Who Will Stand for Conservative Values?

Good afternoon,

The longstanding conservative principles of limited government, free enterprise, and individual liberty are under attack. With your support, AAF is advancing the cause of freedom and standing for the conservative values you believe in.

Our founder, Vice President Mike Pence, continues to stand for principled conservative policies, applauding the current administration when it upholds them, and speaking out when it doesn’t. See the Vice President’s most recent piece in the Wall Street Journal encouraging the Trump administration to demand the best outcome in Iran for American freedom and security.

Our AAF scholars are on Capitol Hill speaking to Congress about the issues that affect Americans most. This week we sent our own Rachel Greszler to testify before House Oversight’s DOGE Subcommittee to sound the alarm on government fraud and demand that states take accountability.

Promoting Principled Policy

Victory Over Iran Is Still Possible (Wall Street Journal) — VP Mike Pence

• America and Israel have Iran on the defensive. Rather than settle for promises and partial measures, the United States should demand verifiable dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program and terrorist infrastructure—or be prepared to finish the job militarily.

“Policy Over Personality” (Faithful Politics Podcast) — Tim Chapman

• I joined Faithful Politics to talk about the future of conservatism, the Republican Party, and what happens when personality starts replacing principle.

Terrifying Words: I’m from the Government, and I’m Here to Help Your Family (Washington Examiner) — Preston Brashers

• The decline of the American family cannot be solved with government checks. Proposals for baby bonuses and expanded family subsidies could deepen dependency while failing to address the root causes of family breakdown.
