Empowering Americans to Live Free.
Attorney General Edwin Meese III, ACRU Director
“As Attorney General in the Reagan Administration, I committed myself to conserving and expanding freedom. It was my position that our Constitution, its text, and the original intention behind it, demanded nothing less. To argue otherwise would be to risk, as Abraham Lincoln said, “blowing out the moral lights around us.”
That’s why I’ve, again, taken up my sword in defense of our Constitution and am fighting a very real and present danger to our nation. I serve on the board of an efficient and important organization, the American Constitutional Rights Union. I believe strongly that partnered with ACRU we have a real chance to preserve the freedoms and liberties we hold dear.”
What Regular Folks Want — and Why the Left Keeps Getting It Wrong
Thanks to the inexplicable soaring personal wealth of elected officials, leftists now must rally against billionaires instead of millionaires. It is a predicament caused by progressives who have made millions since entering public office.
15 Arrests and the Fraud They Said Didn’t Exist
Fifteen Texas officials, including a county judge, city council members, and a former San Antonio mayoral candidate, have been indicted in one of the largest vote harvesting cases in recent state history. The Frio County indictments prove that organized election fraud is real, and that it targets the voters least equipped to fight back.
The Senate Wants to Jail Mayors Who Obstruct Federal Law. Good.
Senator Graham's End Sanctuary Cities Act would jail officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement. With over 200 sanctuary cities refusing to cooperate with ICE, and real people dying as a result, the real outrage is that we need this law at all. The Constitution isn't a menu. You don't get to skip the parts you find inconvenient.
Selective Outrage and Free Speech
A Minnesota woman was convicted of disorderly conduct for using a racial slur in a park. Allen West argues the outrage is selective, the prosecution is a stretch, and the real casualty is a First Amendment that never came with an adjective in front of the word "speech."
What’s in a Name?
Stop calling them liberals. John Locke would not recognize a movement that says your rights come from government, not God. They are Marxists, and it is time we said so.
The Leftist Laughable Hypocrisy
When a Democratic Socialist claimed his parents fled American "imperialism" for a better life, Martha MacCallum exposed the contradiction at the heart of Marxism. Allen West on why the left's hypocrisy is a creed of ignorance, and why 2026 forces an ideological choice, not a political one.
In Memoriam: Jack Park, ACRU Senior Legal Advisor (1954–2026)
The American Constitutional Rights Union mourns the passing of Jack Park, our Senior Legal Advisor, who died on March 16, 2026. He was 71 years old.
Democratic ‘Affordability’ Message A Joke
By basing their midterm pitch around “affordability,” Democrats are confidently demanding the keys to the car they just crashed.

Quote of the Day
No, our economy is not strong. No, we are no longer energy independent. No, we no longer possess a powerful military deterrent…matter of fact, we are a joke, as indicated by drag queen recruiters. No, we are not respected across the globe because our foreign policy is abysmal, and to have France’s President Macron downplay alliance with the US after a visit to China is telling. No, our streets are not safe, as the progressive socialist leftists by way of their well-placed Soros-backed district attorneys are releasing violent criminals. No, we do not have educational freedom and parental choice when the leftist teachers’ unions concentrate more power. Parents are being told they will lose their children if they do not consent to gender mutilation — heck, we are now struggling to understand what a woman is. We cannot be trusted to decide what car we wish to drive or appliances we want in our home, and we are being told how our home should be constructed.
The dangerous infiltration of cultural Marxism is dividing the Country in a detrimental way.

Are you frustrated with the slow pace of movement in Washington? You write, you call, and you email, but things never seem to change. Part of the reason for that is that Washington politics are far removed from you — the real base of power.
The phrase, “All politics is local,” carries a lot more weight than one might think. In the Founders’ view of our Constitutional Republic, the ultimate power rests at the most local level possible — the individual citizen. Our Constitution is carefully designed to enumerate powers we voluntarily cede to the government in a descending fashion, starting with the individual and ending with the federal government. That’s right. The real power in our country rests with the individual and then the local and state representatives they elect.
This is why the American Constitutional Rights Union started the Live Free Local initiative. Our aim is to embrace local politics and arm you with the tools to make a difference in your community and state.
ACRU Fights for Election Integrity
The ACRU fights every day to protect Americans’ most cherished constitutional right — the ability to vote in free and fair elections. Our belief is simple. It should be easy to vote and hard to cheat.

ACRU EDUCATION RESOURCES AND LEGAL INITIATIVES
As the Left shamelessly schemes to prevent election integrity measures in state legislatures and abolish them with a federal power grab (H.R. 1/S. 1), their propaganda includes references to Jim Crow laws of the past. ACRU educated the public on this issue some years ago in our publication “The Truth About Jim Crow.”
We encourage you to download this important publication and share with others. It is important to remember the history of Jim Crow and to know that it has nothing to do with present day voting integrity laws. We all should agree that it should be easy to vote and hard to cheat.
Is protecting the very things that make this country great worth 60 seconds of your time? Great! Check out the American Constitutional Rights Union’s Live Free Minute recordings and learn more about the freedoms and liberties that make this country great — and why it’s so important to protect them.
