AAF Encourages Technological Innovation Through Deregulation

“Overregulation acts as a handcuff on individual liberty and creativity, restricting personal independence and ingenuity rather than allowing it to flourish.” (AAFF Independence Index)

Cumbersome track-inspections drive up costs for some railroads while others have been granted relief from strict, visual track inspection minimums; allowing technological improvements across the board will increase efficiency and greatly improve public safety. Prosperity and public safety must not be inhibited by overregulation stuck in the past.

AAF Fights Unconstitutional Tariffs in Federal Circuit

Advancing American Freedom led an amicus brief with 8 other amici in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump, defending the constitutional separation of powers. The first of Congress’s enumerated powers is the power to impose taxes, both on international trade and domestic affairs. From before the founding, the power to raise revenue has been understood as a core legislative power and is therefore not delegable to any other entity. Congress along has the power to impose taxes. The U.S. Court of International Trade was correct to strike down the President’s unilateral tariffs and we urge the Federal Circuit to affirm that ruling.

“The proper function of the American system of government depends on the separation of powers, as conservatives have understood since the founding,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “The Federal Circuit should affirm the lower court’s decision and should find that Congress did not and cannot transfer the power to tax to the executive branch.”

AAF Fights for Parental Rights in New Jersey

Advancing American Freedom led a coalition of 38 other amici in Christin Heaps v. Delaware Valley Regional High School Board of Education et al., supporting a father’s right to raise his daughter according to his values. In this case, school officials facilitated the social transition of Mr. Heaps’ daughter referring to her by a masculine name and with masculine pronouns, all without his consent. Schools have no authority make themselves final decision makers for children. When they do, they violate the right of parents like Mr. Heaps to raise their children consistent with their own values.

“No parent should have to find out that school officials have been making important decisions for their children without their knowledge,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “Sadly, this is just one of many such cases in recent years. The Third Circuit must uphold Mr. Heaps’ right to raise his daughter according to reality and not passing fads.”

LANDMARK VICTORY: AAF Commends Trump, Republicans for Stopping Largest Tax Hike in American History

AAF’s $10 Million Year-Long Nationwide Campaign Urged Congress to Renew Trump Tax Cuts

WASHINGTON – Advancing American Freedom President Tim Chapman praised today’s signing of the One Big Beautiful Bill averting a massive unwanted tax hike on millions of Americans:

“Republicans have scored a landmark victory that will renew the historic Trump-Pence tax cuts and stop the largest tax hike in American history. Today’s bill signing means that the average American family won’t be paying an extra $2,100 in taxes next year. This is a resounding affirmation of the conservative economic principles that have fueled American prosperity for decades and Americans should thank their Members of Congress for getting this bill across the finish line.

“This bill delivers hard-fought conservative wins. It makes the first significant entitlement reform in more than three decades, dramatically reshapes Medicaid, and pauses taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. These are encouraging steps for conservative principles and Congress cannot stop here. We urge Republicans to redouble their efforts to rein in continued runaway spending, fully end Biden’s Green New Deal, and address our national debt crisis. We look forward to seeing this bill implemented along with further action from Congress to deliver on the promise of a limited government and a strong America.” 

For the past year, Advancing American Freedom has activated a $10 million nationwide grassroots campaign urging Congress to renew the historic Trump-Pence tax cuts and stop the largest tax hike in American history. AAF’s campaign has featured grassroots events across the country with AAF Founder Vice President Mike Pence, a slate of tax policy briefings for Capitol Hill staff, targeted ad campaigns in key districts, and the website ExtendTheTaxCuts.com to serve as a one-stop shop for Members of Congress and their staff to get the bill across the finish line. AAF’s campaign also featured hundreds of media appearances, opinion piecesletters to Congressfast factstalking pointsmemos, and an in-depth report urging Congress to take action.

AAF will continue to defend the historic accomplishments of the Trump-Pence tax cuts and use ExtendTheTaxCuts.com as a resource for Members to defend the bill on the campaign trail now that it has been signed into law.

WASHINGTON—Advancing American Freedom President Tim Chapman made the following statement on the Senate’s passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act:

“The Senate has voted to prevent the largest tax hike in American history and American families are one step closer to tax relief today. The Senate vote is a major step toward putting conservative policies on President Trump’s desk, including stopping an unwanted tax increase on millions of Americans, investing in our border security, prioritizing national defense, reforming entitlement spending, and defunding abortion. It’s time for the House to take up the bill, improve it where possible, and get this win across the finish line.”

Earlier this week, Advancing American Freedom launched ExtendTheTaxCuts.com to serve as a one-stop shop for lawmakers and staff to get President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill across the finish line.

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.
