The Committee to Support and Defend Action Fund

Mobilizing veterans to become involved in public policy solutions to save the country.

As former members of the U.S. military who have proudly served our nation, we express our support for Constitutional freedom and liberty and our concern for our country as many powerful forces seek to bring Socialism and Marxism to our land. Please join us in support of the constitutional values and freedoms we’ve fought to preserve.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

When we agreed to serve our country, we pledged to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. During our active-duty service, we did just that. Today, although no longer active-duty warriors, we are still bound to this pledge and believe we are ethically obligated to protect our country. As such, we put our nation’s leadership on notice.

We call upon the American people to join us in opposing the advancement of socialism by holding public officials accountable in the public square and the voting booth. We must elect local, state, and federal candidates who will always act to defend our Constitutional Republic.

The survival of our Nation and its historic values, liberty and freedom are at stake.

No Left Turn

We believe the hard left turn toward Socialism and Marxism endangers our citizens and the future of this great nation.

Wokeness in the Military

We oppose the politicization and ideological purging of our military. The focus of our military should be on training, readiness, and defense of our Nation, not leftist cultural “wokeness”.

Rule of Law

We are disgusted by the dismantling of the rule of law in our great country. The disregard and disrespect is corrosive and will lead to dangerous situations for citizens and law enforcement. A revolving door for criminals and a two-tiered justice system that offers up different penalties based on the viewpoints of the accused must end.

Censorship

We decry the assault on our constitutional rights through censorship of written and verbal expression and we point out the complicit arrangement between private corporations and those in power to present only one point of view. Never did we think we would see the day when our media resembled Pravda.

Fair and Honest Elections

It disturbs us to see the erosion of fair and honest elections. Civilians doubt that our electoral system accurately reflects the will of the people. Current servicemen and women struggle to find clear instructions on how they can execute their own constitutional right to vote and doubt their ballots will be counted. We reject efforts by those who seek to avoid fair and honest elections by deeming commonsense voting measures “racist.” The gold standard in voting, recognized throughout the world, is in person, with identification, yet politicians are seeking to end this in the U.S.

Against Crisis Tyrants

Bureaucratic abuses that have led to business and school closures and excessive lockdowns should not be tolerated by the American people. We do not get our rights from the CDC, the FDA or from private corporations. And, as such, we will not tolerate Soviet-style internal passports or anything resembling the Chinese social credit system where citizens are monitored and controlled, whether that system be carried out by the government or by their cooperative partners in the private sector.

Protect our Borders

The perforation of our southern border is a lifeline for terrorists, drug cartels and human traffickers. The current administration’s position on open borders and illegal immigrants places our nation at risk from a health, economic and safety perspective. As a sovereign nation, we have a right and a duty to protect our borders.

Energy Independence

We must continue our efforts for energy independence. We believe it is in our nation’s best interest to reopen the Keystone Pipeline and focus on regaining U.S. jobs and protecting the national security interests provided by energy independence.

COMMITTEE UPDATES

The Real Purveyors of Jim Crow

Allen West2026-02-10T19:06:18+00:00February 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

Lori Roman2026-02-04T23:13:56+00:00February 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.

Freedom of Religion…for Who?

Allen West2026-02-04T22:40:07+00:00February 4, 2026|

The very first freedom, liberty, in our individual Bill of Rights is the freedom of religion and the free exercise thereof. So, with this backdrop, I found it quite interesting, hypocritical, earlier this week on Monday, that four Muslim women in hijabs were passing out Qurans and hijabs at Wylie East HS in Wylie, Texas.

Stop Calling Them Democrats

Allen West2026-02-03T18:01:42+00:00February 3, 2026|

America was founded on individual liberty, not collectivist control, but 250 years later, that core principle is under direct assault. From dismissing rugged individualism to embracing Marxist ideology, today’s political left no longer even pretends to align with the ideals of the Declaration of Independence.

A Challenge of Constitutional Will

Allen West2026-01-28T21:01:41+00:00January 28, 2026|

From encrypted coordination to open obstruction of federal law enforcement, events in Minneapolis fit the textbook definition of an insurgency. Calling it anything else requires abandoning both legal definitions and intellectual honesty.

Why Are There Black Marxist Leftists?

Allen West2026-01-27T19:52:13+00:00January 27, 2026|

So, as we enter Black History Month 2026, the year of our 250th independence anniversary, why do we have Black Marxist leftists? When one objectively studies Marx and his Communist Manifesto, one will see everything that has nothing in common with American Blacks.
