The American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) is dedicated to defending the constitutional rights of all Americans. ACRU stands against harmful, anti-constitutional ideologies that have taken hold in our nation’s courts, culture, and bureaucracies. We defend and promote free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment, and national sovereignty.
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.”
Defenders of the Constitution: Standing with Those Who Stand for the Law
I am proud to highlight our Defenders Initiative—a nationwide effort to assist, encourage, and recognize sheriffs and law enforcement officers who faithfully honor their constitutional oath to protect and serve. In an era when the rule of law is often challenged, and when the leftist ACLU is trying to intimidate local law enforcement and local officials, we proudly come alongside these men and women who stand as guardians of public safety and defenders of the Constitution.
It’s Constitution Day
Commemorating Constitution Day recognizes the formal completion of the Constitution of the United States on September 17, 1787, when 39 Constitutional Convention delegates signed the document. Over the next nine months, states worked to ratify the Constitution, with the nine necessary states making it official on June 21, 1788, with New Hampshire’s approval. By May 29, 1790, all 13 states had ratified the guiding principles for the new government.

Breaking the Law
The preeminent role of government is to safeguard the unalienable, natural rights of the individual: life, liberty, and property. Instead of each of us going about as armed vigilantes, we submit to the government the responsibility to collectively secure and protect those rights.
The Fall of Islam
The fall of Islam will start here in Texas, and it will inspire others in America to stand, and in turn do so for the world. We begin by reading their strategic plan and understanding who they are, and taking them at their word. Islam is not looking for coexistence, so scratch them off that bumper sticker. They tell you so. Don't believe me? Ask Christians in Nigeria, the Middle East, Sudan, and globally.
Who Is Above the Law?
Politicians on the left often proclaim that “no one is above the law,” yet their actions suggest a very different standard when it comes to their own allies.

Quote of the Day
The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
The Robert B. Carleson Freedom Scholarship
The American Constitutional Rights Union is proud to announce the creation of The Robert B. Carleson Freedom Scholarship, honoring our founder’s lifelong dedication to liberty, limited government, and the principles of the U.S. Constitution.

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.

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.
