American Constitutional Rights Union

About

Founded in 1999 as a “constructive alternative” to the “left-wing” American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) defines its mission as to protect the God-given rights outlined in the U.S. Constitution” and to push back against “harmful, anti-constitutional ideologies that have taken hold in our nation’s courts, schools, and bureaucracies.” Robert Carleson originally created the ACRU to support the Boy Scouts of America in its legal fight against the organization being forced to accept openly gay scout leaders.

Lori Roman, president of ACRU, previously served as executive director of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The organization focuses on free speech and gun rights issues, but has a political action arm, ACRU Action. and has been active highlighting very rare cases of election fraud for several years. During the pandemic, Roman called government entities that issued mask mandates, vaccine recommendations, and other public health measures “crisis tyrants.”

  • The ACRU shared a story on its website dismissing the House Select Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol as meaningless and untrustworthy. According to the story, “Democrats pieced a committee together against the rules and under false pretenses in order to persecute their political opposition.”
