AFP to President Trump: “Thank You for Protecting Prosperity!”
WASHINGTON, DC—Today, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law. This landmark legislation promises generational change for Americans by crystallizing the pro-growth tax policy first championed by the President in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).
Americans for Prosperity (AFP), the nation’s largest grassroots organization, celebrated the bill signing as a win for taxpayers and job creators.
AFP Chief Government Affairs Officer Brent Gardner issued the following statement applauding the President and Congressional leadership:
“Today’s historic bill signing is a testament to the clear vision and unwavering leadership of President Trump. On behalf of hard-working taxpayers, job-creators, and our army of grassroots activists: ‘Thank you for protecting prosperity!’
“Leader Thune, Speaker Johnson, and countless members of congressional leadership and staff also deserve recognition for their tireless work to unleash the U.S. economy with permanent pro-growth tax policy.”
AFP President and CEO Emily Seidel added:
“With today’s bill signing, taxpayers can breathe a huge sigh of relief. I’m proud to send a big grassroots ‘thank you’ to President Trump and Congressional leadership for delivering on this monumental victory. It’s no small thing to prevent the largest tax hike in history from crushing working Americans.
“Getting this bill across the finish line showcased the true power of the grassroots, who—since January—kept up the pressure on their lawmakers to do the right thing. We can’t forget their herculean efforts. Together, we reached out to over a million voters. From making hundreds of thousands of phone calls to policymakers, to attending hundreds of grassroots events, and knocking on hundreds of thousands of doors, our activists made sure that lawmakers knew how important it is that we protect prosperity and turn the corner on the disastrous economic policies of the previous administration.
“But just because the bill is signed into law, doesn’t mean our work is done. AFP has already started connecting Americans to the generational growth this tax package promises to deliver, and we intend to invest significant resources to tell the story of its success. We also look forward to continuing to work with this Congress to keep the momentum going to build on today’s historic victory.”
Since January and the launch of the $20 million “Protect Prosperity” campaign, AFP has made permanent renewal of the TCJA its top priority. This effort will continue through the end of the year with additional grassroots outreach, advertising, and events to connect every American to the positive impact this legislation will have and remind voters of the strong leadership it took to get it done.
