Honesty and Trust

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published September 25, 2013 on Townhall.com.

Dishonesty, lying and cheating are not treated with the right amount of opprobrium in today’s society. To gain an appreciation for the significance of honesty and trust, consider what our day-to-day lives would be like if we couldn’t trust anyone. When we purchase a bottle of 100 pills from our pharmacist, how many of us bother to count the pills? We pull in to a gasoline station and pay $35 for 10 gallons of gasoline. How do we know for sure whether we in fact received 10 […]

Your Move, Global Warming Alarmists. Science Has Exposed Your Unwarranted Hysteria

By |2013-09-29T21:09:49-04:00September 29th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published September 22, 2013 on Forbes.com.

Who will decide American public policy on the issue of potentially catastrophic man caused global warming? The answer is you and me, through the democratic process that governs our country.

So spare me the comments saying Shut Up, you are not a scientist and your commentary here is not peer reviewed scientific literature, so you have no business even talking about it. That is an anti-democratic, brown shirt tactic meant to foreclose public discussion and debate, which has been the dominant strategy of those […]

ACRU Wins Historic Election Integrity Consent Decree (Walthall County, Mississippi)

By |2020-04-23T21:59:26-04:00September 24th, 2013|

Mississippi county agrees to take the dead, felons and the double-registered off its voter rolls.

HATTIESBURG, MS (Sept. 4, 2013) — Officials in Walthall County, Mississippi, were sued in April by the American Civil Rights Union (ACRU) under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (commonly called “Motor Voter”) for having more registered voters than voting-age-eligible residents.

Today, the parties have settled the case. The United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi entered a final consent decree that requires the defendants to clean up the county’s voter rolls.

“This is historic and should have been done 20 years ago,” said ACRU […]

The Fight to Defund Is a Fight for Liberty

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Jan LaRue was published September 22, 2013 on the American Thinker website.

Texas doesn’t have an ObamaCare Exchange — we have the Alamo.

Sen. Ted Cruz is our contemporary William B. Travis, commandant of the Alamo and defender of liberty. Standing with Cruz to defund ObamaCare are Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). Think of them as Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, and company.

These super-smart senators, like the majority of Americans, get it. ObamaCare is the greatest […]

Conservatives Rescuing Obama

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published September 18, 2013 on Forbes.com.

Obamacare has not even gone into effect yet, and there it lies substantively smashed on the floor in ruins. The cost of health insurance on the Obamacare Exchanges for next year is already soaring, for those states that will have Obamacare Exchanges opening on October 1. Obamacare also already promises to limit access to health care for those with Obamacare health insurance next year, meaning you won’t have the same access to the same doctors and hospitals that you have with health insurance today.

Thought Obama promised if you like […]

Student Indoctrination

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published September 18, 2013 on Townhall.com.

The new college academic year has begun, and unfortunately, so has student indoctrination. Let’s look at some of it.

William Penn, Michigan State University professor of creative writing, greeted his first day of class with an anti-Republican rant. Campus Reform, a project of the Arlington, Va.-based Leadership Institute, has a video featuring the professor telling his students that Republicans want to prevent “black people” from voting. He added that “this country still is full of closet racists” and described […]

Supreme Court to Consider New Obamacare Case

By |2023-03-10T08:04:40-05:00September 19th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published September 18, 2013 on Breitbart.com.

Obamacare is before the U.S. Supreme Court again. On Thursday, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) lawyers filed the first viable petition for Supreme Court review involving Kathleen Sebelius’ HHS Mandate, which requires employers to provide abortion-related insurance coverage, even if those employers have a religious objection to abortion.

Section 1001 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA, or Obamacare) requires all large employers to offer “preventive services” to their employees or face enormous financial penalties. With President Obama’s approval, Sebelius issued a regulation that defined preventive services […]

'Hope And Change' Means Punishingly Slow Growth for Obama's Biggest Supporters

By |2013-09-17T13:13:01-04:00September 17th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published September 13, 2013 on Forbes.com.

Steve Moore of the Wall Street Journal explained President Obama’s 2012 reelection in the September 4 edition as follows: “Mr. Obama was reelected with 51% of the vote….He cleaned up with 60% of the youth vote, 67% of single women, 93% of blacks, 71% of Hispanics, and 64% of those without a high school diploma, according to exit polls.”

But it is precisely these groups that President Obama’s economic policies have punished the most. The latest data on incomes shows that since the end of the […]

You Don't Have to Stay Poor

By |2013-09-12T09:27:21-04:00September 12th, 2013|

This column by ACRU Policy Board Member and Professor of Economics Dr. Walter E. Williams was published September 11, 2013 on Townhall.com.

No one can blame you if you start out in life poor, because how you start is not your fault. If you stay poor, you’re to blame because it is your fault. Nowhere has this been made clearer than in Dennis Kimbro’s new book, The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires.

Kimbro, a business professor at Clark Atlanta University, conducted extensive face-to-face interviews, took surveys and had other interactions with nearly 1,000 of America’s black financial elite, many […]

100 Years after Woodrow Wilson, Mark Levin Pens a Brilliant Response

By |2020-04-23T21:58:15-04:00September 12th, 2013|

This column by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara was published September 8, 2013 on Forbes.com.

One hundred years ago, Woodrow Wilson was leading a counterrevolution against the Constitution. Unfortunately, he was doing it from the White House, as President of the United States. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Wilson was one of the early leaders of the so-called Progressive Movement, which was an open conspiracy against the Constitution from the start. Former President of Princeton University, he had the haughty attitude of superiority that marks so-called “Progressives” to this day. He […]
