Bobby Jindal to Speak at AFP Event in Orlando

Late on Friday, the Americans for Prosperity (AFP) Foundation announced another potential Republican presidential candidate will be speaking at its Defending the American Dream Summit in Orlando at the end of August -- Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana.

In his role as chairman of the Republican Governors' Association and as the recently re-elected governor of Louisiana, Governor Jindal has emerged as one of the nations most influential voices in promoting the American dream to all Americans, Jillian Weleski, an event organizer for the AFP Foundation wrote in an email. Since being elected the first Indian-American governor in our nations history, Governor Jindal has stood up for economic freedom and opposed unnecessary government expansion. Recently, Governor Jindal refused to allow Obamacare Medicaid expansion in Louisiana while fighting to abolish the state income tax and has successfully cut taxes six times, returning over $1 billion to the citizens of his state. Theres no doubt Governor Jindal will be an important voice for the cause of freedom for many years to come.

Jindal joins two U.S. senators who could be running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 -- Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida.
