American Future Fund today released a national cable ad and website entitled “The Real State of the Union” taking on President Barack Obama’s empty promises. The ad buy, totaling $150,000, will air on CNN, CNBC and online leading into President Obama’s State of the Union address tomorrow evening.

The ad outlines the many broken promises the President has made in his State of the Union speeches over the past 3 years.

• In 2009, Obama declared the stimulus plan would save or create 3.5 million jobs. The reality? America has lost 1.7 million jobs.

• In 2009, Obama claimed we would double the nations supply of renewable energy in next 3 years. The reality? Since 2009 our renewable energy consumption has increased only 6%.

• In 2010, Obama sang the praises of clean energy investments and the new jobs it would create. The reality? Solyndra went bankrupt, costing taxpayers $535 million and losing 1,100 jobs.

• In 2010, Obama warned that America must not sit on the sidelines when it comes to making trade deals or we would lose jobs. The reality? He waited nearly 3 years before signing any trade deals.

• In 2009, Obama pledged to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. The reality? The 2012 budget deficit is still over $1 trillion.

• Last year, Obama promised to renew people’s faith in the institution of government. The reality? Eight in 10 Americans are still dissatisfied with Washington.

“It’s like a fairy tale the President is reading to the American people year after year,” said AFF Founder Nick Ryan. “Only this story doesn’t have a happy ending. President Obama’s promises are completely unbelievable and insulting to the American people.”

Take charge of your future. Tell Obama the time for talk is over. It’s time to walk the walk.

Nelson Retiring From Senate

US Senator Nelson responds to disapproval by announcing retirement

Nebraska’s Ben Nelson says it’s “time to move on” and American Future Fund couldn’t agree more.

Nelson announced yesterday he will not seek re-election to the US Senate. He has been working in lock step with the Obama agenda – voting for the stimulus plan and ObamaCare – two failing policies fraught with outrageous spending, regulation and taxes, crippling our economy.

American Future Fund, committed to restoring fiscal sanity to Washington, has long been exposing Nelson’s true liberal record to Nebraskans. They have responded, making it clear to Senator Nelson they were unhappy with his positions and his reelection would be a difficult one.

“Nelson’s retirement is a good thing for Nebraska and America. Further, it is a sign that Americans are becoming better informed about their representatives and demanding better results.” stated Nick Ryan, AFF Founder. ”We agree with Nelson. It is time to move on – to a new Congress that will work together toward a common goal of getting America’s economy back on track.”

Ohioans Overwhelmingly Reject ObamaCare

The top vote getter in Ohio last night was the voters rejection of ObamaCare. Ohioans sent a clear message to Obama and liberal democrats in Washington that they do not want nor support government run healthcare.

A plan that will cost billions in Medicare cuts, explode the deficit and rob Americans of individual choice when it comes to their health insurance decisions, ObamaCare has been wildly unpopular and was reaffirmed in last night’s vote.

“Ohio is a good indicator of the nation’s political mood so it was no surprise that they rejected Obama’s costly and job-killing healthcare plan,” stated AFF Founder Nick Ryan. “We are encouraged that Washington continues to get the message Americans want real healthcare reform.”

AFF Launches Radio Ad “Truth” in Arizona

AFF Launches Radio Ad “Truth” in Arizona

American Future Fund applauds Congressman Gosar’s efforts to uncover the truth.

Today American Future Fund announced the release of a new radio ad titled “Truth” to air in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District. The ad applauds Congressman Paul Gosar’s efforts to uncover the real story about Operation Fast & Furious.

The results of this reckless operation were uncovered in June when Congressional members learned that, under orders from the Obama Administration, ATF agents released more than 2,000 high-powered firearms into the hands of Mexico’s drug cartels. 1,700 of those weapons remain unaccounted for.

“Congressman Gosar is showing real leadership by demanding answers from Attorney General Eric Holder and others in the Obama Administration who are trying to hide the truth,” stated AFF Founder Nick Ryan. ”This is one of the most reckless abuses of power in memory and AFF commends Gosar for standing up for Arizonans and all Americans. We are encouraging citizens to call the Congressman to thank him for seeking the truth.”

Listen to the ad here.

“TRUTH”

ANNOUNCER:

Congressman Paul Gosar is fighting to uncover the truth about Operation Fast & Furious, one of the most reckless abuses of power in memory.

Directed by the Obama administration, ATF agents—charged with protecting Americans—released more than 2000 high-powered firearms into the hands of criminals.

The weapons ended up with violent Mexican gangs. Two of these guns were used in the 2010 murder of a U.S. border patrol agent.

1,700 remain unaccounted for.

Paul Gosar is demanding answers from Attorney General Eric Holder and others in the Obama administration who authorized this operation…but are trying to hide the truth.

Gosar is standing up for Arizonans. We deserve to know law enforcement agencies are protecting us—not using our tax dollars to put innocent lives at risk.

