AMAC Action has a total of 348 (and growing) volunteer advocates serving in the capacity of Delegates, Chapter Leaders, and in the dual role of Chapter Leader/Delegate. These advocates serve as our “feet on the street” at the grassroots level. New advocate recruiting efforts have yielded strong results with 79 new advocates being onboarded in 2021. Additionally, there are over 320,000 AMAC Action advocates who have participated in Congressional, state level, and regulatory Call-to-Action campaigns by contacting their representatives to express their views on issues like election integrity, budget bills, support for the Senate filibuster, healthcare, and Article V. AMAC Action State Coordinators AMAC Action retains a team of State Coordinators who visit Congressional offices in multi-state regions. State Coordinators work on behalf of AMAC’s legislative mission while working closely with local Delegates and Chapter Leaders to develop skills, recruit new advocates, and schedule Congressional and Chapter events. AMAC Action has State Coordinators active in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin. In addition to working with advocates at meetings in the field, AMAC Action State Coordinators attended 22 meetings with Congressional offices and other events in 2021 and facilitated a Congressional candidate forum in Texas’ 6th District with AMAC Action Delegates and Chapter Leaders. Calls-to-Action AMAC Action activated the membership at-large and in individual states throughout 2021 to contact federal and state representatives in numerous Call-to-Action campaigns to compel them to support election integrity legislation, oppose Critical Race Theory, rein in federal spending, promote hospital price transparency, and other issues of interest to the membership: • In February, AMAC members sent over 48,000 emails appealing to the US Senate to work in a bipartisan manner to secure our elections and not consider the “For the People Act” as a solution to reform elections. • In March, Kentucky AMAC members made over 100 telephone calls to the state Senate telling them to support H.B. 574 and ensured its placement on the legislative agenda. This comprehensive election reform bill was placed on the agenda, passed, and was signed into law by the Governor. • In March, the AMAC membership sent the US Senate over 146,000 messages telling them not to support the “For the People Act.” • In March, April, May, and June, Arizona AMAC members sent 22,374 emails to the state legislature telling them to vote for election integrity bills and their support helped to get third-party money out of local election administration; stop inactive voters from automatically receiving ballots; prevent the changing of election deadlines; penalize non-compliance for cleaning up voter rolls; and enhance voter ID for early voting ballots; all of which were signed into law by Governor Doug Ducey. AMAC members also told the Arizona legislature to support a measure that bans Critical Race Theory funding for public employees. This bill passed the legislature and was signed into law by the Governor as well. • In March and April, Mississippi AMAC members sent 335 messages to the state legislature telling them to approve a measure that would allow Mississippi to join with other states in initiating an Article V Constitutional-amending convention.
