Fighting for public policy solutions enabling regular Americans to Live Free.
While many other organizations, such as the ACLU, are intent on shifting court decisions and public opinion against American values, we work every day to safeguard the liberties enshrined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The ACRU Action Fund stands against harmful, anti-constitutional ideologies that have taken hold in our nation’s courts, culture, and bureaucracies. We defend and promote free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment, American values, and our national sovereignty.
We hope you will join us in the fight to protect America, the best and last hope for freedom. Your donations will make a difference.
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 Action Commentary
Leftists Say the Strangest Things
Leftists are always the first to scream that rejection of their absurd policies results in people dying. Yet, when Americans are actually dying, they refute the fact and seek to convince us that there is no threat or danger.
If We Care About Lawfare, Start With the DEI and Woke Requirements Being Imposed by State Judge Pickers
The Left’s relentless campaign of woke lawfare has been on my mind recently. As I wrote this fall in these very pages, “we are in the midst of a wave of lawfare against anything that resists the Left: the Trump Administration, industries that have refused to bend the knee to progressive policy preferences, and individuals who dare disagree or speak up against the Left’s worldview.”
The Party of No Responsibility
I learned an important maxim from my service in the Army: "Leaders take responsibility, they never take credit.” It is time that America stops selecting imbecilic, irresponsible charlatans as elected officials. It is time for the adults to step up, as responsible adults, and do what is necessary to lead this Nation. It starts with telling the American people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, or being gimme-crats.
Sympathy for the Devil
How does the United States deal with non-state, non-uniform unlawful combatants? Those who are part of a defined state's armed services, who wear a common uniform, and openly carry their weapons and arms are recognized by the Law of Land Warfare as "lawful combatants.” And, as lawful combatants, they are afforded what is termed "combatant privilege.” Go back and read about the Geneva Convention protections. However, non-state, non-uniform belligerents on the battlefield, terrorists, are not afforded combatant privilege because they are unlawful combatants.
