The American economy is one of the greatest forces for good in the history of the world. A healthy economy is powered by millions of entrepreneurs and visionary innovators.  Our future is constrained by the unwillingness of our government to stop their fiscal irresponsibility.  American Encore will fight for meaningful change to entitlements, the drivers of our $17 trillion national debt, and demand our leaders restrain the scope and reach of government. We believe the time to act is now.
