PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF ALL AMERICANS
The American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) is dedicated to defending the constitutionally-protected civil rights of all Americans.
While many other organizations, such as the ACLU, are intent on shifting court decisions and public opinion against American values, we work every day to safeguard the liberties enshrined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
We hope you will join us in the fight to protect America, the best and last hope for freedom. Your donations will make a difference.

ACRU becomes the American Constitutional Rights Union
ACRU is proud to announce an organizational name change from American Civil Rights Union to American CONSTITUTIONAL Rights Union as we continue to honor the legacy of founder Bob Carleson to “to defend constitutionally-protected rights of all Americans.” As President Lori Roman notes, “we were created as an antidote to the ACLU. We can think of no better way to punctuate that ACRU is the true defender of individual and economic freedoms that are unique and fundamental to our nation than to include “Constitution” in our name.”

It’s good to be a leftist felon until the FBI steps in
New York State and City’s bail “reforms” regularly release violent felons back into communities. Now, in Portland, a rioter arrested three times in four weeks, twice for assaulting police officers, was re-re-released. Portland doesn’t even need bail “reform” to let leftists loose to inflict fear and economic calamity on the law abiding folks just trying to pursue life, liberty and happiness.
Democrats Just Say No to Trump judges
For judicial watchers, the Senate’s inaction on approving Trump appointed Constitutional jurists has been frustrating and painful. As pointed out in this fact-filled Federalist article, Trump’s judges have received half of the “no” votes ever given to judges in our entire history. These approval statistics are devastating, and meanwhile, the impact on citizens waiting for hearings and trials is — you guessed it —“Trump’s fault.”
Constitution Day truths and the “three fourths” compromise
September 17th is the 233rd anniversary of our Constitution, and we hope you will join us in celebrating this magnificent document. This review of (actual) Constitutional history from the Acton Institute explains a largely ignored tact the Founders took to fight slavery. The “three fourths” law was a maneuver by Northern signers to reduce the political power of slave states. History only informs when all facts are revealed.
Second Amendment Sanctuary movement forges ahead
Cities continue to descend into leftist chaos while people are attacked in their homes and in restaurants. August 2020 gun sales rose 58% over August 2019 gun sales. Even in California, lawful citizen activists are demanding 2nd Amendment Sanctuary laws so that the law abiding can defend themselves against lawless masses who seem to be increasing in numbers on a daily basis.
Texas county on notice after suppressing religious liberty
Texas AG Ken Paxton has sent a letter to the liberal Cameron County judge and health officials who are demanding faith-based schools stay closed. Paxton’s letter reminds them (we are paraphrasing) that the Constitution is still the law of the land and that religious freedom still extends to religious schools.

Crisis Tyrants
Crisis tyrants v. Football Mom
Un-masked Mom fully distanced with her own family in bleachers. Bullying cop pulls her up and tases her for not wearing a mask. No matter what your position on masks, this is a DISGRACE and another example of Crisis Tyrants in action.
Won’t open church? Then we’ll worship amongst the slot machines
The liberal governor of Nevada unilaterally decided casinos could hold thousands of people and churches (regardless of capacity) could only have 50. Liberal Supreme Court justices and Chief Justice Roberts threw religious freedom under the bus by agreeing. But a group of worshipers found a workaround to exercise their Constitutional rights. Perfect. Brilliant.
Justice Roberts becomes the anti-religious freedom swing vote
An un-Constitutional and absurd ruling from the Supreme Court last week decided a Nevada church had to adhere to arbitrary and biased COVID guidelines from its liberal governor. Democrat Governor Sisolak is allowing hundreds of people into bars and casinos but only 50 souls per church without even considering church size. Casting the First Amendment to the wind, liberal justices were joined by Justice Roberts in pretending our first freedoms are less important than cocktails and Blackjack.
