communities, we will lead the charge with:

• Rallies and events,
  
• Block walking,
  
• Door knocking,
  
• Phone banking,
  
• And paid media and earned media on TV, radio, print, and the internet.

Portia, even President Obama knows that AFP will have a critical impact on 2012 policy fights—but we can't make the maximum impact now without your help.

Please click here to make a donation of $25, $50, $100 or more to AFP—and help us keep up momentum in 2012.

Thank you very much for everything you've done— and I know that, with your help, we will bring freedom and prosperity back to America.

Sincerely,

Tim Phillips, President
Americans for Prosperity
