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
…Ensure Domestic Tranquility
Allen West argues that the Left’s efforts to shut down the Department of Homeland Security and defund law enforcement directly violate the Constitution’s imperative to “ensure domestic Tranquility,” with real consequences — including the cancellation of 130 training classes for thousands of state and local officers across the country.
The Black Lives that Don’t Matter
Allen West argues that twisting the 14th Amendment to justify birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants denigrates the amendment's original purpose, securing citizenship for descendants of freed slaves, and reveals which Black lives the left considers expendable.
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.
Freedom of Religion, but for Who? Part II
From Finland's courts convicting a bishop for publishing Christian theology to Canada criminalizing scripture readings, the pattern is clear: Western governments are selectively targeting Christian speech while ignoring far more inflammatory rhetoric from other belief systems.
