A message from AFP President Tim Phillips:

Today hundreds of citizens attended AFP State of the Union watch parties all across America, gathering together to contrast the policies of economic freedom with the President's philosophy of big-government spending, cronyism, and the other issues President Obama tends to "conveniently forget" when he's giving speeches. We joined together to send the message that while our President may forget, we still remember that his policies have led to high unemployment and skyrocketing national debt. Some of our watch parties featured a live broadcast with special guests including our kickoff in Tampa, Florida, as well as a very special appearance by Virginia Governor McDonnell in Richmond!

Here are a few pictures from the watch parties tonight. Stay tuned – we’ll have more to come soon!
