The Patriot Institute is an non-partisan organization with the purpose of restoring our Constitutional republic through political education and activism. It is a forum for the exchange of ideas and to inform our friends and followers of the threats and victories in the battle for freedom. But the Patriot Institute is so much more. The Patriot Institute's core mission is to out community organize the community organizers. Instead of just supporting one candidate and therefore one race, our goal is to affect 10,000 races by educating 10,000 candidates on how to beat the progressives and liberal of every political party at their own game. America is in serious trouble. The world is in serious trouble. At the time of this writing, there are wars in the Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Israel and Gaza. There are also Islamic fundamentalist terror groups killing Christians and each other across Africa and in Asia. China is flexing its muscles in the Pacific and Iran is growing closer and closer to developing nuclear weapons. Domestically, America's borders have been opened and we are being flooded by illegal immigrants who are being welcomed into our ever expanding and unsustainable welfare state. Our core values that made America exceptional across the world are under attack at every level every day. Veterans are left to die while waiting for medical care. Christianity and all religion is being driven from our classrooms and our public squares. Work is demonized while becoming wards of the State is rewarded. Our president is acting more and more like a dictator and what is supposed to be the opposition party is standing by grandstanding but effectively doing nothing. In the end, We the People will pay for this in more ways than we can today imagine. This attack comes not just from Washington but from every level of government from our town halls, county legislatures, state assemblies and our supposed representatives in Congress. Our school boards argue more about money, unions and building grants and less and less about educating our children all the while special interest groups, corporations and their complicit agencies in government ram Common Core down their throats. Someone has to DO something. Welcome to the Patriot Institute. If you are among the many millions of Americans who have just had enough and are ready to stand for freedom and liberty, you've come to the right place. Ultimately, the Patriot Institute will be a virtual and actual brick and mortar institution where we educate, inform and lead conservative political activists, candidates and citizens on how to confront this monstrosity and win. We will connect disparate conservative groups and patriotic individuals across the country empowering all of us to make a difference in our community, our town and in the end, restore this country back to what it was, back to what it was always supposed to be: a beacon of Freedom where personal property rights, limited government, parental rights, the rights to self defense, and personal responsibility and our core values are respected and the Rule of Law is restored.
