AAF Praises Senate Efforts to Advance Trump Tax Cuts

WASHINGTON – Advancing American Freedom President Tim Chapman made the following statement after the Senate Finance Committee released new text for the One Big Beautiful Bill –

“The Senate has built on the House’s strong start to renew the Trump tax cuts. Now Congress must continue to refine this package and send it to President Trump’s desk. Otherwise, American families will see a devastating $2,000 increase on their taxes next year. Let’s get this done and prevent the largest tax hike in American history.”

In a letter last week, Chapman called on Republican Senators to swiftly pass the One, Big, Beautiful Bill and urged improvements to the bill by lowering the corporate tax rate; eliminating the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction entirely; instituting full, immediate, and permanent expensing; ending all Green New Deal subsidies; and stripping the debt limit language out of the bill. The current Senate version of the bill reflects encouraging progress on many of these provisions, despite exacerbating AAF’s concerns about the debt limit and Green New Deal subsidies.

In May, Advancing American Freedom launched a slate of ads urging Congress to pass President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill as part of its $10 million nationwide grassroots campaign to renew the Trump tax cuts. AAF’s ad campaign warns that if Congress fails to send the package to the president’s desk this year, American households will suffer a $2,100 tax increase on average.

AAF Leads Amicus Coalition Defending the Rights of Parents and Children Against Gender Indoctrination 

Advancing American Freedom led a coalition of 54 other amici in Vitsaxaki v. Skaneateles Central School District, fighting for parental rights and to protect children from indoctrination at school by gender ideologues. In this case, school officials sought to facilitate the social transition of Jennifer Vitsaxaki’s then seventh-grade daughter, referring to her by a new name and incorrect pronouns. When Mrs. Vitsaxaki noticed that her daughter’s grades were declining and that she was distracted from her studies, Mrs. Vitsaxaki expressed her concerns to school officials who “dismissed” them, telling her that all was well with her daughter and that nothing unusual was happening at school. Even after Mrs. Vitsaxaki ultimately learned about the secret transitioning campaign and switched her daughter to virtual schooling for the rest of the year, school officials continued to speak with her daughter about gender issues.

 

“Parents should not have to worry that school officials are psychologically manipulating their children or hiding important developments from them, but, unfortunately, these cases are arising around the country” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “The school in this case violated Mrs. Vitsaxaki’s fundamental, constitutionally recognized right to direct the upbringing of her daughter. This Court should rule for Mrs. Vitsaxaki and ensure that the rights of parents in the Second Circuit are secure.”
