AMAC Action Highlights Record Accomplishments In 2023
AMAC Action has published its annual Advocacy Report for 2023 highlighting an incredible year of growth and policy wins at the local, state, and federal level. Our “AMAC Action Army” expanded to more than 360,000 advocates across all 50 states last year and these Advocates made their voices heard and drove positive change in their communities and at the ballot box, helping deliver crucial conservative victories.
- 92 call-to-action campaigns
- Nearly 750,000 messages sent to members of Congress
- Helped pass 17 bills in the U.S. House of Representatives—including legislation to strengthen border security, protect girls’ sports, and lower healthcare costs
- Our Advocates helped deliver legislative victories in 9 states, including multiple laws to strengthen election integrity
- 14 new statewide AMAC Action chapters
- More than 4,000 delegates attended in-person chapter meetings
None of AMAC Action’s work would be possible without our incredible volunteers. As we like to say, “The credit goes to our members, the glory goes to God.”

Legislation and Policy Support
- 113 – Prescription Pricing for the People Act
This important legislation instructs the FTC to investigate the conduct practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) more thoroughly. Pharmacy benefit managers were created to manage drug benefits for insurance plans and lower consumer costs, but over the years, these middlemen have expanded beyond their original purpose. Now, PBM anti-competitive business practices increase the list cost of drugs, including reducing market competition for drugs, using spread pricing to increase profits without lowering costs, using claw-backs to hurt independent pharmacies, and shifting patients to costlier drugs.

AMAC Joins Coalition To Strengthen Private Property Rights
The Restoring America’s Leadership in Innovation Act would strengthen private property rights in one’s inventions and discoveries. The bill would broadly reverse the antipatent onslaught of recent years. RALIA would counter the ongoing assault by courts, Congress, the Administrative State, and patent-infringer special interests.

Advocate Spotlight
AMAC Action volunteer delegates hold meetings in their congressional district with AMAC members and with elected officials. They act as a resource for the local office on behalf of AMAC and lobby their respective congressional districts to advocate for AMAC Action’s legislative priorities. Their relationship with staffers and members of Congress are crucial in making a difference in the decision-making process.
Delegates may also lead and/or form local chapters where they plan in-person events for members of their community. They engage and network with local conservative and community organizations to educate those groups on key legislation and policy supported by AMAC Action.
This month we’re highlighting two of our outstanding delegates:
Liz Veeder (CO-07)
Liz has led the charge to keep AMAC members in her district active, engaged, and knowledgeable of current events. She holds regular chapter meetings and the topic of the last one was Colorado’s Election Caucus. Liz had a local expert from the Independence Institute’s Local Government Project come in to give AMAC members the nitty gritty details of the process in order to be better informed citizens.
Sean Tanner (TX-24)
Sean Tanner is actively at work in Texas to provide interesting content and help his local community be well-informed and involved. Topics at Sean’s chapter meetings have included national topics like election integrity and immigration to local happenings in TX-24 with regular meetings and the popular “Coffee with Ed” series on Saturday afternoons at a local coffeeshop. Sean has organized a leadership team to assist in the district and has arranged candidate forums for local school board candidates and precinct chairs, helping AMAC members make an informed choice.
Calls-to-Action
West Virginia Campaign – (Retired) Tell your state senator to support H.B. 5279 and H.B. 4313, which aim to protect the well-being and future of West Virginia youth and uphold parental rights. This critical legislation seeks to prohibit the administration of hormone blockers for transition purposes to individuals under the age of 18 in West Virginia. (Campaign is retired)
US Congress – (Active) Stop Non-Citizens from Voting in America’s Elections! The Biden Administration has allowed millions of people to enter the United States illegally and given them a pathway to vote in our elections. This orchestrated effort by the Biden Administration to corrupt our elections and install Democrats as a uniparty must be stopped. Please contact your Congressman or woman today and compel them to stop non-citizens from voting in America’s elections.
Maine Campaign – (Active) Uphold the integrity of our state’s electoral system and ensure that the voices of Maine’s voters continue to be heard and respected in national elections. Tell the Maine legislature to oppose national popular vote legislation (ME LD 1578).
Chapter Meetings
March 11 Chapter Meeting: WI-05 Delegate Scott Kosteretz hosted the chapter meeting and members discussed AMAC Action in the news, heard a legislative update, and watched the documentary “What the World Would Lose If the US Constitution Was Erased.”

Quote of the Week
“Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.”
– Ron Paul

Hi
This is the 3rd Saturday in a row I have not received the news letter via email. I have called about it, but to no resolve. What’s going on. I’ve received it for years, then all of a sudden it stopped on March 2nd.
