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.”

Allen West argues today's Democratic Socialists are reading from the same Marxist script King George III would recognize, an intellectually bankrupt ideology that has failed everywhere it's been tried.
The Ghosts of 1938
A signed “deal” with Iran, sold as a path to peace, looks a lot like Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 agreement with Hitler. Allen West argues America stopped short of victory and tossed a terror-sponsoring regime a lifeline, warning that those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
What is Election Day?
When ballots keep appearing for a week after the polls close, what does "Election Day" even mean? Allen West on California’s endless counting, the "margin of cheating," and why the ACRU is backing a Supreme Court case to give elections a hard deadline.

Commentary: Big Pharma Puts China and Profits Over Americans
Pharmaceutical company executives have been courting President Trump trying to convince him to protect their industry and to continue the cozy relationship between Big Pharma and the government. But Americans voted for change and transparency. With ever-increasing drug prices and decreasing health outcomes, drugmakers’ practices are failing the American public. It’s time for the U.S. government to take a hard stand and hold these corporations accountable. Read More: Commentary: Big Pharma Puts China and Profits Over Americans | The Ohio Star

Quote of the Day
We are taught as Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines that we have the right to refusal of any order that is unlawful. This directive from Joe Biden to deploy US military troops to further the invasion of illegal immigrants is indeed unlawful, unconstitutional. Our troops have the right of refusal to deploy, just as our US Border Patrol agents who are charged with protecting our border have right of refusal.
And we wonder why recruitment and retention in our Armed Forces is lagging?

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.
