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 Politics of Exaggerated Alarmism
As we went into our 249th Independence Day, we would once again be exposed to the progressive socialist leftist politics of exaggerated alarmism.
Happy Independence Day Y’all
It is a Republic if you can keep it...and we will continue to say Happy Independence Day, if you know why we are free and independent. Happy 249th Independence Day to my Country, these United States of America..."This We'll Defend."
Allen West: A Case of Dishonor, Shame, and Breaking of an Oath
There are those in our Nation who take an oath but bring dishonor, shame, and violation of that sacred bond upon themselves. It is a very clear choice that one can make: be in service to our Constitutional Republic, serve, protect, preserve, and defend its foundational premises, or pursue something that is antithetical to our rule of law, and break your oath.
Von Spakovsky: Rank “Ranked Choice Voting” Dead Last for Georgia
Alaska and Maine have implemented “ranked choice voting,” a confusing, chaotic method of voting. Georgia should not follow suit.“Ranked choice” really should be referred to as “rigged choice,” since it effectively disenfranchises voters and allows marginal candidates not supported by a majority of voters to win elections.
Von Spakovsky: Numbers Don’t Lie: America’s Border Crisis Is Biden-Made
The Biden administration’s open-border policies and its refusal to fully enforce federal immigration laws have imposed huge costs on local communities across the country. Border states are groaning under the enormous cost of sheltering, feeding, educating, policing, and providing medical care for tens of thousands of illegal aliens.

Quote of the Day
To be free is better than to be unfree – always. Any politician who suggests the opposite should be treated as suspect.

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.
