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 Today, although no longer active-duty warriors, we are still bound to this pledge and believe we are ethically obligated to protect our country.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.

America’s 21st Century National Security Strategy

Allen West2025-12-16T21:15:13+00:00December 16, 2025|

"A Nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through the alleys, and heard in the very halls of government itself."

Leftists Say the Strangest Things

Allen West2025-12-10T16:36:06+00:00December 10, 2025|

Leftists are always the first to scream that rejection of their absurd policies results in people dying. Yet, when Americans are actually dying, they refute the fact and seek to convince us that there is no threat or danger.

If We Care About Lawfare, Start With the DEI and Woke Requirements Being Imposed by State Judge Pickers

J. Kenneth Blackwell2025-12-06T18:50:23+00:00December 6, 2025|

The Left’s relentless campaign of woke lawfare has been on my mind recently. As I wrote this fall in these very pages, “we are in the midst of a wave of lawfare against anything that resists the Left: the Trump Administration, industries that have refused to bend the knee to progressive policy preferences, and individuals who dare disagree or speak up against the Left’s worldview.”

The Party of No Responsibility

Allen West2025-12-03T19:32:19+00:00December 3, 2025|

I learned an important maxim from my service in the Army: "Leaders take responsibility, they never take credit.” It is time that America stops selecting imbecilic, irresponsible charlatans as elected officials. It is time for the adults to step up, as responsible adults, and do what is necessary to lead this Nation. It starts with telling the American people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, or being gimme-crats.

Sympathy for the Devil

Allen West2025-12-03T19:27:44+00:00December 3, 2025|

How does the United States deal with non-state, non-uniform unlawful combatants? Those who are part of a defined state's armed services, who wear a common uniform, and openly carry their weapons and arms are recognized by the Law of Land Warfare as "lawful combatants.” And, as lawful combatants, they are afforded what is termed "combatant privilege.” Go back and read about the Geneva Convention protections. However, non-state, non-uniform belligerents on the battlefield, terrorists, are not afforded combatant privilege because they are unlawful combatants.

Thanksgiving and Our First Freedom

Allen West2025-11-26T15:16:38+00:00November 26, 2025|

Greetings y'all, I am praying that everyone will enjoy a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends. This is one of those special American celebrations, traditions, but it is also imperative that we understand the real nature of why we should be giving thanks.
