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.

By |January 20, 2026|

The fall of Islam will start here in Texas, and it will inspire others in America to stand, and in turn do so for the world. We begin by reading their strategic plan and understanding who they are, and taking them at their word. Islam is not looking for coexistence, so scratch them off that bumper sticker. They tell you so. Don't believe me? Ask Christians in Nigeria, the Middle East, Sudan, and globally.

Ken Blackwell: An America First Trade Policy That Works

By |January 15, 2026|

For decades, American trade policy rested on an assumption that proved costly: that lowering barriers would naturally produce fairness, stability, and shared prosperity. Instead, the United States absorbed the downside of openness while many trading partners protected their own industries, subsidized exports, and exploited access to the American market. The result was dependency, not dividends.
