Pray for a Patriot
In preparing a post this evening that highlights our involvement in the upcoming “United Border Coalition Tea Party” in Arizona, it was discovered that Nancy Huzar, the primary event organizer, suffered a loss in the family.
Nancy’s status update tells the story:
Rest in Peace for my daughter
Kathryn (KT) Marie Huzar
07/24/2004 – 07/26/2010
You are the world to your family and you will be missed.
For those who don’t know, Nancy Huzar is a model patriot in the modern day liberty movement. Nancy is the President and Co-Founder of United We Stand For Americans, and her tireless work is noticed by thousands of activists across the country.
On behalf of Liberty First PAC and the Patriot Caucus, I want to extend our condolences and prayers for Nancy and her family in these tough times.
You can leave a comment for Nancy on her Facebook Page here. Catch her on Twitter here.

Liberty First PAC, a national committee of tea party organizers and activists, congratulates Ray McKinney for his strong performance and first place win in the Georgia Republican Primary!
Ray McKinney, a fiscal conservative hawk and long time patriot in the movement, finished the primary with 42.6% of the vote. The second place goes to Carl Smith, who pulled 27.9%, creating a runoff election scheduled for August 10.
Liberty First PAC and the Patriot Caucus have supported Ray McKinney from the day he decided to run for Congress, and we’re proud to continue supporting his candidacy into the general election and beyond.
Liberty First PAC is currently hosting a fundraiser to raise $5,000 to spend in the Georgia race. Our intention is to contribute $1,000 directly to the campaign and spend $4,000 in independent expenditures to promote Ray to the voters in Georgia.

A recent Quinnipiac Poll has been released that supposedly confirms what everyone already knew about the Tea Party Movement (TPM). The liberal news media and blogging world is having a heyday with the poll results; this much is certain. Some of the liberal confirmations are the TPM is overwhelmingly Republican or GOP-leaning, is made up of a people who did not vote for Obama, and is predominately white.
Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute said, “The Tea Party movement is mostly made up of people who consider themselves Republicans. They are less educated but more interested in politics than the average Joe and Jane Six-Pack and are not in a traditional sense swing voters.” He went on to mention the concern of many in the TPM and confirm what many in the Democratic Party already know Continue Reading
The latest weekly tracking poll from Gallup reveals the results of a Generic Ballot Test which for those not familiar with the survey, may lead to the question, “exactly what is a Generic Ballot Test?” In short, it serves as a barometer of the percentage of voters in national surveys who say they intend to vote for either the Republican or the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in their district. Historically, the generic ballot has served to present a fairly accurate picture of the national political environment in mid-term elections. Practically speaking, the GBT gives some indication of which way the political winds are blowing.
The latest GBT polling reported by Gallup shows the Republicans leading the Democrats 48%-44%. Continue Reading
In the past, Tax Day Tea Parties were made up of conservative, grassroots Americans expressing their concerns over the direction of their country. The issues were basically government waste and misuse of tax dollars, the disrespect and disregard of the US Constitution, and expressions of passion and patriotism. Along the way, there were a few counter protesters who had differing viewpoints standing across the street or on the corner.
Mixed in were a few right wing extremists, who were very small in number – usually five or less, with ten at the max. They usually had their own agenda and did not represent the ideology of the hundreds of other Americans represented at the rallies. In the beginning of the Tea Party Movement Continue Reading
