The American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) is dedicated to defending the constitutional rights of all Americans. ACRU 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, and national sovereignty.
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.”
15 Arrests and the Fraud They Said Didn’t Exist
Fifteen Texas officials, including a county judge, city council members, and a former San Antonio mayoral candidate, have been indicted in one of the largest vote harvesting cases in recent state history. The Frio County indictments prove that organized election fraud is real, and that it targets the voters least equipped to fight back.
The Senate Wants to Jail Mayors Who Obstruct Federal Law. Good.
Senator Graham's End Sanctuary Cities Act would jail officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement. With over 200 sanctuary cities refusing to cooperate with ICE, and real people dying as a result, the real outrage is that we need this law at all. The Constitution isn't a menu. You don't get to skip the parts you find inconvenient.
Election Day Means Election Day
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear Watson v. Republican National Committee, a case that could redefine what “Election Day” means nationwide. At stake is whether ballots must be received by Election Day or may arrive afterward — a decision with major implications for election law, voter confidence, and the uniformity of federal elections.
Marxist Leftists: The True Threat to our Representative Democracy
From the NPVIC to killing voter ID to blocking the SAVE America Act, Allen West argues the Marxist left has spent 50 years telling us exactly what they intend to do. The 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence may be the moment we finally listen.
American Values
After a visit to Pueblo's Center for American Values, Allen West asks what American values really mean in our 250th year, and draws a hard line between the individual sovereignty our founders affirmed and the collectivism today's Marxist left is selling.
Can We Be a Moral People?
Allen West invokes John Adams' warning that the Constitution was made only for a moral people, arguing that the resignations of Representatives Gonzales and Swalwell may signal Americans are finally demanding virtue and accountability from their elected officials.
In Memoriam: Jack Park, ACRU Senior Legal Advisor (1954–2026)
The American Constitutional Rights Union mourns the passing of Jack Park, our Senior Legal Advisor, who died on March 16, 2026. He was 71 years old.
Democratic ‘Affordability’ Message A Joke
By basing their midterm pitch around “affordability,” Democrats are confidently demanding the keys to the car they just crashed.

Quote of the Day
One of the drawbacks of apportionment today is the large number of aliens in the country, particularly illegal aliens, who distort the representation that states have in the House because the Census Bureau includes them in the population count used to determine how many representatives each state should have. The growing alien population is unfairly and unjustly altering the political representation of the states in the House of Representatives, cheating citizens and devaluing their votes in favor of aliens who have no right to participate in governing this country.
The Robert B. Carleson Freedom Scholarship
The American Constitutional Rights Union is proud to announce the creation of The Robert B. Carleson Freedom Scholarship, honoring our founder’s lifelong dedication to liberty, limited government, and the principles of the U.S. Constitution.
Beginning in January 2026, this scholarship will be awarded annually to graduating high school seniors who demonstrate a strong commitment to constitutional values and civic responsibility.
Named for Robert B. Carleson, a visionary public servant who championed individual freedom and self-reliance, the scholarship will help deserving students pursue higher education while carrying forward his enduring legacy. Learn more about Robert Carleson’s impact here.
The Defenders Initiative recognizes law enforcement agencies honoring their constitutional oath to protect and to serve by working cooperatively with ICE to identify, process, and detain dangerous immigration offenders per Section 287(g).

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.
