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.”

An American Insurgency

We are all called upon to defend our homeland, the Biden-HARRIS administration has miserably failed in doing so.

Panem et Circenses

By |September 3rd, 2024|

Our Founding Fathers realized that to keep and maintain this Constitutional Republic, not a democracy, it would be incumbent on having an informed electorate. Apparently, cheap food and entertainment, combined with the ideological indoctrination and the Orwellian-like propaganda state supported by a complicit and diabolical leftist media, preclude that from happening.

Von Spakovsky: Media Attacks Florida’s Governor for Proposing to Go After Election Crimes

By |February 2nd, 2022|

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a good idea with his budget proposal to create an “election crimes agency” that would “investigate election crimes and irregularities and make referrals for further legal action directly to a statewide prosecutor.” Florida should implement it, and other states should follow. In fact, state legislators should make sure that a statewide prosecutor’s office has jurisdiction to prosecute all such election cases, especially when local prosecutors fail to act.

ACRUs Ken Blackwell: Black History as Shared American History

By |February 2nd, 2022|

Today, Americans of all stripes are constantly bombarded with an insidious propaganda campaign against our shared history. From Critical Race Theory to ripping down historical statues, our national story is being rewritten as irredeemably sinful. These efforts have taken a particularly racialized characteristic by implying that Black history is somehow distinct from, or in opposition to, “American history” itself, rather than an integral part of it.

Quote of the Day

The leftists always pivot back to the tool used by these evil persons and how that must be controlled. Leftists constantly tip their hands in that they do not wish to solve this issue. They only want legal, law-abiding gun owners punished. Criminals do not abide by laws. Not a single one of my weapons has ever walked out of the gun closet, loaded itself, and embarked upon a shooting rampage.

  • LTC West welcomes Professor William Jacobson, Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Securities Law Clinic, Cornell Law School and Founder of EqualProtect.org, to discuss the line between freedom of speech, expression and assembly versus support of terrorism. This issue is particularly hot on college campuses in the wake of the recent terror attacks in Israel, where speech is often regulated, but the rules are applied unequally and inconsistently. The reason? As Professor Jacobson explains, college campuses have been “completely ideologically captured by the left,” leading to an extreme intolerance of other people’s viewpoints.

  • According to the Constitution, our local and state legislators are the ones to whom we voluntarily cede the most political power. All politics really is local. On this episode of Live Free TV, LTC Allen West welcomes Representative Donna Rozar from the great state of Wisconsin. Rep. Rozar and LTC West discuss the importance of citizens and their local and state legislators protecting the integrity of our elections. Rep. Rozar shares her experiences with out-of-state money coming into Wisconsin to influence elections. You might be surprised at what election integrity legislation was vetoed by the Governor.

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.

The Truth About Jim Crow

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.
