| Hi John, There is no part of our lives that Bidenomics doesn’t touch. That includes our summer cookouts. AFP Managing Director Kent Strang recently hit on how inflation has impacted our grilling options. From 2020 to today... - A T-bone steak went from $6.59 to $7.38 per lb.
- Ground beef went from $3.89 to $5.24 per lb.
- Chicken breast went from $3.06 to $4.06 per lb.
For families living paycheck to paycheck, these price increases are making it harder to feed our families. How many families will cancel their cookouts this Father’s Day or July 4th because they cannot afford the celebration? | | | | |

| BIDENOMICS MAKES FATHERS WORK HARDER | | Our fathers worked hard to ensure we had the best in life. Bidenomics means today's fathers must work even harder to maintain the same standard of living. We asked on Twitter if people believe parenting costs have risen. Over 70% said Yes! | | | | |

| WE NEED TO HOLD BIDENOMICS LAWMAKERS ACCOUNTABLE | | How would you feel if your representatives voted for policies that increased inflation? The “Bidenomics Five” is a group of Joe Biden’s allies and influential Senators who voted for reckless government spending and corporate handouts leading to more inflation. In doing so, they are causing living costs to skyrocket for their constituents. One such Senator from Montana, Jon Tester, voted for all four Bidenomics bills. As a result, Montanans' housing costs have increased by $5,539, and their transportation costs have increased by $9,438 since January 2021. Read the rest of the blog post to learn how the Bidenomics Five are raising living costs for their constituents. | | | | | | |

| ICYMI: EMILY SEIDEL JOINS THE RUTHLESS PODCAST | | Emily joined the Ruthless podcast to discuss how AFP empowers people to become a voice in their local community. Recently, AFP has held numerous Gas Rollback Events to remind people that they only paid $2.38 per gallon the day before Biden took office. Emily shared how she attended one such event in Florida, where she met a man who owns a welding business. She recounted how he broke into tears over sharing how he could not give his employees a raise to keep up with cost-of-living increases. As Ruthless co-host John Ashbrook noted, AFP gives voice to people who feel they have none. Watch the rest of the episode to hear how AFP is telling stories of Americans who feel unheard. | | | | | | |

| VIRGINIA STANDS UP AGAINST BIDEN’s ELECTRIC VEHICLE MANDATE | | AFP applauded Virginia Governor Glen Youngkin’s principled stance to eliminate electric vehicle mandates to give Virginians more freedom in transportation. AFP-VA hosted events across the state to pressure lawmakers to restore consumer choice. Let’s use this as inspiration to encourage more governors and legislators to say no to Joe Biden’s radical anti-energy policies. Check out more details of AFP-VA’s involvement here. | | | | | | |

| TAKE ACTION: BIDEN’S EV AGENDA CONTINUES | | President Biden is still trying to tell you what kind of car you can own. His administration is slightly easing up on their plan to transition America to electric vehicles, but the ultimate goal remains the same. However, his administration still doesn’t get that it’s unacceptable to burden regular Americans with his EV agenda. The Biden administration claimed that EVs would save owners $600 in gas, but they ignored the reality. Most Americans cannot afford EVs. Email your legislators now to urge them to oppose Biden’s gas car ban. We must trust Americans to choose whatever car is best for their family. We also need to ensure they have affordable options in an era of Bidenflation! | | | | | | |
