The conservative group Americans for Prosperity is launching a $6 million campaign to support messaging in support of the megabill, including digital and TV ad buys, touting some of the bill’s popular provisions.<\/p>\n

AFP\u2019s plans, shared first with Blue Light News, includes a new 30-second spot<\/a> that touts \u201cgrowing our economy\u201d and \u201ckeeping our country safe,\u201d as well as events with lawmakers across the country over August recess, the group said.<\/p>\n

Putting money behind the effort to defend the megabill, already a top target of Democrats<\/a> ahead of the midterms, will help \u201cmake sure this good policy is also good politically for the lawmakers who supported it,\u201d AFP Managing Director Kent Strang said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The August recess will be key for Republican members as they go back to their districts to sell the bill. A recent memo from the National Republican Congressional Committee<\/a> provided members with talking points on the bill, telling them \u201cthe best defense is a good offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re already seeing some opponents spread misinformation for their own political gain,\u201d Strang said. \u201cThat’s why it’s so important to go keep our foot on the gas to highlight the bill\u2019s success.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
