Political activities[edit]
AMAC describes itself as "vigorously conservative" and gained support from talk show host Glenn Beck and other conservative figures.[6] AMAC strongly opposes the Affordable Care Act (ACA)[7][8] and has pushed for its repeal.[4] In March 2014, AMAC claimed a membership of 1.1 million members, up from 40,000 in 2008, which it attributed to backlash over the ACA.[4] In a letter in 2012, the group falsely claimed in a letter that "If you and I fail to defund ObamaCare now, some 16,000 new IRS agents will be begin prying into our private medical records, eyeing each and every one of our treatments and prescriptions for 'violations.'"[2] This debunked claim was rated "Pants on Fire" from the fact-checking publication PolitiFact.[2]
AMAC supports a plan for Social Security which would gradually increase the earliest retirement age to 64 (from 62) and "guarantee cost-of-living increases in a tiered structure based on income."[4] AMAC supports the oil and gas industry, claiming that they "are safer for the environment than ever." The group's president, Dan Weber, called for a rollback of Obama administration policies to promote clean energy.[9]
The AMAC has a volunteer "delegate" program, aiming to select a AMAC member in each congressional district across the country to meet and lobby members of Congress.[10]
In February 2017 AMAC issued a warning to the upcoming 2017 Academy Awards ceremony to not tolerate speeches against President Donald Trump, threatening to launch a boycott of theaters.[11]
Political analyst Josh Bernstein is currently a National Spokesperson for AMAC, whom sponsor his weekly political talk show. [12]
