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

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.

When the Government Decides What’s Funny

February 23rd, 2026|

Politicians don't get to decide what speech might make them look bad. That's not how the First Amendment works. Political satire has been protected since before the ink dried on the Bill of Rights, and it'll be protected long after today's thin-skinned legislators are retired to their private islands, made affordable with proceeds from “lucky investments” of their government salaries.

The Incompatibility of Sharia Law with the U.S. Constitution

February 18th, 2026|

Texas is voting to ban Sharia law — and for good reason. When apostasy, simply leaving Islam, is a capital crime in over a dozen countries, there is no compatibility with our First Amendment. Just ask Nissar Hussain, a British Pakistani man condemned to death by a Sharia court for converting to Christianity. His warning to America is one we cannot afford to ignore.

Marxist Leftists, the Threat to Our Democracy

February 18th, 2026|

America is a Constitutional Republic, not a pure democracy — and the progressive left's push for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, opposition to the SAVE Act, and efforts to undermine electoral integrity prove they are the real threat to our democratic processes. With Virginia on the verge of becoming the 18th NPVIC state, the stakes for the 2026 midterms couldn't be higher.

One Thing Leads to Another

February 11th, 2026|

The basic purpose of the SAVE Act is to require individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Now, this sounds just simple, easily comprehensible, and agreeable, right?
