ACRU President Lori Roman Testifies to Congress About Voting in America

We should all be able to agree it should be easy to vote and hard to cheat. The integrity of the ballot box is essential to the continued success of the United States constitutional system.

ACRU recently filed two amicus briefs with the Supreme Court questioning whether lifetime bans on firearm ownership in cases where citizens were convicted of non-violent crimes is constitutional as applied.

In both cases, ACRU argues these convictions should not block the right of these Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