Call Congressman Gosar: 928-214-6055. Thank him for seeking the truth about Fast and Furious and standing up for Arizona.

Where’s the Leadership?

Obama is still making speeches. And now he wants to raise taxes too.

Instead of showing real leadership and making the responsible choice to cut wasteful government spending, Obama gave another speech today to propose increasing taxes. It’s the classic liberal solution – to solve any problem, we must tax and spend more. President Obama’s failed stimulus plans, massive spending policies and ObamaCare have raised the deficit higher than ever. Now he wants to increase taxes – to fix the problem he created.

Even he knows it’s wrong. Obama himself rejected tax hikes in August of 2009 saying it was bad economics in a recession.

American Future Fund rejects Obama’s policy of more taxes. AFF Founder, Nick Ryan, stated, “We need jobs and meaningful deficit reduction only achievable through real reform and spending cuts. Increasing taxes on Americans during this tough financial time is just wrong. We call on Congress to reject these liberal policies and bring fiscal sanity to Washington.”

AFF Congratulates Turner & Amodei

Mandy — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:56:27 +0000

American Future Fund congratulates the two newest Republican members of Congress – Bob Turner in New York’s 9th District and Mark Amodei in Nevada’s 2nd District. These two new members continue the American people’s referendum on Obama’s liberal policies. In New York, voter disgust with the failing economy and lack of leadership was overwhelmingly apparent as no Republican has held that seat in over 80 years.

“With two additional conservative, pro-business minded members of Congress, we encourage them to quickly get to work to repeal Obamacare and fight against Obama’s tax raising policies to pay for more failed stimulus plans,” stated AFF Founder Nick Ryan. ”Americans want to see our economy flourish again and they want to work. We need real solutions and leadership to get us there.”

AFF Launches New Website – No More Speeches

Mandy — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 20:23:20 +0000

American Future Fund announces the launch of a new website www.NoMoreSpeeches.com. The site currently features a petition and two commercials of President Obama, in his own words, promising to focus on job creation.

The website points out the fact that since taking office, President Obama has given more than a thousand speeches. Over half a dozen times during those speeches, he has promised to “pivot to a focus on jobs or the economy.” All the while, unemployment has hovered around 9%, and now, it is above 9%.

The website urges visitors to sign the petition to tell President Obama we need more jobs, not more speeches.

AFF Launches New Ad Mocking Obama Jobs Plan

American Future Fund is launching a radio ad today entitled “Imagine”, a parody of Obama’s failed jobs plans.

The ad pokes fun at some of the ridiculous ideas the Obama administration might have for creating jobs or crafty ways they could report job growth for his political gain. Although the conversation in the ad is a spoof, the absurd policies and results are frighteningly real.

For two and a half years, Americans have struggled to find work in a failing economy. President Obama has been long on speeches but short on results. His empty promises and anti-job growth policies have crippled the private sector, produced zero job growth figures for August and continued high unemployment for the foreseeable future.

AFF Founder, Nick Ryan, stated, “What is not humorous about Obama’s failed policies is that millions of Americans are standing in the unemployment line. It’s time for real leadership and a real plan to put Americans back to work, Mr. President.”

FINAL AMERICAN FUTURE FUND RADIO:60 – ‘IMAGINE”

AFF-11-R-05

ANNOUNCER:
Imagine President Obama with his staff:

PRESIDENT OBAMA IMPERSONATOR:
All right folks, now, what am I going to say in my newest “jobs” speech?

Should I talk about the jobs I created with the stimulus?

STAFFER #1:
Mr. President, your stimulus spent $800 Billion and unemployment went up.

PRESIDENT OBAMA IMPERSONATOR:
So – uh – we can assume “hope and change” didn’t work? O.K. — Other ideas?

STAFFER #2:
What about spending hundreds of billions we don’t have to create jobs?

(Silence)

(Room suddenly bursts into laughter)

PRESIDENT OBAMA IMPERSONATOR:
That’s a good one. All right, settle down now. What about all the military jobs I created, when I “whacked” Osama bin Laden?

STAFFER #1 & STAFFER #3:
Mr. President, you didn’t actually lead that mission — and our special forces already had jobs.

PRESIDENT OBAMA IMPERSONATOR:
Minor detail. But in the campaign commercials, I will be in the chopper.

STAFFER #2:
How about the jobs you created on Martha’s Vineyard, while you were “working” on your jobs plan?

PRESIDENT OBAMA IMPERSONATOR:
No — Now folks — I’ve only got two options. First, send Biden out there. He’s gonna confuse everybody.

STAFFER #2:
What’s the other option?

PRESIDENT OBAMA IMPERSONATOR:
We need to take out bin Laden – again.

ANNOUNCER:
Tell the real President Obama, we need a real jobs plan.
