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 Intellectual Wasteland of Our American College Campuses
Why are these young people on these campuses afraid to have open debate? Why do they wish to shut down opposing thoughts, perspectives, and insights? As liberal NY Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, “You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.” Why do they stand up and shout like little temperamental children and then run away before they can be confronted in intellectual joust? Simple, they are not being prepared for intellectual debate because too many of these campuses are wastelands for mindless lemmings.
The Leftist Deconstruction of our Electoral Process
These combined unconstitutional actions by leftists are the clear threat to the representative democracy of our Constitutional Republic — unsolicited mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, ballot drop boxes, lack of eligible voter registration review, illegal immigrants voting and being counted in our census, centralized tabulations, and rank choice voting. The ACRU stands firmly against these efforts and asks you to join us in this fight to truly save that which the left is seeking to destroy.
The Unconstitutional Undermining of our Constitutional Republic
The leftists in America are more concerned with the politics of gaining power than your Life, Liberty, and Property (Pursuit of Happiness). Your inalienable rights mean nothing to them since they conflict with their quest for power and their ideological agenda. The progressive socialist left is the greatest threat to our Constitutional Republic. You are their philosophical and political opposition and a threat to their ends. And for them, the ends justify the means, and they will seek to attain those ends by any means necessary.
ACRU’s Blackwell: The New York Times’ Ironic Coverage of the ‘Woke’ ACLU
Past famed ACLU attorneys are speaking out that the organization has caved to "cancel culture" and joined the censorious, authoritarian left. Since 2016, the ACLU has embraced the anti-Trump resistance with numerous campaigns, such as partisan efforts to accuse Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault and label all police officers as white supremacists.

Interview & Speaking Requests
LIVE FREE LOCAL
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.
