The rightwing misinformation campaign is alive and well, John.
Americans for Prosperity, the pro-corporate group founded by the Koch Brothers, have launched a massive campaign attacking House Democrats for supporting President Biden’s infrastructure plan. To make matters worse, they’re falsely claiming the plan will hurt farmers, workers and small businesses.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The infrastructure plan will put folks to work rebuilding crumbling roads, bridges, waterways, ports and removing lead pipes in water systems. The bill also makes enormous investments in rural broadband so every American can finally have access to high speed internet no matter their zip code.
This is what we’re up against, John. We have to fight back and get our message out to rural communities. Otherwise rural voters will continue to vote against their best interests.
Every single Republican in Congress voted against the American Rescue Plan, arguably one of the strongest investments we’ve seen for rural families since the New Deal. Americans for Prosperity also ran a campaign to try and stop the American Rescue Plan from passing. They are NOT on the side of working people.
We are building out our campaign infrastructure and will soon be in touch with ways YOU can get involved to battle misinformation in your community. The 2022 election is not that far away. We must organize early and get our message out to these communities before the misinformation takes hold.
