Americans for Prosperity Action believes the civil liberties that serve as the foundation of our country — including freedoms of speech, conscience, and the right to peaceably assemble — make it possible for individuals and the groups they support to drive meaningful change.

Alaska Ballot Measure 2 works against that, making it harder for Alaskans to engage in the political process.

Measure 2 lacks clarity. If passed, the measure would significantly increase the legal and financial burden on Alaskans and the groups they support to advocate for the causes that matter to them. Clarity and simplicity in our laws is critical for Alaskans to see and trust the election process.

Measure 2 is troublingly vague. Individuals and small groups who don’t have the resources to decipher overly broad, vague laws will be kept out of the political process. Only the voices of the well-funded and well connected will be heard on election day. That’s why opposition to the initiative has attracted such a diverse mix of groups.

Our laws should be making it easier, not harder, for every Alaskan to have their voice heard in the political process. AFP Action encourages Alaskans to vote no on Ballot Measure 2 to ensure that every Alaskan can continue to have a voice in their elections.

LANSING, MI—Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) today announced its endorsement of John James for U.S. Senate. If elected, James will champion policies that improve the lives of all Michiganders and make the American dream more attainable.

In a memo to interested parties, AFP Action Senior Advisor Annie Patnaude issued the following:

Michigan voters want to see a path that leads to a brighter future. John James is the kind of principled leader who can show the way. Being a leader is about more than voting the right way on policy. It’s about listening to those who disagree with you, about understanding what it’s like to stand in another person’s shoes. It’s about serving as a voice for the voiceless. Standing up for what’s right, regardless of convenience or the partisan implications.
