Americans for Prosperity-Illinois (AFP-IL) took to the airwaves today with a TV ad that urges Illinoisans to sign the “Say No to ACORN” online petition and stand up against ‘pay to play’ politics asking Governor Quinn to say no to ACORN’s involvement in Illinois politics and their affiliates like the Service Employee International Union (SEIU).

Americans for Prosperity – Illinois is proud to announce a new working relationship with one of the most respected Illinois-based think tanks in the state, the Institute for Truth in Accounting (IFTA).

Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity Foundation, made the following statement in response to criticisms of speakers at AFP Foundation’s recent Defending the American Dream Summit.

We support bringing events like the Olympics to the United States assuming the events result in economic growth and do not further burden American taxpayers."

Dear Friends,

We had a tremendous crowd of more than 2,100 activists at our AFP Foundation’s 3rd annual Defending the American Dream™ Summit this weekend, and I wanted to share just a few snapshots with you.

The best part of my role at Americans for Prosperity Foundation is meeting folks like you.
