As Congress works to pass the upcoming budget reconciliation package, our priorities are clear: protect life, stop fraud, secure our elections, and pass pro-growth tax reforms. AAF continues to equip our elected representatives and their staff with principled policy proposals that benefit everyday Americans.

It’s time that policymakers establish a system that scrutinizes government spending as closely as the IRS scrutinizes your tax filings.
