--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WHAT: FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey and President Matt Kibbe will hold a press conference at the Florida CPAC convention to formally launch FreedomWorks for America (FWFA) Super PAC. Rather than bundle millions of dollars into television ads, FWFA plans to directly support the door-to-door voter outreach that won back Congress in the 2010 midterm elections.
As a service center for limited-government activists across the country, FreedomWorks played a key role in the upset victories of Senator Mike Lee (UT), Marco Rubio (KY), Rand Paul (KY), and flipping the House of Representatives in 2010. FWFA plans to build on this momentum with a new interactive web platform that allows conservative activists to mobilize their grassroots efforts in key 2012 battles, including defeating Barack Obama, building a fiscal conservative majority in the Senate, and expanding the conservative majority in the House.
The website features candidate profile pages, official endorsements, interactive ranking systems for candidates on the issues, links to pledge time towards community organizing efforts, links to pledge money to a specific campaign, phone banking, grassroots training videos, and downloadable activist toolkits and door-to-door Get Out The Vote (GOTV) materials.
WHEN: Friday, September 23, 2011, beginning at 10am ET.
WHERE: The press conference will take place at the FreedomWorks for America booth at the CPAC Florida convention, located at the Orange County Convention Center (South Concourse), 9899 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819.
WHY: FreedomWorks for America aims to empower the leaderless, decentralized community of the tea party movement as it continues its hostile takeover of the GOP establishment. FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented, “The objective of FreedomWorks for America in 2012 is not about turning blue states red, but rather to turn every state a bright shade of Gadsden yellow.”
