Today is an important election here in the Commonwealth of Virginia and many states around the country. Conservative candidates have caught fire with momentum as the Left’s corruption and false promises come to light.
Parents are standing up to Joe Biden and the disastrous policies of the Left that destroy our children and decimate our economy. Today is a critical moment to decide if we will allow socialism to be preached in our schools or will we take a stand for our nation’s founding principles of freedom and opportunity.
This election is critical -- please VOTE!

Tell Congress to OPPOSE President Biden’s vaccine mandates on Americans
|
President Biden has issued sweeping vaccine mandates, forcing employees at companies with more than 100 people to get vaccinated, as well as dictating to federal employees and contract workers that they get the vaccine. Employers face large fines, and employees face immediate termination for not complying.
Congress must hear from all of us. Contact your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose and defund these heavy-handed mandates that undermine individual freedom and liberty.

Why does ACU Foundation work on criminal justice reform? Because we can improve the system to hold people accountable, reduce incarceration rates, and make our neighborhoods safer at the same time. Former Acting US Attorney General, Matt Whitaker, and ACUF’s own David Safavian, write about how a little girl was abducted and kept in a shed for 18 years -- delivering two babies while she was locked away -- even though federal probation officers repeatedly inspected the kidnapper’s home. Read their op-ed in the Washington Examiner.

After writing an op-ed in the American Spectator, ACUF’s Pat Nolan was on C-Span’s Washington Journal last week, discussing how we can help formerly incarcerated people become good citizens again. The key is finding meaningful work. So-called “Clean Slate” policies automate the record sealing process for those who convicted of low-level, non-violent crimes – but only if they remain crime free for at least seven years. Five states have adopted Clean Slate (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and Connecticut). These policies cut recidivism and make it easier for those who have made mistakes to re-enter society. More on Pat Nolan’s C-SPAN interview here.

"I choose to support the eradication of communism in the United States and to end the leftist agenda by working to restore this country to the vision of our founding fathers. This includes working to support CPAC events and the work that happens year-round and off the stage, like the Centers for Legislative Accountably, Criminal Justice Reform, and educational programming. Together we stand for a cause that is rooted in protecting every American’s right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness."
