2013 AFP- Arkansas Legislative Agenda

Teresa Oelke, interim Americans for Prosperity (AFP) VP of State Operations: Throughout the 2013 legislative session, expect Americans for Prosperity to have a presence under the dome in Little Rock. We will work on your behalf to support common-sense legislation that promotes jobs and opportunities, a lower tax burden, and efficient and effective government. We'll also let you know when it's important to contact your legislator, and we'll give you the tools to do so through our action alerts.

Our legislative agenda includes:

• Opposing President Obama's expansion of Medicaid. It is irresponsible to discuss expanding a program when you cannot meet your current funding obligations to those in the most need. Currently Arkansas has a $300 million Medicaid deficit that must be fixed.
• Lowering the tax burden on all Arkansans.
• Judicial reform.
• Improving the oversight of charter schools to help children trapped in failing schools.
• Stopping the "spend every penny we take in" approach of Arkansas state government.
• Opposing President Obama's health insurance exchanges.
• Increased transparency in government.
• Opposing government regulation overreach.
