Romney To Give ‘Major Spending Policy Speech’ At Koch-Funded Americans For Prosperity Summit Friday | In his latest attempt to garner support from Tea Party voters, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) will give a “major spending policy speech” Friday night at Americans For Prosperity’s Defending the American Dream Summit in Washington, DC, MSNBC reports. Romney will preview the speech at a campaign event on Thursday in New Hampshire before giving the keynote address at the summit’s Tribute to Ronald Reagan dinner the next evening. No details on the speech are available, but Romney catered to conservative voters during the debt ceiling debate by supporting the “cut, cap, and balance” approach to the federal budget. Fellow frontrunner Herman Cain (R), who has extensive ties to AFP’s original funders Charles and David Koch, will speak at the summit on Saturday.
