American Accountability Foundation AMERICAN ACCOUNTABILITY FOUNDATION
FULL-SERVICE OPPOSITION RESEARCH & DEPLOYMENT

WE DON'T JUST FIND THE FACTS. WE MAKE SURE THEY HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

The American Accountability Foundation is the conservative movement's go-to opposition research shop — and its most aggressive distribution channel. Research that sits in a binder changes nothing. We build the file, then we place it: exclusives with national reporters, dossier microsites, congressional oversight letters, and complaints that force a response. Our work has driven coverage in Reuters, The New York Times, Fox News, The Washington Post, CNN, NBC, and the Daily Caller — and has put national labor unions under congressional investigation.

TAKING ON BIG LABOR

AAF built the financial case that union bosses spend rank-and-file dues on politics their own members reject — then put it in front of reporters and the House Education & Workforce Committee.

On August 6, 2026, the Committee opened a formal document demand of five national unions: UAW, United Steelworkers, SMART-TD, BLET, and BMWED.

WHAT WE BRING TO A FIGHT

▸ {{ cap }}

PUT OUR RESEARCH TEAM ON YOUR FIGHT.

MISSION-ALIGNED. AMERICA FIRST.

We are not a gun for hire. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that believes the time to save America is now — and we are willing to fight to do it. We bring the tools of oppo research to that fight.

Every research and deployment project we take on advances an America First agenda — securing the border, breaking the administrative state, ending the capture of our institutions by the left and by Beijing. We don't launder libertarian pet causes, and we don't take the other side of a fight we believe in for a fee. If your objective is our objective, there is no better shop in the movement. If it isn't, we'll tell you so and save you the retainer.

Quick-turn projects · Monthly retainers · Research paired with a full public affairs campaign — with or without your name on it.
