Pence group launches 'Freedom Agenda' to promote American prosperity, stop the 'radical left'
Pence is pushing a 'bold, optimistic' agenda for conservatives to rally around
Former Vice President Mike Pence's advocacy organization is releasing a "Freedom Agenda" for conservatives focused on promoting a positive and traditional view of America, and pushing back against progressive policies being pushed by the Biden administration.
Pence's 501(c)(4), Advancing American Freedom (AAF), published the agenda Thursday. The group calls the agenda "a vision for restoring freedom and a framework of ideas and solutions for how to achieve that vision."
"In 14 months Biden has done more damage than any other president in history," AAF founder Pence told Fox News Digital during a Wednesday phone call ahead of the announcement.
"The American way of life is under threat as never seen before," he continued, pointing to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, rising inflation and crime, amid other domestic issues that have erupted under the Biden administration. He added that it's "no surprise" Biden's approval rating is so low
Pence said that the conservative party must "rally around a bold, optimistic agenda" from the Reagan administration to the Trump administration, explaining that idea was the genesis for the Freedom Agenda.
The agenda is designed to be a "compelling vision" focused on the future for citizens, activists, and men and women across the country, according to the former vice president.
"Elections are about the future, and frankly the opposition would love nothing more for conservatives to talk about the past or to talk of the mess they’ve made of the present, but I think it's of equal importance we focus on where conservatives at every level, whether it’s the active citizen or whether it be people in public life, can carry the country," Pence told Fox News Digital "And I think by relentlessly focusing on the future we can stop the radical left, we can turn this country around, we can win the Congress and state houses back in 2022, and we can win back America in 2024 and beyond."
[ ] The agenda has three pillars: American opportunity and economic opportunity, American strength and leadership on the world stage, and American culture.
The pillars, which contain goals and how to achieve them, range from ensuring American energy dominance, to reducing taxes, to returning education to parents, to promoting individual liberties and to protecting life.
The agenda also details how the U.S. should ready its military force against the threats posed by Russia, Iran and China, and how the country must stand with Israel and fortify other key alliances.
The plan was designed to be "easily digestible" to everyday Americans, according to Pence aides, and it is available online.
The agenda was developed with over 50 Pence allies, including former Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt, senior counselor to President Trump Kellyanne Conway, former United States Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

The agenda comes after Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who serves as the chairman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), released an 11-step "Rescue America" plan in recent weeks. . .
The plan has been criticized by members of his own party, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, for not properly reflecting conservative values. . ."
Mike Pence Launches Advancing American Freedom
Former Vice President Mike Pence today launched Advancing American Freedom, a policy and advocacy organization established to promote the pro-freedom policies of the last four years that created unprecedented prosperity at home and restored respect for America abroad, to defend those policies from liberal attacks and media distortions, and to prevent the radical Left from enacting its policy agenda that would threaten America’s freedoms.
“Advancing American Freedom plans to build on the success of the last four years by promoting traditional Conservative values and promoting the successful policies of the Trump Administration,” said former Vice President Mike Pence. “Conservatives will not stand idly by as the radical Left and the new administration attempt to threaten America’s standing as the greatest Nation in the world with their destructive policies.”
“Under the leadership of President Trump and Vice President Pence, Americans experienced unprecedented prosperity. The policies that led to those accomplishments are now under attack by the radical Left and the Biden Administration, and the foundation of our Nation is under siege,” said Advancing American Freedom Executive Director Paul Teller. “Advancing American Freedom will push back against the Left’s agenda and champion policies across the country that advance American liberties, American strength and security, and American prosperity.”
Advancing American Freedom will be advised by political and policy leaders from the Trump Administration and the Conservative movement.
Members of the Advancing American Freedom Advisory Board include:
- David Bernhardt
- Kirk Cameron
- Kellyanne Conway
- Kelly Craft
- Ken Cribb
