SUMMARY:The Constitutional Foundation of Advocacy - SESSION 2: How Laws Really Get Made
DESCRIPTION:Program Overview The Constitutional Advocacy Academy is a year-long leadership and advocacy experience designed to equip engaged citizens with the knowledge and skills to influence public policy effectively and lawfully. Through monthly classes\, participants learn the constitutional foundations of advocacy\, how the legislative process really works\, and how to communicate persuasively with elected officials at the federal and state levels. Participants gain practical tools for grassroots engagement\, legislative meetings\, and community leadership—empowering them to serve as informed\, credible\, and effective advocates for the issues that matter most to them. \n\n\n\nSESSION 2: How Laws Really Get Made Most Americans remember the basics of lawmaking from Schoolhouse Rock — but the real process in Washington is far more complex. In this practical\, behind-the-scenes webinar\, we go beyond the textbook version to explore how legislation actually moves through Congress\, how negotiations shape outcomes\, and where the most important decisions truly happen. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain a real-world understanding of how bills are introduced\, debated\, amended\, negotiated\, and ultimately passed — or stalled — within today’s political and procedural environment. We’ll also unpack the role of committees\, congressional schedules\, and budget tools like reconciliation that often determine whether legislation succeeds or fails. \n\n\n\nBy the end of the class\, participants are prepared to: Describe the formal and informal steps of the federal legislative process\, identify key congressional schedules\, calendars\, and work periods\, explain the role and influence of powerful congressional committees AND understand how amendments\, negotiations\, and reconciliation shape final legislation. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re an engaged citizen\, advocate\, or simply want to better understand how decisions affecting your community are made\, this session offers practical insight into the legislative process as it really works. \n\n\n\nCan’t attend live?All registered participants will receive a recording of the webinar after it concludes.

SUMMARY:AMAC’s Social Security Guarantee: Our Plan to Prevent Insolvency
DESCRIPTION:Social Security is facing a critical funding shortfall in just a few years. Absent legislative action to preserve this venerable program\, current projections are that all recipients will need to absorb a reduction in monthly benefits in the range of 20% to 25%. Time is short\, with millions of vulnerable seniors in the path of catastrophic financial impact. But there is a pathway to overcoming this calamity…the AMAC Social Security Guarantee. \n\n\n\nWith substantial knowledge of Social Security policy and the practical application of the program’s regulations\, we’ve assembled a 15-point plan to overcome the insolvency threat and sustain the program for generations to come. This webinar will dive into AMAC’s plan\, item-by-item\, and explain how each of its specific recommendations would collectively work to resolve the projected financial problems.
