Military men and women choose to step forward to defend our freedoms. They take an oath to support and defend the Constitution.

  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.

By |February 10, 2026|

During Black History Month, ACRU Executive Director Allen West reflects on being born in a segregated Atlanta hospital in 1961 and uses that personal history to challenge modern claims that voter ID laws resemble Jim Crow. Tracing the arc from Black Codes and segregation to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the political narrative surrounding race and voting rights has been reshaped over time.

The Second Amendment Doesn’t Have an Asterisk

By |February 4, 2026|

FBI Director Kash Patel’s recent comments about firearms at protests sparked a needed reminder: the Bill of Rights isn’t a buffet. Carrying a firearm at a peaceful protest remains constitutionally protected, while criminal behavior, like interfering with law enforcement, brings its own legal consequences. The danger lies in blurring that line. When officials imply that lawful carry equals a threat, they unintentionally hand ammunition to those eager to chip away at constitutional rights.

  • Fighting for Election Integrity, WI Rep. Donna Rozar
