A major new warning is being sounded by conservatives—this time over tariffs that could impact millions of Americans.
A high-profile conservative advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, founded by former Vice President Mike Pence, has launched a six-figure media blitz targeting the Trump administration’s latest tariff policy.
“We Need Fair Trade, Not Higher Prices” – Iowa Farmer Speaks Out
At the heart of the campaign is a powerful testimonial from Dennis Campbell, a sixth-generation farmer in Iowa. In a new ad shared widely online, Campbell warns:
“Farms like mine are at real risk. We need honest, balanced trade—not government tariffs that drive up costs and push hardworking family farmers closer to losing everything.”
His message resonates with millions of rural and suburban Americans who remember the economic pressure of past trade wars.
Conservatives Urge Return to Trump-Pence Economic Model
Tim Chapman, president of Advancing American Freedom, emphasized that these tariffs could undermine the historic economic growth seen during President Trump’s first term.
“Tariffs harm American workers, farmers, and families,” Chapman stated. “We’re calling for a swift return to the conservative formula of tax cuts, deregulation, and free markets that brought prosperity back to Main Street.”
Chapman also urged Congress and the White House to prioritize renewing the Trump-Pence tax cuts, which continue to fuel small business growth and retirement savings for older Americans.
What These New Tariffs Could Mean for You
Last week, the Trump administration announced a 10% baseline tariff on nearly all foreign imports, with even steeper rates on countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and members of the European Union. The tariffs go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.
While some officials argue the move strengthens America’s position in trade negotiations, others warn it could:
- Increase prices on farm equipment, cars, and consumer goods
- Disrupt supply chains across the Midwest and South
- Put added pressure on seniors and fixed-income families
- Spark market volatility that affects retirement accounts
Even former Vice President Mike Pence broke ranks, calling the tariffs potentially the “largest peacetime tax increase in U.S. history.”
Conservative Voices Call for Economic Freedom, Not Government Controls
As debate intensifies, grassroots conservatives and policy leaders are urging a recommitment to free-market values and American self-reliance.
“This is about preserving the freedoms that built this country,” Chapman said. “We can’t tax and tariff our way to prosperity.”
Bottom Line for Conservative Voters
This battle isn’t just about tariffs—it’s about the direction of the American economy. With financial stability, job growth, and family farms on the line, many are asking: Will we return to the proven policies of lower taxes and limited government—or risk another round of economic pain?
