What Americans could be opposed to Prosperity?
However, AFP is designed to pass laws that enrich the Koch Brothers...
not Prosperity among Americans in general...

Muñoz created a 527 organization called the Conservative Hispanic Coalition. Muñoz hosts “America Eres Tu”, an hour long Spanish language radio show that is broadcast on Saturday afternoons. "On his radio show, Muñoz covers social issues and takes the time to explain conservative fiscal issues. Many Hispanics don’t know “we owe money to other countries,” Muñoz says, “they don’t understand we have a deficit, they don’t understand the magnitude of the debt, so I’m there trying to explain it in simple Spanish

A political attack ad released by American Sunrise PAC was extremely critical of his policies and depicted him in violent cartoon action against several individuals. West immediately issued a statement condemning the ad, stating that it "plays on stereotypes" with the goal of diverting Americans from more pressing matters at hand such as high unemployment. He claimed the ad was released by the family of his opponent.
The campaign manager of his opponent, Patrick Murphy, claimed the ad was from a third party and therefore held no liability for it.

Allen West is a nationally notable member of the Tea Party Caucus, and has been referred to as the "rock star", "champion", and "political avatar" of the Tea Party movement. His impassioned, and at various times controversial rhetoric, has been met with both approval from supporters and rebuke from critics.

"PAID FOR BY RESTORE OUR FUTURE, INC. NOT AUTHORIZED BY ANY CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE'S COMMITTEE"
THIS IS A TRICK TO AVOID CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION LIMITS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restore_Our_Future
Restore Our Future is a political action committee (PAC) created to support Mitt Romney in the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. A so-called Super PAC, Restore Our Future is permitted to raise and spend unlimited amounts of corporate, union, and individual campaign contributions under the terms of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
As of August 2011, the largest individual contributor to Restore Our Future was John Paulson, a billionaire and hedge fund manager who is, according to Politico, "famous for [having enriched] himself by betting on the collapse of the housing industry." An additional million dollars came from W Spann LLC, a dummy corporation with no record of actual business activities. W Spann LLC was incorporated, donated to the PAC, and then dissolved in a matter of months, attracting concern from election-watchdog groups and campaign-finance experts about the use of dummy corporations to shield large campaign contributions from public scrutiny.

Club for Growth — perhaps more than any other organization on the right — has aggressively supported conservative candidates against incumbent Republicans in an effort to push the GOP toward its pro-business, libertarian brand of conservatism. The group’s dissatisfaction with Romney has been well documented.
http://www.clubforgrowth.org/
The Club for Growth is a politically conservative 527 organization active in the United States of America, with an agenda focused on taxation and other economic issues, and with an affiliated political action committee (PAC). The Club advocates lower taxes, limited government, less government spending, free trade, and economic liberalism (libertarianism). Its PAC endorses and raises money for conservative candidates.
The Club was founded in 1999 by Stephen Moore. The current president is the former Indiana Congressman, Chris Chocola.
