The group, with two million members, will kick off the tour in Florida, which will feature three 40-foot buses touring 380 cities in 25 states, aims to bring attention to Obama’s “big government agenda.” The buses will be on display at the Republican National Convention ahead of its official launch on Aug. 31. The tour is being called “Obama’s Failing Agenda.”

“We're launching our biggest tour yet because President Obama’s big-government agenda has brought four consecutive trillion dollar deficits, sent the national debt skyrocketing, and left nearly 13 million Americans unemployed.” Tim Phillips, President of Americans for Prosperity, said in a press release. “It’s time for an agenda that will lead all Americans to prosperity; this failing agenda must come to an end.”

Elected officials, national personalities, and “other champions of free-market enterprise who will educate citizens on President Obama’s failing agenda” will be part of the tour, which aims to “rally the grassroots to put pressure on politicians who support destructive big-government policies,” according to its press release.
