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 Ties that Bond Marxists and Islamists
Mayor Mamdani vows to swap rugged individualism for collectivism. The Hamas charter calls for Israel's destruction and Jews worldwide. Allen West argues the tie that binds Marxists and Islamists is a shared war on Western civilization, and America is the front line.
The Leftist Hypocrisy with the Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais ended race-based congressional gerrymandering under the Voting Rights Act, and the left is howling. The catch: the same party crying foul today is the one that made the VRA necessary in the first place.
Why Are Democrats Aiding and Abetting Iran?
From John Kerry thanking Iran’s Revolutionary Guards for “taking care” of captured U.S. Sailors, to Armed Services Committee Democrats now branding the Iran campaign a “quagmire,” LTC Allen West argues the pattern is unmistakable: the Democrat party is aiding and abetting the world’s number one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism.
Supreme Court to decide on racial gerrymandering in Louisiana v. Callais
At issue is Louisiana’s congressional map, which was redrawn after litigation to include a second majority-Black district, under the Voting Rights Act. Advocates of the redistricting effort said the map protects minority voting rights. In reality, it transforms the Voting Rights Act into a tool for partisan gerrymandering, forcing states to engineer partisan districts under the guise of racial equity.
ACRU Files Amicus Brief to Uphold Immigration Law
ACRU strongly believes that the rule of law is foundational to a well-functioning and safe society. ACRU asserts that without the ability to rid society of criminal aliens who have violated the law, this rule of law is unable to be upheld. ACRU further believes that state and local law enforcement is empowered to work with the federal government to uphold this rule of law, and that the ability to continue to detain criminals who are wanted by the federal government is of paramount importance.

Quote of the Day
A line in the sand has been drawn. Our domestic enemy has intentionally identified themselves. It is sad that we are at this point, but the progressive socialist leftists have indeed declared war on America, its foundations, fundamentals, principles and values. These leftists have proven to us that they are more than willing to use violence as a means to their ends. We have to be smarter, but we must also be resolute and vigilant, never cowering.

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.
