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 Today, although no longer active-duty warriors, we are still bound to this pledge and believe we are ethically obligated to protect our country.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

The Real Constitutional Crisis

Allen West2025-03-18T16:10:27+00:00March 18, 2025|

There is a clear message that has to be sent: supporting criminal illegal immigrants and terrorist organizations will not be tolerated any longer.

Hey Democrats, Stop Digging

ACRU Staff2025-03-18T14:50:04+00:00March 18, 2025|

Do I think that the progressive socialist left who control the Democrat party will stop digging themselves into a deeper political hole? Nope.

Article III of the U.S. Constitution

Allen West2025-03-12T22:21:17+00:00March 12, 2025|

Progressive socialist leftists do not embrace the three branches of government. They prefer the three branches of rule — media, academia, and the courts.

What do Democrats Stand For?

Allen West2025-03-11T14:11:40+00:00March 11, 2025|

I remember a time when the Democrats did stand, and cheer in unison. It was when Barack Hussein Obama asserted during a State of the Union address that he had a pen and a phone and would take executive action.

Commentary: Big Pharma Puts China and Profits Over Americans

J. Kenneth Blackwell2025-03-07T18:55:08+00:00March 7, 2025|

Pharmaceutical company executives have been courting President Trump trying to convince him to protect their industry and to continue the cozy relationship between Big Pharma and the government. But Americans voted for change and transparency. With ever-increasing drug prices and decreasing health outcomes, drugmakers’ practices are failing the American public. It’s time for the U.S. government to take a hard stand and hold these corporations accountable. Read More: Commentary: Big Pharma Puts China and Profits Over Americans | The Ohio Star

Effective and firm leadership also entails acknowledging when a policy must be adjusted to reflect the realities on the ground. That’s the case with tin mill products, including tinplate steel, a specialized steel used to produce food cans for everything from beans and broth, carrots and corn to tomatoes and tuna.
