The conservative anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity is targeting 40 House Republicans who they believe could agree to a supercommittee deal that raises taxes.

All forty lawmakers have suggested a willingness to support tax hikes as part of a compromise by the supercommittee. The lawmakers include presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.).

Republican lawmakers on the supercommittee have put down a proposal that would raise at least $250 billion in new net tax revenues. Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), the supercommittee chairman, said Wednesday he could go further if Democrats offered more on entitlement spending cuts.

Republicans are seen as divided on the issue of whether to include new tax revenues. If the supercommittee fails to get a deal, it would trigger cuts to national security spending that could hit the Pentagon hard.

Americans for Prosperity is e! ncouraging voters in Florida and Virginia to voice their opposition to additional tax increases through telephone town hall meetings on Wednesday. The group has also bought radio ads in a number of states targeting the legislators.
