America Stands with Israel (Freedom Focus)Supporting Israel, standing up against China, and fighting against tariffs. |
Greetings from all of us at Advancing American Freedom. It’s been almost five weeks since the government shut down — but we haven’t stopped pushing for conservative policies that keep our nation strong, prosperous, and free. Whether in the courts or on the Hill, AAF is there.
America Must Stand with Israel AAF Founder Vice President Mike Pence re-released a video on X today emphasizing the need to maintain unwavering support for Israel. Advancing American Freedom is dedicated to promoting policies that support and protect the well being of Israel - and combat antisemitism across the world.

Honoring AAF Board Member Art Pope Next week, the twelfth annual William F. Buckley Prize Dinner will take place in Palm Beach, Florida. There, AAF Board Member Art Pope is set to receive the William F. Buckley Jr. Prize for Leadership in Supporting Liberty thanks to his unwavering commitment to conservative principles that continue to shape our country.
A visionary philanthropist and dedicated champion of freedom, Art Pope has demonstrated exceptional leadership through his tireless advocacy and generous support of liberty-minded initiatives. His strategic investments in education, public policy, and civic engagement have strengthened the foundations of freedom across our nation.
I am excited to attend this prestigious event on behalf of AAF. If you plan on going, could you send us a note — and stop by to say hello?
Stop China's Fight to Control Our Agriculture Beijing’s long campaign to weaken America has taken a new and dangerous turn towards targeting our own food supply. From buying U.S. farmland to flooding our markets with Chinese-made fertilizer and pesticides, the Chinese Communist Party is working to make American farmers dependent on Beijing.
Food security is national security, and America must never allow our adversaries to control our most basic resources. Congress is beginning to fight back with measures like the FY 2026 Agricultural Appropriations Act, but more must be done. Protecting American agriculture from CCP influence is not just an economic issue — it’s a matter of freedom, sovereignty, and survival.

The Tariffs Aren't Working Nine months into President Trump’s trade war, America’s economy is feeling the strain. This week, AAF Senior Fellow Joel Griffith laid out in the Washington Times exactly how the broad-based tariffs are harming everyone involved in American production.
Job growth has slowed, manufacturing has been disrupted, and farmers are being crushed by rising input costs and collapsing exports. Families face rising prices and shrinking paychecks as tariffs drain $175 billion from the economy this year alone.
Foreign investment is fleeing, growth is stalling, and the dollar is losing its strength. This is not economic freedom or prosperity—it’s government interference distorting markets, punishing workers, and weakening America’s global competitiveness. Congress must restore common sense: end the tariffs, cut taxes, and unleash free enterprise once again.

The Senate Must Vote 'No' on Casey Means As we explained in a memo this week, President Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General, Casey Means, raises serious questions about judgment and qualifications for one of the nation’s most trusted health positions. Though educated at Stanford, Means is unlicensed, never completed a medical residency, and has built her platform around wellness fads, supplement sponsorships, and unscientific spiritual practices.
Her history of psychedelic drug use, talking to trees, and promotion of “indigenous wisdom” might fit within a celebrity wellness brand—but not the medical leadership Americans expect from their Surgeon General. The President and the Senate should take this nomination seriously and ensure that our top medical officer is someone grounded in evidence, professionalism, and public trust.
AAF Hosts Large Reception with State Financial Officers Thanks to your support, we were able to host members of the State Financial Officers Foundation for a reception with more than 75 state auditors and treasurers. This partnership is one of many that AAF is proud to carry out as part of its mission to promote economic freedom in the United States.
Next week, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the cases challenging many of President Trump’s tariffs, the outcome of which affect the course of politics and constitutional law for decades. Jeffrey Schwab, one of the attorneys representing V.O.S. Selections, Inc., economic historian Phillip Magness, and members of our Advancing American Freedom Foundation legal team will walk us through what happened at oral arguments and what this case means for the Constitution and economic liberty.
Will You Join 145,000+ Americans in Supporting AAF’s Work? Are you concerned about the future of our nation and defending the constitutional principles upon which it was founded? We invite you to join with more than 145,000 Americans who support the work of Advancing American Freedom. Your gift will make it possible for Vice President Pence and his colleagues to get your ideas in national media, on Capitol Hill, at events, and on campuses across our country. Thank you for your support!
With thanks,
Tim Chapman
President, Advancing American Freedom
