The American Oath Initiative (AOI)

The American Oath Initiative (AOI) was founded in 2021 by Special Forces veteran Tony Cowden, who is currently running to represent North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District (NC CD-3). The current leadership of AOI is led by veterans from the Special Operations and the Intelligence communities, who are committed to carrying on the fight. With the help of veterans, first responders, and principled Americans, AOI is working to ensure we change the current trajectory of our nation.

It is difficult to deny that we are experiencing unparalleled complexity here at home and across the world– including unprecedented domestic issues that threaten our very freedoms and the rights granted to us by God and enshrined in the Constitution. The trust and credibility of our elected officials are at an all-time low due to corrupt and self-interested politicians that continue to forget both the everyday American and the oaths they have sworn to represent our best interests. Politicians continue to make empty promises and protect each other at all costs.
Over our careers in the military and law enforcement, we all have worked with and come across some amazing leaders. AOI has expanded these connections to build a network across the country dedicated to identifying and supporting proven leaders for local, state and federal office. The challenge ahead of us is no doubt a difficult one, but it’s time we attack the problem with strong leadership and the mindset that made us successful in our careers.
We are currently experiencing a positive movement in some of the candidates’ races that we have endorsed. We are catching the attention of establishment politicians that believe they are untouchable, due to their large bank accounts and establishment protection. The excitement of our fellow veterans and supporters is rapidly growing; every politician that doesn’t uphold their oath should take heed. Through our vast network and regional districting, AOI will be able to identify these politicians and aim to back a solid leader with principles to unseat them– leaders that will not be bought and will remember the oath they take. We will not fray from opposing failed incumbents.
The structure of AOI is designed to place the fight on a few different fronts. The Federal Super PAC operates to support and endorse candidates who remember and adhere to their Oath and share pro-America values, while our non-profit 501(C)4 arm will grow into one of the premier sources of information and education for veterans and other principled Americans looking to make a difference in their communities.
