ACRU Files Amicus Brief to Uphold Immigration Law

ACRU strongly believes that the rule of law is foundational to a well-functioning and safe society. ACRU asserts that without the ability to rid society of criminal aliens who have violated the law, this rule of law is unable to be upheld. ACRU further believes that state and local law enforcement is empowered to work with the federal government to uphold this rule of law, and that the ability to continue to detain criminals who are wanted by the federal government is of paramount importance.

Mr. President, May I Drive the Bulldozer?

In 2002, I became the first (and possibly last) Director of School Choice at the U.S. Department of Education. President George W. Bush had assembled a great team of reformers who sought to empower parents and children through expansion of school choice and a reduction in bureaucratic nonsense. What did I learn in those three and a half years? The agency should be bulldozed. It is a gigantic cesspool of apparatchiks who are sucking up money that should go to the students.

November 6, 2024

Going forward, starting Wednesday, November 6, 2024, America needs an informed electorate. We must move beyond personalities and individuals and study issues and policies. I am not asking for Americans to become political geeks, but uninformed voters become easily manipulated and become disenfranchised due to a lack of basic acumen on Civics and policies. We can no longer afford to be the Country that listens to commercials and so-called famous personalities.
