Committee to Support and Defend

America’s Constitutional Conservative Veterans Organization

Join the Committee to Support and Defend!

Military men and women choose to step forward to defend our freedoms. They take an oath to support and defend the Constitution. By joining the Committee to Support and Defend, you will support veterans and active-duty military who believe that oath has no expiration date. The Committee to Support and Defend:

  1. Provides a voice for our military members, past and present.
  2. Mobilizes veterans to keep our Constitutional Republic strong.
  3. Educates and assists during elections to make sure every military vote is counted.

Please join the Committee today!

SUPPORTING THE MILITARY’S MISSION IS OUR MISSION

RECRUIT

We must always strive to recruit the best and finest and remain focused on growing our ranks.  We are laser focused on supporting and defending the quality and superiority of the United States military — which has been and must remain a meritocracy.

TRAIN

To win, our military must relentlessly train, focusing maximum effort on preparation. Likewise, the Committee to Support and Defend aims to equip and train our veterans to fight in the public policy realm for the benefit of our service men and women.

DEPLOY

Deploying to the time and place of need requires sacrifice by our servicemembers and their families. Now it’s time for veterans to continue fighting for the oath to protect the freedoms of our Constitutional Republic.

FIGHT

Please join us in support of the constitutional values and freedoms we’ve fought to preserve.

WIN

Our country was founded by patriots willing to step up in defense of their natural rights. It is time for all of us to get involved in our political process to ensure our country remains a beacon of constitutional values.

von Spakovsky: We Shouldn’t Be Promoting Voting by Mail

By |December 11, 2022|

A polling place under the bipartisan supervision of election officials and the observation of poll watchers has numerous advantages. It helps ensure not only that the ballots are completed by the registered voters and deposited in a locked, sealed ballot box, but also that the voters’ eligibility and identity are verified; that no voters are pressured or coerced to vote a particular way by candidates, party activists, and political guns-for-hire, who are all prohibited from being inside the polling place; and that no ballots get “lost” in the mail or not delivered on time.

The Robert B. Carleson Freedom Scholarship

The American Constitutional Rights Union is proud to announce the creation of The Robert B. Carleson Freedom Scholarship, honoring our founder’s lifelong dedication to liberty, limited government, and the principles of the U.S. Constitution.

Beginning in January 2026, this scholarship will be awarded annually to graduating high school seniors who demonstrate a strong commitment to constitutional values and civic responsibility.

Named for Robert B. Carleson, a visionary public servant who championed individual freedom and self-reliance, the scholarship will help deserving students pursue higher education while carrying forward his enduring legacy. Learn more about Robert Carleson’s impact here.
