LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Dear AMAC Member, If you are anything like me, you understand when I say watching the 2023 ball drop in New York City on the small screen felt strangely different from what I remember as a young girl. Amid the glitter and glam, with most channels celebrating the new age sexual revolution, the television screen cast another reminder of how much has changed over the last 30 years and how much work we have ahead of us. Wokeism has metastasized at an alarming rate. What was once revered as morally correct is now used to slander those who believe in things like a woman’s right to privacy in the bathroom and the undeniable truth that life in the womb has intrinsic value. But then I was reminded of the small miracles, the good doers, the relentless work carried out by ordinary people across the globe, those who remain connected to reality and understand that virtue matters. Some of the most inspiring examples of Christian virtue from 2022 can be found on page 8, a wonderful reminder of hope and a brighter future! In 2023, AMAC’s advocacy arm, AMAC Action, will be supremely focused on working with Congress to move forward AMAC’s Social Security Guarantee (SSG) (see page 22). It was my honor to represent AMAC members in a Special Senate Committee on Aging hearing, where I shared how AMAC’s SSG will strengthen the program and avoid any decrease in benefits without raising taxes (see page 46). In 2023 and beyond, AMAC remains steadfast in our commitment to helping implement policies that lower the cost of your prescription drugs, and we will not cease in our fight to promote election integrity nationally and throughout the states. While 2023 brings us a divided Congress, we do not lose hope. The good work produced by thousands of AMAC members has made a tremendous impact, and we are only growing stronger.
