===Climate===
AVN has been a vocal supporter for legislation dealing with climate change and other environmental issues. In 2010, AVN released a series of ads on American cable news networks [[CNN]], [[Fox News]], and [[MSNBC]] that targeted [[Lindsey Graham|Senator Lindsey Graham]]’s change in position on environmental legislative reform.<ref>{{cite web|last=AmericanValuesNet|title=Back Then|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mxrjpPhb3NU|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=24 June 2013}}</ref> AVN has also conducted a number of email appeals and campaigns. In 2009, the organization sent an email to more than 650,00 people in Colorado, Arizona, and Arizona in which members of the military, including Brigadier General John Watkins, emphasized the need for comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation as a matter of national security.<ref>{{cite news|last=Cillizza|first=Chris|title=The Fix|url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/morning-fix/081809-morning-fix-rust-belt-r.html|accessdate=24 June 2013|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=18 August 2009}}</ref>
===Budget===
American Values Network roots their views on budget in the Biblical tradition of caring for the poor and vulnerable. They believe that the government has a responsibility to protect "the least of these" and that this call is too strong for Democratic leaders to ignore.
===Countering the Right===
AVN has run a handful campaigns with the goal of either correcting conservative misinformation or exposing conservative hypocrisy. These include their "Tea Party Jesus"<ref name="Tea Party Jesus">{{cite web|title=Tea Party Jesus|url=http://teapartyjesus.org/|work=American Values Network|accessdate=23 January 2014}}</ref> and "Christians Must Choose: Ayn Rand or Jesus."<ref name="Christians Must Choose: Ayn Rand or Jesus">{{cite web|title=Christians Must Choose: Ayn Rand or Jesus|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6LSpFgxL94|work=American Values Network|accessdate=23 January 2014}}</ref>. In both campaigns AVN developed videos explaining disparity between what conservative Christians say they believe and the actions of people or groups that they politically support.
