"“Conservatism is . . . a promise, a calling, a duty to preserve what is good and cultivate what is enduring. If we hold fast to this charge, we will not only secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves, we will pass down to future generations an America that is strong, free, and truly worthy of its founding ideals.”" - Vice President Mike Pence and Ed Feulner in National Affairs Greetings from all of us at Advancing American Freedom. It’s been another busy week in Washington as AAF connects directly with policymakers in order to enact real change for the conservative movement. Thanks to your support this week, we had the privilege of hosting an exclusive webinar conversation with one of the Senators championing the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon, and the U.S. strike sent that message loud and clear. America, Israel, and the free world are safer because of his actions. Watch AAF Founder Mike Pence discuss via FOX News: America must stand with Israel, end Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and uproot the networks spreading hate on our college campuses.

Read their close up on how antisemitism on college campuses is the product of decades of Iranian-backed propaganda. Life Is Winning in AmericaThree years ago this week, the Supreme Court returned the power to decide abortion policy to the American people.

On the day of the brief’s release AAF Founder Mike Pence said:
AAF will never stop fighting to defend life at every stage. Our mission isn’t over—we must defund Planned Parenthood, protect the unborn, and build a nation that cherishes every human life.

No More Extensions: TikTok Must Be Sold or BannedTikTok is not just another social media app. It is the most sophisticated psychological warfare platform ever deployed against a free society. Congress did its job by passing bipartisan legislation requiring TikTok to divest from Chinese Communist Party control or be banned in the United States. The Supreme Court upheld the law. Now, the time for delays has passed. Watch AAF Chairman Marc Short explain why TikTok must be sold or banned in accordance with the law: More AAF Highlights
