Press Release: Seeking Killer Instincts: Apply Within

August 28, 2023|

“Whatever happened to Rep. Maxine Waters and her blatant call for violence against Trump administration officials just for being Trump administration officials, calling leftists to get in their faces and confront them everywhere?” asks ACRU Executive Director Allen West in his latest OPED for TownHall.com.

Press Release: The Real Reason Biden Should Be Impeached

August 22, 2023|

“To the mindless lemmings of the progressive socialist left, and your media accomplices, your willful and intentional undermining of our Constitutional Republic will fail. I invite any of you down here to the border to walk the terrain with me and see for yourselves,” observes ACRU Executive Director Allen West in his latest OPED for TownHall.com.

Press Release: The Tenacious and the Timid

August 15, 2023|

“It cannot be debated that the progressive socialist left in America are indeed bold and audacious. They have come to the point of clearly articulating and enacting their delusional and deranged ideological agenda and dare to be challenged. Recently here in Texas, there was a piece of legislation signed into law codifying the protection of women's sports against biological males. The ceremony was held at the Texas Women's Hall of Fame in Denton. As the signing participants exited, they were met by a feral crowd who were so emboldened that some were spat upon,” observes ACRU Executive Director Allen West in his latest OPED for TownHall.com.

Press Release: The Pitfalls of Identity Politics

August 7, 2023|

“I find it interesting when Joe Biden addresses our military and harps on the subject of diversity being our greatest strength. Hmm, tell that to the 332nd Fighter Squadron, the famed Tuskegee Airmen, an all-black fighter unit. Their fame was not in being black, it was in never losing a bomber during their escort duties. The ‘Red Tails’ were, after all, the most requested unit by bomber units who wanted to come home. It had nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with skill and merit,” states ACRU Executive Director Allen West in his latest OPED for TownHall.com.

Press Release: The Politics of Alarmism

August 1, 2023|

“There is something very disconcerting about our government these days; it seems that they thrive upon alarmism. The government seeks to benefit from alarmism and create and expand government while our rights, freedoms, and liberties are reduced. I despise so-called leadership by alarmism,” states ACRU Executive Director Allen West in his latest OPED for TownHall.com.

Press Release: Leftists in America Want Economic Enslavement

July 24, 2023|

“Last week, White House mouthpiece, Karine Jean-Pierre, stated that college students, who went into a contractual agreement for a loan to attend college, a decision they made, are owed $468 billion in college debt relief by the American taxpayer," states ACRU Executive Director Allen West in his latest OPED for TownHall.com. West continues, “It appears that nothing will deter this Biden administration from overreaching its expressed constitutional powers when it comes to enacting its ideological agenda. In this case, the agenda is all about the political economics of dependency.”

Press Release: Gun Violence Ain’t a MAGA Republican Problem

July 11, 2023|

“Last week on Independence Day, a deranged cross-dressing biological black male, I will not use their name, decided to gun down innocent people in Philadelphia. It was comical to witness the leftist media avoid, at all costs, describing the shooter since it did not meet their narrative litmus test.” states ACRU Executive Director Allen West in his latest OPED for TownHall.com.

Press Release: Hey Leftists! Hands Off Our Kids!

June 21, 2023|

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 21, 2023 CONTACT: Tracey Miller, 202-660-1628, Tracey.Miller@theacru.org MEDIA AVAILABILITY: Former Congressman LTC Allen West, Executive Director, ACRU Hey Leftists! Hands Off Our Kids! We Will Not Surrender Our Children to Absurdities and Perversions Naples, FL — “‘Give us the child for eight years, and it will be a Bolshevik forever.’ The aforementioned quote is from a leading leftist, socialist/Marxist figure, Vladimir Lenin, and is also reflective of the mentality of leftists in America today. Consider the crusade of the left to begin their systemic cultural Marxist indoctrination of our children as early as kindergarten,” states ACRU [...]

Press Release: Who Are the Real Racists?

June 12, 2023|

“My ideological mentor, Booker T. Washington, embraced a philosophy of economic empowerment through education, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance, regardless of the circumstances facing Blacks. Indeed, that is the message of individual empowerment that reflects the ideal of America being a land of opportunity. It is not an “exception” it is a fundamental principle of this country, and this is why so many seek our shores,” states ACRU Executive Director Allen West in his most recent TownHall OpEd.

Birthright Citizenship: Game On! – The American Mind

February 4, 2025|
