Their mission
Their mission is obviously to make homosexuality illegal, along with abortion, and maybe even women's voting rights. It's pretty obvious through their website and Action Alerts. As of 3rd Feb 2010 Bryan Fischer commented on the AFA web site
“”It is obvious, then, from the information gained from the FDA and the CDC that homosexual behavior represents and enormous threat to public health. Quite simply, if intravenous drug use is against the law, homosexual behavior should be too. It’s a simple matter of common sense, sound public policy, and a concern for public health.
Now once we have agreed that we have a serious health problem on our hands here, the best public policy will contain the same kind of sanctions toward homosexual behavior that we have established toward intravenous drug abuse. Whatever we think we should do to curtail injection drug use are the same sorts of things we should pursue to curtail homosexual conduct. And that's the place for the discussion to begin.

Action Alerts
Most of their Action Alerts are about frivolous things such as the McDonald's gay rights situation, or the same-sex marriage argument in California. Their emails use clearly biased, sometimes homophobic language, that still maintains the ability to seem all nice and everything.
One RWian has even subscribed to the Alerts, just to keep tabs on them.
What they're doing now
Apparently, the AFA is going to boycott Campbell's Soup. Why? They put an ad in an LGBT Magazine.
