(Arlington, VA) – Today, The LIBRE Initiative, an organization committed to empowering the Hispanic community, issued a statement following reports that U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia is opposing Build Back Better legislation in its current form.
Sen. Manchin’s support for the bill was critical for passage. Daniel Garza, president of The LIBRE Initiative, issued the following statement:
Garza went on to add:
Background The LIBRE Initiative is a national organization committed to empowering the Latino community by removing barriers so that they can find personal fulfillment and live out their version of the American Dream. The LIBRE Initiative is opposed to massive tax hikes because research shows that tax hikes will make it more difficult for small businesses to grow and expand. Additionally, economists warn that massive tax hikes will result in stagnant wages for many American workers. Earlier this year, The LIBRE Initiative launched a campaign focusing on 22 U.S. Representatives and 3 Senators featuring two thirty-second spots running on online and connected TV platforms highlighting the risks to inflation and the harmful effects of a government takeover of the economy. The efforts also included targeted radio ads, several waves of direct mail, and layered digital ads to supplement the work of LIBRE and LIBRE’s sister organization, Americans for Prosperity’s grassroots activists.
