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 Today, although no longer active-duty warriors, we are still bound to this pledge and believe we are ethically obligated to protect our country.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

What Type of People are Against the SAVE America Act?

March 24, 2026|

Over 80% of Black Americans support photo ID to vote, so who exactly is opposing the SAVE America Act, and why? The same people demanding "no Jim Crow 2.0" have no problem with TSA and airlines requiring ID from this Black man. The new white supremacists aren't wearing hoods; they're standing at podiums arguing that People of Color are too incompetent to obtain a picture ID.

Are We There Yet?

March 17, 2026|

“Are we there yet?” may be funny coming from kids on a road trip, but it is a dangerous way to think about war and national security. Using a family travel story as the setup, this piece argues that America’s struggle with Iran cannot be measured in days or weeks, but in decades of aggression, missed opportunities, and the long game our enemies are already playing.

Shall Not Be Infringed

March 11, 2026|

What happens when the state that gave America James Madison considers legislation that critics say undermines the very rights he helped enshrine? A proposed Virginia law would ban the future sale of certain semi-automatic firearms and magazines, igniting a fierce debate over the Second Amendment, constitutional limits, and the role of government in regulating arms. Supporters argue the measure promotes public safety. Opponents say it contradicts both the historical purpose of the amendment and Supreme Court rulings affirming an individual right to keep and bear arms. With the bill now sitting on the governor’s desk, the controversy highlights a broader national clash over constitutional interpretation, public safety, and the enduring meaning of the right to bear arms.

Who Owns the American Story?

March 10, 2026|

When $24 billion in foreign sovereign wealth fund money backs a deal to control a third of America's entertainment market, that's not just a business transaction. Allen West makes a compelling case that the proposed Warner Bros. Discovery/Paramount merger is a cultural inflection point we're sleepwalking through. Our stories shape our values, and whoever controls those stories wields real power.
