13,000+ Messages by AMAC Members Urge US Senate to Pass “One Big, Beautiful Bill”
AMAC Action has received a robust response from its grassroots network after launching a nationwide campaign calling on U.S. Senators to pass President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” In less than 24 hours, more than 13,000 messages were sent by AMAC members to their Senators urging them to vote “yes” on the bill, underscoring renewed conservative energy and broad-based support for the legislation.
This overwhelming surge of support reflects AMAC members’ enthusiasm for a package that permanently extends the 2017 tax cuts and delivers major new tax relief—especially for working Americans, seniors, and small business owners.
Among the bill’s most significant provisions is a $4,000 tax deduction for seniors, a top-tier priority for AMAC, delivering concrete benefits to millions of retirees The legislation also eliminates federal income tax on tips and overtime pay, fulfilling key campaign promises and placing more money directly into the pockets of service and hourly workers.
In addition, the One Big, Beautiful Bill tackles persistent issues in prescription drug pricing by ending abusive spread‑pricing by Pharmacy Benefit Managers in Medicaid and requiring transparent, ingredient‑cost‑plus‑fee models—protecting the health and financial wellbeing of AMAC members and all Americans.
At a time of global uncertainty, the package also strengthens U.S. national security with dedicated funding for the military and border security. It includes $150 billion more for defense and approximately $46.5 billion for border wall construction, new personnel, and advanced surveillance technology.
“AMAC Action members are speaking loud and clear,” said AMAC Action Senior Vice President Andy Mangione. “They understand that this is more than a tax bill—it’s a blueprint for conservative reform: rewarding work, rewarding service, securing our country, and restoring fairness in prescription drug pricing.”
AMAC Action urges every Senator to listen to the thousands of voices demanding immediate passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill.

Term of the Week: Siege of Fort Ticonderoga
In the summer of 1777, a British army under the command of General John Burgoyne planned a siege of Fort Ticonderoga, an American fortification that had been captured by Ethan Allen in the early days of the war. At the confluence of Lake George and Lake Champlain, the fort controlled access to both Canada and the Hudson Valley. Although the Americans had improved the fort’s defenses and it was located at a strategic location, the heights around the fort, if not properly defended, could be used to wreak havoc. Burgoyne and his engineers understood this, capturing Mount Defiance and placing artillery there. Arthur St. Clair, commander of the garrison at Ticonderoga, had prepared two escape routes, knowing his outnumbered force had little chance of defending the fort against a concentrated British attack, but was ordered to hold the fort for as long as possible. However, when he learned of the guns of Mount Defiance and of a British attempt to cut off their escape, St. Clair decided, at risk to his reputation, to abandon the fort. In the early morning of July 6, 1777, the American garrison evacuated Ticonderoga with the British advanced guard nipping at their heels.
The fort remained a joint British and Brunswick garrison and resisted an American surprise attack in September. Following Burgoyne’s surrender at Saratoga in October 1777, the British made the decision to withdraw to Canada and destroyed much of the artillery and fortifications. American forces never reoccupied Ticonderoga, although the British returned and even rebuilt some parts of the fort in late 1781. By 1783 the theater was inactive enough that George Washington toured the ruins while waiting for the official declaration of peace and the end of the Revolutionary War.
