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.”
ACRU’s Lori Roman: Corporatism Will Snuff Out Individual Rights Unless We Stop It
For too long, conservatives have blindly supported corporations. While trying to support “free markets” we might inadvertently be supporting corporatism, a form of economic totalitarianism where government and corporations collude to destroy individual rights.
ACRU President Lori Roman Testifies to Congress About Voting in America
We should all be able to agree it should be easy to vote and hard to cheat. The integrity of the ballot box is essential to the continued success of the United States constitutional system. Now is the time to protect the integrity of every individual's vote by ensuring their votes are not diluted by fraudulent votes. Voter rolls across the country are filled with names of individuals who have moved, died, or are ineligible to legally vote.
An Un-Supreme Decision
Two rulings. One anniversary week. Allen West on why the Supreme Court's blessing of late mail ballots and birthright citizenship for non-citizens' children is an un-supreme way to say Happy 250th, America.
An American Homework Assignment
Before Lexington, Rhode Island patriots burned the HMS Gaspee. Allen West traces the road to 1776 from Luther to Locke, and hands America a 250th-birthday homework assignment: read the Declaration of Independence, and ask where we are in the cycle.
Behind Enemy Lines
Allen West files this Constitutional Brief from "behind enemy lines" in New England, where 250 years after the Revolution began, the "No Kings" crowd has embraced the very subjugation the Sons of Liberty died to throw off. From Massachusetts gun-control fights to Tim Kaine's claim that rights come from government, West argues the loyalists have won, and asks every American to read the Declaration aloud this July 4th.
Please Mr. President Pull the Nomination of Rebecca Taibleson!
President Trump’s frustrations with some of his past judicial nominees is well documented on Truth Social. Unfortunately, we are facing another disappointment in the nomination of Rebecca Taibleson to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
Maryland Federal Judges All Get Hit With DOJ Lawsuit for Violating the Law
On June 24, the U.S. Department of Justice filed an unprecedented complaint against all 15 of the federal district court judges in Maryland, as well as the clerk of the Maryland district court, for engaging in what Attorney General Pam Bondi calls an “egregious example of unlawful judicial overreach into the Executive Branch’s ability to enforce and administer federal [immigration] law.”

Quote of the Day
The amount of single military-age males being allowed illegal entry into America should give us all concern. As well, the same goes for the level of single military-age females. I saw videos of Mexican officials taking illegals to positions and crossing points where there were no individuals to deter their entry. See, you can put up concertina wire, but if no one is there conducting overwatch, it loses its value and capability. Over these past two years We the People have been fed lies, deception, gimmicks, optics, and platitudes when it comes to our southern border security. Now, it has reached its full zenith, and there are still two more years of Biden regime rule…even more years of a feckless Texas governor. Neither of whom are fulfilling their constitutional duties and responsibilities.

ACRU Live Free TV
In this episode of Live Free TV, Colonel West cuts through the commercialization and brings you back to what this weekend actually means. He walks you onto the hallowed ground of Lexington Green, April 19, 1775, where 77 Sons of Liberty faced down a British regiment of nearly 1,000. He reads the names of the first eight Americans who fell there, men with wives, children under five, brothers fighting beside them, and tells their stories one by one.

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.
