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.

American Values

April 21st, 2026|

Trust Iran? Why?

April 14th, 2026|

Allen West draws on Islamic history and the doctrine of taqiyya to argue that Iran’s ceasefire is a strategic ploy, not a path to peace. The real objective: cut Iran off from the energy resources that prop up its regime and hold the world hostage.

…Ensure Domestic Tranquility
