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.”
The Party of Mean Girls…and Petulant, Weak Boys
The party of the mean girls and weak boys is really the kids that no one picked to play, and they are angry about their rejection. Their goal is to punish you for not being inclusive of their demented behavior.
What is Law to the Marxist Left?
What is law to the Marxist left? To the rest of us, the law is the law. To the Marxists, it is whatever they want it to be to maintain control.
You Reap What You Sow
There has been incessant commentary, analysis, assessments, and consternation about the results from last week's off-cycle elections. There are those on the left who are dancing in the end zone and spiking the football. Those on the right are seemingly wringing their hands. So, what is my assessment of the situation from last Tuesday's election?
Attacking parents is a primary leftist strategy
Parenthood. What causes liberal elites to despise this institution? So, what is it about parenthood that brings up such vitriolic reactions these days? Parenthood is more than the ability to bring children into this world. Indeed, it is the ability of an adult to take joy in the responsibilities that come with educating, rearing, and taking care of one’s children.
Democrats are threatening to remove security funding for Supreme Court
ACRU Executive Director Allen West has this to say on the issue, "The Senate Democrats do not possess the power of the purse, so any appropriations measure they propose would have to be approved by the US House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers assault by Senate Democrats against the Judicial branch is a clear threat to our representative democracy and its foundations. But, if the US Supreme Court needs a security force, I am more than happy to head it up!"

Quote of the Day
No, we no longer have a free press. It has been overtaken by an ideological progressive socialist press that is focused on suppression of truth. When that happens, We the People suffer because our individual rights are undermined due to being kept in the dark, and fed bovine excrement.

Hey everyone, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West here from the American Constitutional Rights Union. In this episode of Live Free TV, we dive into the DIME Theory—Diplomatic, Informational, Military, and Economic power—and how it’s crucial for the U.S. to fix its trade imbalances. We check out a blast from the past with a 1996 Nancy Pelosi clip about China and most favored nation status. Fast forward 29 years, and we’re still grappling with hefty trade deficits. If you’re curious about how trade policies impact everything from jobs to national security, and why it’s important to think long-term, this episode is for you. Let’s take a stand and get back to the America our founders envisioned! You won’t want to miss this eye-opening discussion — share and spread the word!

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.
