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.”

Cleanup on Aisle 7

By |November 19th, 2024|

Democrats made a mess of America in every way. What is quite disconcerting is that they are angry and attacking those people who reported that we needed a cleanup on aisle 7, heck, all the aisles. Worse, they’ve gone into vicious attack mode on the people being called in to clean up.

Things That Make You Go Hmm…

Let's be happy about the results of the 2024 election, but let's never take our eye off the ball again, especially when it comes to election integrity.

The Leftists Didn’t Get the Memo

By |November 12th, 2024|

Leftists, I advise y'all to read the memo sent last Tuesday. If you fail to do so, it will solidify your peril. And actually, true American constitutional conservative Patriots would not mind that at all.

ACRUs Blackwell: DeSantis is right: A state election crimes agency will make elections more secure

By |February 2nd, 2022|

The Left and their liberal media allies love to point to the low number of election crimes prosecuted as proof that there is little to no voter fraud. They claim these low figures prove we have secure elections and that we do not need election integrity reforms.There is one major problem with this argument. Far too often, county election supervisors refer election crimes to county prosecutors, and these referrals gather dust. Prosecuting election crimes requires resources, time, and expertise of election law that most local county prosecutors do not have. Prosecutors also face political pressure to not prosecute election crime cases.

Quote of the Day

Should our Congressional Representatives be afforded a recess in August if they have not met, or even close to meeting, their only constitutionally mandated duty? The legislative branch has the most constitutionally enumerated powers of our three branches of government. But, one that is mandated is to pass an annual budget. This is something that has not been done in years.

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.
