Americans for Prosperity Launches Colorado Chapter

On June 24, the national free-market grassroots group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) launched its newest state chapter in Colorado. The organization stated that its first goal would be to educate and mobilize taxpayers in support of the removal of government-imposed barriers to energy development, an improvement that would help lower taxes for all citizens.

“From unnecessarily limiting the supply of energy, to proposed cap-and-trade carbon taxes and regulatory schemes, many state and federal government policies are threatening Coloradans’ quality of life,” said AFP President Tim Phillips. “Current and proposed energy policies amount to higher taxes, lost jobs and less freedom. The Colorado chapter of Americans for Prosperity is going to educate and mobilize taxpayers on this and other issues, and we’re going to make sure their voices are heard loud and clear in Denver, and in Washington.”
