Wausau, Wis.(WFRV)--In an effort to convince potential voters that the president's policies have failed them, Americans for Prosperity offered cheap gas today in Rib Mountain, near Wausau.
    Hundreds of people lined up their vehicles to try and fill up at just $1.84 a gallon, the national average price of a gallon of gas when President Barack Obama took office. 
    Americans for Prosperity paid the $1.70 per gallon difference.
    Wisconsin State Director for Americans for Prosperity, Luke Hilgemann, "People are obviously struggling under these policies and under these economic times, people are looking for work trying to find some relief and we're giving it to them today here at the pump."    
    Everyone was asked to sign an AFP petition, which highlights what it calls Obama's failing agenda,but they did not have to sign to get the discount.
