The American Conservative Union (ACU) is an American political organization that advocates for conservative policies, ranks politicians based on their level of conservatism, and organizes the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Founded on December 18, 1964, it calls itself the oldest ongoing conservative lobbying organization in the U.S.[2] The ACU is concerned with issues such as personal liberty or freedom, foreign policy, and traditional values, which they define as foundations of conservatism.[3]
