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 Enemies of American Independence
The oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, has no expiration date. Allen West on why the Marxists and their Islamist allies now winning American elections are precisely the domestic enemies the Founders warned us about, and why it's time to name them as such.
The Law of the Land in the Land of Lincoln
In the Land of Lincoln, the Law of the Land no longer holds. Allen West on how Chicago's sanctuary policies, its war on religious liberty, and its contempt for the Second Amendment reveal a Marxist left that honors the Constitution only when it's convenient, and the deadly cost when it doesn't.
Happy Independence Day, America, Courtesy of the Chinese Communist Party
As America marks its 250th Independence Day, the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling hands Beijing a gift, and China's new ethnic unity law makes its intent to dominate unmistakable. Allen West on why the CCP sits at the core of the 21st-century axis of evil.
Election Interference Exposed
The public release of FBI emails by Senate Judiciary Chairman Senator Chuck Grassley about China interference in American elections answers the question people have asked for five years – was the 2020 election free of foreign interference?
Due Process and Aliens: What They Are and Are Not Entitled to in Immigration Proceedings
Immigration cases are civil rather than criminal proceedings, and aliens have limited due process rights as defined by Congress and Supreme Court precedents. Those rights differ depending on whether aliens are trying to enter this country or are already here, legally or illegally, as well as their visa or other status.

Quote of the Day
If we do not end the evolution of the Secret State Police, our American version of the East German Stasi police, the FBI, we will live in a state of fear, which is tyranny.

Lt. Col. Allen West breaks down the new U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and asks whether America is moving toward peace — or repeating the mistakes of 1938.

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.
